Elon Musk also tried to use forced arbitration on his (former) Twitter
employees after they sued him for not giving them their severance
payments in a timely manner. But, like Steam, he had to back down when
the sheer number of arbitration claims made the costs skyrocket so it
would have cost more than actually just paying the severance. (Musk is
not the brightest of bulbs).

I don't think Musk is stupid, he just has a colossal ego and is something of a bully.
 I don't think he's stupid as such but instead his over inflated ego and position of power makes he say and do stupid things bordering on the unhinged. Something I read about off the record comments from senior people at Space X is their job is as much to do with building spacecraft as it is to steering Musk away from making any real decisions.
 Then there is the recent temper tantrum he's thrown as he wasn't invited to a tech. summit by the UK government due to comments he made during our riots and subsequently. Think of it as , well I didn't want to go to your party anyway so I'm glad you didn't invite me.

Ya, and his deliberate picking a fight with Brazil.  He really thinks he is untouchable and can do whatever he wants regardless of the laws anywhere.  Free Speech Absolutist, as long as he can control who gets to use the medium used for Free Speech.
