Owning shit isn’t working. Why is this controversial?
Hindsight is 20-20, I suppose.

Pissing away 40bn - 15% of your net worth to own the libs by destroying a company you were forced to buy requires an incredible degree of stupidity. Imagine the damage a remotely competent malicious narcissist could do with that kind of money.
For context, the 2016 election cost $6.5bn - for both sides, presidential and congressional elections - that comfortably buys you a quarter century of elections - and if the GOP has power for that long, at this point, there won’t be another election to fund.
Musk clearly has sub-normal IQ - there’s no shame in that, but he has no shortage of other reasons to be ashamed of himself.
Never attribute to malice what can reasonably be attributed to the stupidity, hate, and pig-headedness of an exceptionally fragile billionaire.
Nor does capitalism to be fair…
It’s certainly… something.
