That might be giving Musk too much credit. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
There’s far too many coincidences and moments of horrendous decisions for it all to be chalked up to incompetence at this point.
And no I don’t give him any credit. Credit goes to his handlers which at this point it’s clear is Russia. It’s obvious at this point what’s going on with Twitter is politically driven to benefit GOP and therefore Russia.
When it comes to a malignant narcissist it's actually the reverse. Never attribute to incompetence that which Is adequately explained by malice.
Edit: This kind of thing is typical malignant narcissist evil:

No, Musk is just a moron. You just need to look at his interactions with former staff to realize it was his ego and inability to admit being wrong that ran the company into the ground.
He's been behaving like a bratty child, except he's the owner of the company so any tantrums he throws have direct influence.
