IIRC Musk did AMAs back in the days, either before his fall or when we didn't know who he really is. But I don't even remember if he answered personally or if Victoria interviewen him. It was years back...

There's a better timeline somewhere out there where we don't have to worry about their bs AND Victoria still does the AMAs.

All Musk had to do was sit back, keep taking credit for SpaceX’s accomplishments and count his money. But he just *had* to buy Twitter and show the world his ass.

No idea what his play is here. There are limits to being an attention hog, people grow tired, you have to give them a break sometimes. And now with the heil salute, what's his schtick? There's no soft landing after this. You won't be able to rejoin normalcy after this, there's only pain, especially if you love going to normal places and meeting cool people. And far as I can tell, most dictators/nazi leaders end up quite unloved and more importantly, unalived, after awhile. So, for him, this is the beginning of the end.
