First, Twitter is has huge and oversized importance. It’s vey big in both the tech and journalism worlds. There’s a reason celebrities are on it and tweets show up on the news and in articles. Second, it’s Musk. He’s famous, a celebrity (of sorts), and VERY VERY rich. Not only does he have haters, people seem to love watching the successful fail. “I knew it. He’s not so great. I could have done better.” And finally, it’s just 100% nuts. This is not how the business world works. He over bid on a company as a joke (?) after getting high (?) with the price being a weed joke. Then he tried to back out and got sued. Then at almost literally the last moment he went through with it and has almost DESTROYED the company in a week. It’s a perfect storm of WTF-hate-drama about a world famous company and a publicity hound.
