Tech tycoon’s floundering may one day be seen as the moment that gravity reasserted itself
If Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter is little more than “a game played by billionaires”, as disgruntled employees have claimed, then it is one he seems closer to losing with every passing day.
And the maverick inventor has only been at the social media platform for five minutes.
With Musk, it is always hard to tell what’s real and what isn’t – where the line between genius and insanity starts and ends.It’s possible, of course, that the joke is on us mere mortals and self-destruction was the intention all along.
What a cruel yet brilliant twist that would be – the super-hero who was always a secret super-villain, just as his fiercest critics have long suspected.
