xp not to draw comparisons to any political figures of late, but I feel like Elon's definitely leaned into the strategy of constantly doing some new bullshit to draw attention, and I don't think it's a calculated "don't look at that, look at this!" thing. just a never-ending stream of bullshit

nah having a ton of kids with a bunch of different women is something he's very much proud of and I think he gets off on the fact that pictures of the women he's sleeping with are going around
that said he definitely has that need to make every news cycle revolve around him at all times, each new controversy is a new opportunity to defend yourself and piss off the haters, plus (like Trump) there's probably something to be said for his shitposting being the reason for at least some of his success

Depends how big your head is, I guess. If you're a normal human, 5 cm. If you're the Elephant Man, 3".

selling $8.5B and having to maybe pay $1B (post-tax) of that as damages? doesn't make sense

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 12 July 2022 23:25 (one year ago) link
This is like the best reverse poison pill. Musk attempts an aggressive, obnoxious hostile takeover of Twitter, for no good reason, Twitter half calls the bluff and agrees to a high price, Musk agrees then compulsively fucks it up so, eventually, tries to back out of the deal, but Twitter is more or less forced to sue to ensure the sale goes through. End result: Twitter, which probably didn't want to be sold, sues a guy, who probably didn't really want to buy it, for deciding not to buy it. Twitter remains as is, Musk loses several billion/face. And now he's also made an enemy of Asshole, who doesn't let things slide, ever.

Yeah, but if you debase yourself to get back in his good graces you've already lost, and besides, Asshole keeps the receipts and is ready to revert at a moment's notice. But it's a win-win for spectators, that's for sure.
