Current Events > Why did Elon Musk buy Twitter again?

(+) Yeah! (+)

He doesn't seem to like it. >_>

China made him do it in order for him to have allowance to bring Tesla there. Saudi Arabia wanted him to do it also.

Because he was trying to manipulate the stock market he didn't have any intention of buying it.

However he ended up doing it because he went too hard playing chicken and got roped into it by courts.

Because he's not very smart and stopped listening to the people that let him build an illusion of being intelligent years ago.

He's a moron with more money than intelligence

He got mad that it was a place where people who didn't like him dominated the discourse. He got mad they banned the Babylon Bee for misgendering people.

He tried to play a game of chicken and they called his bluff

He stupidly signed a contract to do it at a joke price and then realized it was actually a legal contract and not like a joke Twitter was "in" on.

To sway a conservative narrative onto society

He's a very impulsive person. He actually tried for some time to back out of the deal to buy it, but found that it wouldn't be possible, at least not without paying a substantial fee.

And wouldn't the fee have been less than actually buying it? So he did it so he actually had something to "gain".

Because he wanted to ban this elonJet person, right?

Because hes a colossal moron.

He mouthed off, seeking approval from 4chan shitbags, as per usual. Took it too far, and was forced to keep his word or face some nasty legal action that could have left him very exposed.

He was bored with his old toys

joke gone too far

All of the above, but also Peter Thiel goaded him into doing it to kill the American and global left's ability to find like-minded communities and organize on Twitter, as well as to bolster the far-right's existing echo chamber there and make it easier to target their enemies, both online and in real life.

40 billion dollar case of e-peen

Musk was sent an article right before purchase that spells out exactly what to do, and has largely followed this path.

It's not about owning twitter, it's about a declaration of war against the Globalist American Empire.

Because someone made fun of him on it

Because someone kept posting his private jet schedule.

That's literally it.

Theoretically it would have, yes. But paying it would probably be seen as a sort of admission of defeat, and if there's another trait to go with his impulsivity it's his pride.

Not exactly. There's a chance he would have lost and forced to go through with it. He decided to concede in court to avoid the discovery process.

Damn we had the same idea beaten by 20 min... I was busy watching YouTube shorts

For his revision of freedom of speech

Originally he was trying to crash it from the outside, and back out. But dum dum fucked up and had to buy the whole thing. Now he's the dog that caught the car, and is screwing everything up with his idiotic ideas on speech and society.
