Elon Musk apparently has bigger issues that should have been preventing him from playing with the idea of buying twitter, and yet, he went for it, following a tweet that simply went out of control... - Tesla plants challenges worldwide (From China to Berlin via Texas) - Cybertruck ever postponing release date? - SolarCity and the dissmissed promises - Neuralink: Simply read the Wikipedia's entry [1] - Hyperloop (or is it hyperflop) - Boring company (more and more video demos) nothing is done... So, with so much to get in order (and I am avoiding personal matters which don't seemed any cheerful for the man), with so much, why don't we simply get ourselves a new toy, named twitter? Recently USA has a president that was following his impoolsive, late night tweets, by pushing his staff to form them as a new policy...

I think the other thing is in the US he now has some competition and they may just overtake the % of EV’s sold in a few years. People will have choices for EV instead of pick Tesla so he potentially used this buying twitter to sell off a bunch of stock. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds other reasons to sell off massive amounts of stock in the next 2 years. My guess is cybertruck will be DOA. Anyone who wants an EV Truck is likely going to order an F-150 Lightning - looks like every other F-150, F-150 is the best selling automobile in the US. Once other auto makers ramp up production, Tesla cars will continue to be a niche luxury product with some gimmicky features.
