if he wanted to piss away a few billion why not give it to a worthy cause ?
what's the benefit to him for doing that?

he'd rather his weird friends than actually doing something good, it's as simple as that

despite being a racist and overall POS, what is the benefit for Elon in allowing Twitter to go full MAGA ? Just because he can ?

Id argue that twitter, if run and moderated correctly, it would be the biggest and most valuable news service in the world.
Well it kind of was prior to Elon wasnt it? Not saying it was perfect, but he has made it worse.

I mean if you put his political opinions to the side, there are more bots, and misinformation running rampant than ever.

Essential he's accepted the world as we know it will end soon and he wants to have a hand(or lead) in whatever the leftovers do. Kinda goes to the space stuff too.

There is a funny story about how he and Grimes first got chatting, it fits in with this world view

He's making the gamble that in the long run he will make money.

That's not about his fight for free speech.
It's about doing what certain Governments and political figures ask him to do.
The tech giants are well above money and govt's. He has very little interest in money, who would after 1 billion, it just becomes more and more monopoly printouts

I've said it a few times, he's exactly what you'd get if you gave a teenage incel a few billion dollars.

How people end up following Trump or Musk with cult-like determination is beyond me, they're two of the worst human beings imaginable.
They both offer a tacit endorsement to people being the worst versions of themselves.

I think you've got your answer about how people end up following them

That's their ideal
 
Elon likes the sugar hit that rage bait generates.. short sighted, get rid of all the trolls and bots then people would use the system more and then advertisers would come back..
