> Twitter is Teslas marketing department, and probably the marketing department for other Musk firms.

40B+ to scaffold a marketing department?

Well, the market cap of Tesla is currently over $700B, so spending 6% of your market cap on marketing isn't that crazy.

But in this case I don't think Musk is playing checkers, when everybody else is playing chess.. I think he was just doin drugs, and tweetin twetes.

6% of market cap is huge. That's not 6% of revenue. Imagine Apple spending $140B on a marketing department.

Until you account for how grotesquely overvalued TSLA is, anyway
