You are assuming he's a rational actor.
Ha ha! I’m certain he is a “very stable genius.”
I do like to see people, unstable or not, raise the idea of alternatives to a “free with ads” model.
I know Musk is not the person to do it and the hope itself that is ridiculous and the horse long ago left the barn.
Still, Buckworks (if she’s reading) will know what I mean when I say that fundamentally the “free with ads” model for these big platforms was a bargain with Mammon that has had toxic effects.
As for Musk, I really don’t care if he destroys X. It would be a shame if he destroyed Tesla and a problem for me personally if he tanks Starlink with his antics. I hope these companies can move past Musk who seems to have some level of clinical mental health issues.
