Is Elon Musk going to turn into the same sort of joke that Trump has become? | Arwa Mahdawi

I hate it when I have to do this but here goes: I was wrong. I was very, very wrong.

I assumed Musk had a couple of brain cells and a little self-restraint; I assumed he wasn’t going to drive away Twitter’s advertisers by making erratic business decisions; I assumed he was going to be at least somewhat sensible. After all, he did have $44bn on the line.
