I think that Elon Musk has kind of "jump the shark". He seemed to used to have quite a bit of respect for his business thinking and "out of the box" thinking.
But to my unsophisticated mind, he seems to have lost that respect. He is Starting to seem like a "caricature ".

That's because Musk has verged into having opinions that go against the pop cultural grain. The lack of respect you feel, is entirely due to the disrespectful messaging you're being fed, by the cultural forces who feel threatened by Musk. You might want to reflect on what you know about Musk, and how you know it. My guess is that you couldn't name a single specific thing Mr Musk believes, which you would find worthy of disrespect.
The reason the messaging has become disrespectful, is because Mr Musk is demonstrably not an indoctrinated left-leaning culture soldier, and as such is unreliable in his political and cultural opinions. This scares the leftist establishment, so they pull the levers to make the masses feel about Musk as they would like the masses to feel about Musk.

Musk is probably just helping the GOP in the midterms.

Mr. Musk also appears unlikely to pay the golden parachutes that the fired top executives of Twitter were set to receive. Under the merger agreement, those executives — including Parag Agrawal, the chief executive — had been set to receive compensation of $20 million to $60 million if they were fired. But Mr. Musk terminated the executives “for cause,” meaning he did it because he alleged he had justification, which may void that agreement, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
Those executives, who also include the former chief financial officer Ned Segal, the former general counsel Sean Edgett, and the former top policy and legal executive Vijaya Gadde, are deliberating their next steps, one person said.
Mr. Musk may also be testing Twitter’s engineers. He and his team have assigned some of them projects to complete, three people with knowledge of the matter said. One project involved changes to Twitter’s login screen, they said. Some engineers worked late into the night on Friday to complete the assignments, they said. -

If Musk is right, the "for cause" argument holds up.

Yup. When you deceive the courts or FEC ahead of sale of the company, yeah, that's cause.
Meanwhile...

He's having fun, isn't he?
Let's hope he makes a little money while he's at it...

@Jolly remember all the "It's a private platform, they can do what they want" comments? Remember "If you don't like it, build your own platform."
Well, rather than going through all that BS, he just bought it. He dismissed the board and he wholly owns it with no accountability.
