Elon Musk has said and done a lot of weird and outrageous things during his tenure as the owner of Twitter (now X), but we may have just seen the weirdest and most outrageous.

    And this bit

    In a normal situation, you might see the value of a company drop and Musk sell it off to someone else for a loss on what he paid for it. But this is not a normal situation, as Musk’s comments and overall behavior lately seem to indicate. It would be unwise to think he might not just take the whole thing down out of spite, and attempt to tell the world that it was the giant megacorps that did this. The only ones who will believe him are his beloved Blue Checks, but they will not even exist anymore.

      The blue checks will still exist, and they’ll follow him to his next project. He’s probably hoping they’ll become his neurolink guinea pigs.
