Twitter is going down. The question is whether it will take Musk down with it.
What I realized is he saw contraction in demand at Tesla and wanted a public pretense to sell some without triggering a panic. He had all the Tesla projections long before his tweet about feeling "super bad" about the economy. This deal turned funny money into feeling like a club promoter.
He'd cause less panic by saying "I need to sell some because I wanted to buy a small country".
