The three texts were sent on April 4, 2022. In the nearly 18 months since then, many of the decisions Musk made after he bought Twitter appear to have closely followed that road map, up to and including his ongoing attacks against the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit organization founded by Jewish Americans to counter discrimination.

The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”

Seems he's killing it to get cheers and adulation from the far right.

Why try to back out then? If this was some catch and kill op why did he humiliate himself and involve a fuck ton of bank loans??

Also it’s not like that text is some grand fuckin plan lmao

It’s a damn copy paste from the fascist playbook, reverse victim and offender/gaslight/silence those you don’t like with your new power

Frankly he's a fucking idiot. He and his parents have been wealthy enough that he's never actually had a meaningful consequence of any decision he's ever made.

And, if he's sad about it, he just cries into a mountain of money until he feels superior again.

If he wanted to kill it, this whole charade would be utterly pointless. He could literally just pull the plug.
