    At this point it’s starting to look like he’s intentionally tanking Twitter to remove a major platform where people can organize.

    He’s making moves intentionally stupid that destroy the Twitter brand that was built up.

      He might be doing both, but mostly with a dash of the fact he’s a spoiled self-destructive moron. So if he can’t have it, no one can.
