If the goal was just to shut down twitter that could have been accomplished day 1. My theory is he really didn’t think he’d be stuck paying the high price he offered and now his goal is to file for bankruptcy after tanking the company, and to do it he has to look like hes trying to make it work.
Alternatively. He really is this big an idiot. It would be in line with the moron making an offer twitter couldn’t refuse and then being surprised when they accepted
I doubt anyone could pay the man enough to blow 40 billion to tank a website. The moment you break something, the users will find a replacement and go there. This purchase was 100% ego. It changed no minds about Elon. His fanboys will still call this genius, and those who already knew he was a manchild are not suddenly thinking this was a mature, well-thought-out plan.
Either he’s a raving idiot or someone was paying him to destroy Twitter. Or both.

No one is paying him. He is just a dumbass with money.

We seem to forget this whole “Imma buy Twitter” was, in part, because Twitter refused to disable the account of the kid that was tracking his jet
Who is still tracking his jet on mastodon and threads. I love it.
The kid that was reposting public flight tracking data of his jet. He’s so fucking petty.
Didn’t he get some Saudi funding for the purchase of twitter? Not the entire amount but a portion?
