26. I also think he has put himself in a no-win situation

The only way Twitter may do well financially is to go back to basically what they already were but that will totally piss off the crazy's on the right who are already pissed that he even met with anyone on the left about standards. Usually greed wins out and wealthy people cave and then do what the advertisers want. He can't admit he was wrong as his ego is so big it's like a giant, cancerous tumor. So Musk is now just making one bad decision after another because of his massive ego it seems. He is a weak minded person and I agree, not that sharp.
