Is it? Chaotic, certainly. But if you proposed in 2021 that there was a way to:

* make white nationalism acceptable on Twitter

* while increasing the US government's dependence on it

* at the same time that the US president owns a competing social media app

I think nearly anyone would have told you that's impossible. Strategic chaos in service of a bad goal just looks stupid from a distance.

Maybe the point of buying Twitter was to help elect Trump and get his fingers into the administration

His net worth figure certainly seems to indicate that it wasn’t stupid
