I find Elon Musk to be a fascinating person.
I cannot pretend that I understand his motives for any of his actions, be it buying a 9.2% of Twitter, or tweeting something strange. No more than I can understand the motives of my next door neighbor who mows her lawn twice a week in the summer.
I think the premises which many people hold about Musk are based on their own personal experiences, which are undoubtedly far different than those of Musk. Given that, I suspect the conclusion which they draw about him are likely incorrect.
But, I too enjoy the pastime of trying to imagine what Musk is up to. So far I work from these premises:
* He doesn't do anything unintentionally.
* Most of his Twitter behavior is a ruse.
* He likes to skirt the rules.
- gigaflop 5y agoSome things I like to ask myself when his name inevitably comes up: * Is he being stupid? * Is he promoting something? If so, for who's gain? * Is he lying? * Did he let the wrong thought out of his head and piss people off? Nobody in his position would be too thick-skulled to see that his biggest fans aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. Consider how he's treated his own employees, and ask if you think he's above poking and prodding his cult following to his own ends or entertainment.
