Are you trying to tell me that ethics has nothing to do with business? That ethics has nothing to say about buying a large asset and making it less valuable? That ethics has nothing to say about starting arguments online?

You must live in an ivory tower.  Ethics and morals are typically not of great concern in the corporate business world.  Ditto politics and professional sports.  I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it's the reality of the time we're living in.  

Ethics are irrelevant to diminishing value, UNLESS the buyer (Musk) intentionally devalued the asset (Twitter), in which case, he could potentially have both civil and criminal exposure.  Are you suggesting that was his intent?  If so, he failed.  Twitter stock is worth more today than the day he bought the company.  Any other loss in stock value through management decisions (should such occur) is still not a matter of ethics, regardless of how poor those decisions might be.

What in the world does ethics have to do with starting arguments online?  If I said, "It gets dark at night.", you would argue about it.  Does that bring your ethics into question?
