Musk didn't buy Twitter to control the conversation, he bought it because his ego was too massive to just shut the fuck up for a minute and admit it was a stupid idea.
He tried to pull out after he came to the same realization literally everyone had been shouting at him for months but was legally in too deep.
He wanted to pretend to be interested long enough to read Amber Heards DMs and then back out. He didn’t count on Twitter wanting to sell.
I like the theory that he only wanted a reason to sell a large amount of Tesla shares without causing a panic sell.
