It's like he has a bet that he had to destroy Twitter but he wasn't allowed to just shut it down or kick everyone off.

Every move has been bad. It has to be on purpose. Is this how billionaires get their kicks?

The investors were the kind of people that don't want the kind of on the ground, quick fact reporting that happened during uprisings and the like.

It can't be a coincidence. They're tanking the most popular tool for getting quick communication out.
