lots of emotionally-charged comments here, which is pretty disappointing. if we look at this dispassionately, perhaps we can come to better conclusions than "elon big poopy head freeze peach bad". for example, one possibility is that Musk never intended to actually buy Twitter because he had reasonable suspicions that the <5% spam/bot figure provided by Twitter was intentionally incorrect (i.e. fraudulent), and he just wanted to get that out in the open and possibly even tank the company's stock as a result, either as a personal vendetta against the platform and company, or because he wants to develop a competitor. or maybe he wants to buy it up after the price falls even further. who knows? but it's more fun and interesting to speculate like this rather than just hurling loaded adjectives like "impetuous", "eccentric", "breathlessly arrogant", "astonishingly careless", and so on and so forth. I get that public opinion on the guy here has largely turned pretty sharply in the past couple years but do we really need to pretend like we're 2016 headline-writers writing about Donald Trump when we discuss him for some reason? that entire schtick is long-since played out.
