What makes this worse is he seems to be hunting for a narrative to get himself cozy with bitcoiners again rather than just own up to his pump and dump. It sounds like he's realizing this is what he needs to do but he spent too long saying he's a man of inquiry and a variety of other shit first. It just reeks of inauthenticity which the internet tends to take your head for.
That said I really enjoyed his Saylor series and interview with Lex Fridman.

My personal theory is that BitClout paid him (and others) to tweet.
And Breedlove thought, what could possibly go wrong? It's just one tweet.
Of course, I can't prove it, so...

Unless he's publicly denied this, you're probably right. I don't think he'd outright lie but this whole fiasco makes me think he might lie by omission.

i got the sense he was really genuinely sorry for his actions. but im an empathetic guy. i thought it was pretty big of him to come out like this to apologize in public

I also think that he's genuinely sorry, but I feel like there's more to this story. Something doesn't add up.

ya i think so too, coinbase buying into the project who is also going to put it on there platform later at some point is likely what got him to get his tokens.

I think he's genuinely sorry too and it's nice to see him own up to it. But it's harder to trust him now.

Saylor series was straight up amazing.
I genuinely wonder how it's possible he needed the pump and dump for someone who's been in bitcoin as long as him. Maybe he lost his keys, got too far into trading, or made some really bad investments...
This whole saga was pretty fascinating to watch, though I admit I was on the side of finding his rapid excommunication a bit on the harsh/extreme side.

Everyone is trying to maximize cashflow even if they have a big bag. It's hard watching that balance wind down and I don't imagine his youtube channel/blog is generating much revenue.
Where he mostly stepped out of line with Bitcoiners was his response. It smacked of inauthenticity.

I have to say I enjoyed the saylor series more because saylor did most of the talking. Otherwise I just don't think I have the attention span for his wordy deep philosophical way of talking... couldn't make it through the Fridman podcast.
It's sad / crazy how much more lucrative the low attention span, moon-boy youtube channels are.

I agree. He talks kind of slow, almost like he's reading from a script. Speeding him up to 1.5-2x helps. He meandered less than usual on Lex's podcast too.
