It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

Narcissists like him would never seek failure intentionally.

You've obviously never played a board game with a narcissist. Flipping over the table and calling everyone, including the game they themselves purchased, cheaters is a totally expected move.

They're not doing that to lose. They're doing that because they already lost.

I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT, LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE!

Fucking cheaters

You're not wrong but he bought it at an extremely overpriced amount so he did already kind of lose.

Musk 'lost' when he had to spend the $44 billion. I can totally believe that he's burning Twitter out of spite from having to buy it.

It’s just like Michael from The Office. You see he isn’t doing things on purpose to sabotage everyone, but he can’t control itself, he needs the attention and the self worship.
