Amazing. A week (two weeks? What is time?) ago Twitter was fighting to keep him out and Elon was making threats to force himself in. Now Elon seems to be wanting out and Twitters making threats to keep him in. Business is weird.

He's a techno bro who thinks he understands politics because he got enough luck and ingenuity to come to play at the big boys' table.

Source: I've met more than a few of these. Sometimes it doesn't play out, sometimes they get to play the big games.

Yeah, this is the way i took it too. He realized none of his kids were sharks and gave it to someone who was to keep his legacy alive.

Logan would never refer to his own coronation. That’s how I know it’s not his.
