As an investment, or a for-profit business venture, it's a complete disaster for Musk. But if his intention was actually to trade money for influence over a social media platform's agenda, then it's hard to argue that he hasn't succeeded, even if that social media platform takes a battering as a...

Smells like cope, to be honest. If it's true ... that's more financial power than I want a single human to have but, since this is the world we live in, good for him I guess. "Living his best life" as the kids say.
