I just assumed that Elon had no actual plans to win this process, but rather use it as a way to first weaken Twitter before launching a competitor. The reason for this is because I don't see how someone can take over a company where, I assume, a large percentage of the core engineers actually want all of the censorship and so on, and have pronouns in their bio and all of that stuff to signal that they are on the opposite side to Musk in a political war. It seems like you would be leading a bunch of people that don't like you.
