He's either been radicalized by his own platform, or he's intentionally being provocative to drive engagement, to drive ad revenue. It's disgusting.

The hypocrisy is absurd. Like telling everyone to go fuck themselves, and then hours later, pleading for users to post more positive content... or making a big show of being worried about using AI untruthfully, and then repeatedly posting AI-generating images smearing people he doesn't like. Pretending like no one had "free speech" until he bought the platform, and then selectively banning vocal dissent he doesn't like.

He's a child. Such a waste.

He may also have just had an in house AI running his socials for the last few years. Surprising not much discussion around that as a possibility.
Why suggest AI when simply paying a social media manager for his twitter account would be a normal thing to have done at his level of wealth?

Which is something he has obviously done with his grind-centric videogame accounts and actual livestreams of him not knowing how to play on those accounts?

Reason I suggest AI is more related to him as a Technology enthusiast who has had enough money to have private technology available to him to experiment with.
Even if that's true, he's still cosigning the account isn't he? He's putting his name on it, it's not weird for people to assume that these are his viewpoints and/or opinions, no matter how unhinged.
