He’ll never actually do it. He simply wants to encourage more people to say outrageous things so engagement levels increase as everyone does dumb shit.
Good luck to anyone who falls for this.
When I look at the current state of the internet, I pine for the simpler days of the nineties when a/s/l and stormfront.org look downright warm and fuzzy in comparison. That was just weird individuals being weird. Now it's institutionalized across the entire Internet.
I suspect he may have read this article and taken it to heart:
"They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters desperate
He's eating his children! I knew this day would come I just didn't expect it to be so obvious! He needs engagement so he is going to incite people to say crazy things and then they are going to get in trouble and never be able to get a hold of him. He's just literally fucking with the US government right now. I don't know why but I think Musk is flexing his political strength in a way that he doesn't realize will destroy him.
