Elon Musk admits ~~X~~ Twitter 'may fail, ~~as so many have predicted~~ as was planned'

Seriously, I don't believe for a second that exponentially-scaling douchebag didn't buy Twitter just to crash the fucker. 'Fuck you' money is capable of that, as that linearly-scaled douchebag Terry Bollea proved.

My uninformed opinion on this is that he is so immensely rich that Twitter doesn't really need to be profitable in the long term anyway. Kinda like how YouTube usually operates at loss, but on Hitler's drug cocktail. It may bite him in the ass eventually because his whole house of cards of "real life Tony Stark" seems to be waning, but I think he's about as likely to become bankrupt as Yankee student loans are to be forgiven.
