@dgoldsmith @skykiss I’ve told people all along that the Saudi $ behind #Musk was using him. He’s a convenient racist creep just like #tRump They’re both easily led by their inflated egos & desire for power. Musk actually thought he was going to sell idiots #Dogecoin & have them use that to buy #BlueCheckMarks & thru that he was going to make money & keep Twitter going. All the Saudis wanted was to destroy the place liberals had built to organize. #USPol #USPolitics

@Pineywoozle I don't think that's quite right.

My perception of Musk is that he's a bored troll, and he bought Twitter first because they were willing to sell and second because it would be hilarious to him to see everyone react. It's standard trolling behavior.

I don't think Musk actually thought he'd sell anyone anything. That would only be a side benefit should it work out.

And the thing is, Musk was absolutely right that it would get him that attention and reaction.

After all, we're talking about him.
