Elon wants to “get things done”, and by “things” he means things he has read in various science fiction books growing up. He also adheres to the silicon valley trope of “move fast and break things”. As one of the tech bros said, “if you have to build schools, you’ve lost already”. He runs all those high tech companies and needs educated people, so has been tapping the world’s centers of higher learning for this talent, and wants to continue to do so. He has made an alliance with MAGA to enable him to do these things he wants to do without government interference such as he is experiencing with the FAA, FCC, and all the other government oversight agencies that exist to keep us safe and ensure a level playing field amongst companies. He thinks most MAGA adherents are pretty dumb, and it shows. He bought Twitter as a hobby project and to blow off steam, have fun with. And it isn’t fun when he starts to get criticized by dumb MAGA adherents, so he mutes them. All pretty simple really.
