    It just baffles me why he would buy Twitter in the first place and even more so why he paid what he did for it. PayPal -> Tesla -> SpaceX -> Twitter. How does that make any sense in any way. So there’s that from the start, but then why is he firing a torpedo into it. Was his secret plan to bulldoze Twitter from the start? That’s a lot to pay for revenge.

      The short of it:

      He made an offhand comment about buying twitter as a sort of “joke” but was then forced to go through with it thanks to the legal ramifications of said joke.
