    It’s crazy that he is probably the only one not seeing how bad he look like and how bad he is destroying reddit

      He doesn’t see reddit as a community, he sees it as a way to make money. If he comes out of it with a profit, then that’s a win even if reddit itself dies.

      At this point I think he’s immolating himself on purpose, and after the api changes are done a new saviour CEO will come, who won’t reverse anything, but with a clean record.

        I dont think his plan is even that deep. They have an ipo coming up and spez is set to make yacht money. he doesnt care if he burns the site to the ground cause he still walks out with a giant paycheck

          They do stuff like that sometimes, like twitter is doing now, by putting a woman CEO right after Elon set everything on fire, so that twitter vocal minority can blame her and say that Elon was doing everything better. It’s what they call the Glass Cliff. Something similar might be happening here, without the anti-feminist part.

            What has that to do with the CEO being a woman? Every CEO after Elon “lost”, trying to get that mess back on track is going to blow up on Twitter, regardless of sex

      Nah, he doesn’t care. Between how much he has now, and what he gets in the IPO, he has “fuck you” money now. He knows this is bad publicity, but it won’t matter in the long run.
