Maybe, instead of the "Elon is a genius playing 4D chess" speculation, we can simply look at his actions and conclude than no reasonable person would seriously go about buying Twitter the way he did.
Given this and previous behaviour it seems pretty reasonable to assume that Musk was doing it for the lolz and to get attention as "the savior of free speech".
It's useful to note that after he signed the contract the market decided he wasn't serious about it. That's the closest we have to an objective judgement on Musk's intentions.

- encryptluks2 4y agoHe could offer a horse and pay a 200+k settlement for sexual favors to a flight attendant, or pedo project and people would still defend him.

- betwixthewires 4y agoHis character flaws aside, you don't become worth 275 billion dollars by throwing 45 billion away for the lulz. I think it's a safe bet that a man who has an entire top notch law firm working exclusively for him knows a thing or two more about what he's doing than we do. Even if it is a mistake, even if he's trying to back out of something and being disingenuous, it's still almost certain that our online speculation colored by our character sentiment is not what is actually going on here.
