I get the vibe that he's just throwing a temper tantrum and being as obnoxious as possible while the company slowly dies. He didn't actually want to buy it in the first place, as evidenced by the fact that he's now trying to sue the lawyers that Twitter hired to force him to honour his commitment to purchasing it, and now that he's made a few bald-faced cash grabs in the form of blue checks and paywalling regular use, he may have decided that he's gotten all the value out of the company he can expect to get and is letting it die in a series of bad business decisions that can maybe be called "legitimate mistakes" so shareholders can't sue him.

He clearly enjoys annoying/terrorizing his staff and shareholders, so doing dumb things might simply be fun for him...yes. But I can't think someone with an ego that big would want to so visibly crash a major company, and he seems hellbent on putting his stamp on it to please whichever "free speechers" he thinks he's pleasing. Blowing up the company in entirety wouldn't seem to meet that goal.

Hanlon's razor/Occam's razor. Don't over-complicate things when the answer is simple. Musk is a narcissistic idiot.

That IS a strong argument. :)
