@stevesilberman For that take to be true, Elon would have to have had clear goals beforehand and would have needed the necessary focus and dedication over the course of months to work towards those goals.

That seems to be vastly overestimating his abilities.

Occam's Razor says he bought a fun toy and the rest is just rich guy flailing.

Attributing malice to his incompetence is a fool's errand.

@LouisIngenthron @stevesilberman in my experience, malice and incompetence go hand in hand; the difference is academic

It doesn't really matter what he *meant* to do, what matters is what actually comes of it

@filby @stevesilberman I strongly disagree with all of that. Intent matters.
