Yep, destroying all of his businesses at once.
Elon Musk has set a Guinness World Record for the "largest loss of personal fortune in history” following his takeover of Twitter.

Elon is too big of a narcissistic moron to realize that Twitter isn't a good platform for videos. Folks (doom)scroll thru Twitter. They don't go there to look at half-hour or hour videos.

And now Musk is also making Twitter a dating app. LOL.

So, 100 million views in 24 hours on the initial tweet, and 21 million views on the three minute announcement. Oh yeah, I can see this won't work.

Twitter engagement does not, even on a 3 minute videos, do not necessarily translate to a willingness to watch a video for 30 or 60 minutes on Twitter. The point that this experienced former Twitter employee made is obviously lost on you, namely that "the core issue with attempting to shift Twitter toward television is the contrast between the requirement that you sit still to watch a show and the basic Twitter experience of scrolling."
Personally, I don't give a shit one way or the other whether Carlson spews his fascist nonsense on Twitter. He'll simply help drive more advertisers away from the platform than Musk has already done with his AltRight antics.
