Is this like when that Roman emperor named his horse as a senator, or are we not quite there yet?

The most sane interpretation is that Elon Musk was payed to dilute or destroy Twitter. I can't think of anything else that would make sense.

Throwing 44 billion dollars on a company and then gutting it for everything that was valuable including a unique brand that had even its own verb?

But the sad reality is probably that a 12 years old narcissist edgelord in the body of a billionaire wanted a vanity plate.

The US is already there, with an almost brain-dead 90-year old Senator being as good as gone, so that a privately-owned company doing whatever its largest owner thinks fit for the good of the company going forward doesn't even get close to that.
