      I think it’s a midlife crisis thing. He is trying to capture his youth.

      I don’t think he ever planned to be bought out the first time.

      Per a coworker who has paid much closer attention than me, the “plan” (if you can call it that) was always to build an independent financial system that is presumably less regulated than the current one.

      The same coworker believes he bought Twitter solely for its established user base and nothing more. The “free speech” aspect was to attract people who would probably be interested in a deregulated financial system.

          I mean he might have some idea of what he wants to do, no good/sound plan to get there, and enough money to just keep failing forwards. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.

          Like the OceanGate guy. Money and an idea don’t make you a visionary genius mastermind, but they can let you cosplay as one.
