What I'm interested in are the larger structural / economic changes that might be contributing to this. I don't pay much attention to Musk but I wonder how much of this was initially him months ago trying to come up with a new way to kick the can of his own unsustainable businesses down the road by buying Twitter and turning it into an "everything app" that can summon your robo-Tesla -- not feasible but useful to generate enough PR to keep investment flowing as internal pressures at Tesla mounted and the free-money spigot started to get turned off. Then Twitter's shareholders were looking to cash out at the same time.
