I don't understand how people can --
-- on the one hand, be outraged that Elon bought Twitter, and be upset that he's doing layoffs --
-- and on the other, enjoy schadenfreudistic pleasure that Elon has just been forced to pay $40B for an obvious pile of garbage --
-- all because they love to hate the loud rich guy.
I mean, I do understand, but the two thoughts don't seem logically compatible. Either Twitter is shit, layoffs were overdue, and he's a bagholder; or it's a valuable thing with necessary staff that he's acquired; I don't see how it can be both.
It seems like the anger is misplaced. Who pocketed the $40B? If the whole thing was bullshit all along, and somebody just checkmated Elon into bribing him $40B to end the grift and hang the Potemkin employees out to dry -- who was that person who took the money? Who cashed out, betraying the lower employees? Who did Elon buy Twitter from?
