Is it? Chaotic, certainly. But if you proposed in 2021 that there was a way to:
* make white nationalism acceptable on Twitter
* while increasing the US government's dependence on it
* at the same time that the US president owns a competing social media app
I think nearly anyone would have told you that's impossible. Strategic chaos in service of a bad goal just looks stupid from a distance.
I really think his entire Twitter purchase was a way to get political leverage
Musk is thinking far down the line
He did try to get out of buying it which everyone seems to have memoryholed. I doubt anything other than way too much ketamine is behind a lot of the chaotic decision making.
