If you still believe Musk is a super big brain genius then it has to be intentional. But he really is just a dumbass. Everything else he has tried to do at twitter has failed, the paid check marks and paid API access didn’t generate the money he thought it would so this is his next hail mary. Why? Who the fuck knows what’s going on in that squashed melon of his. But all it will do is further erode trust in the platform and more advertisers will flee.
