Dude, the GP said they'd post "the most grotesque and offensive things." Please note the "AND offensive". And yet, you keep trying to deny that the GP's intent is to post offensive things?

> Right, it's not limited to being offensive, and even if it were, you can limit exposure.

What do you mean by limit exposure? How would the GP limit exposure of their grotesque and offensive tweets? And even if they did, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of their test? They are trying to increase exposure and see if Musk will limit exposure.

The GP is stating they will purposely offend people to test their suspicions of someone. They are willing to hurt (with words) innocent people to do this. You're calling this normal behavior. So if Musk takes over, it's okay to start calling black people the n word on Twitter to test Musk? I think that qualifies as "most offensive." And to call this testing behavior abnormal is deranged itself according to your words?

And some of your justifications are it's okay to do because Musk is the world's wealthiest individual and he's already offended others?

> It's a test of the word and motivation of not just a billionaire, but one of the world's wealthiest individuals - one who has publicly insulted and offended many people already.
