This is so wacky it's astounding.

You don't buy a company for their servers or employees, those can be found elsewhere for the same price. You buy a company for its users and its brand. To throw away one of the most icon brands in the world, which is present in the footer of every major website in the world, is baffling.

What is the end game here?

What is the end game here?

Bold of you to assume Elon has one.

I'm sure he has an end-game.

It's everything up to that point where he's completely at a loss.

I think his endgame is just boosting his ego. He tried to get this X thing to stick since the PayPal days.

We are just watching the midlife crisis of a guy with way too much money showing that billionaires are not immune to terminally online brain rot.

Why does he need one? Maybe he just got really lucky.
