I don't think there's any 4D chess going on here with Twitter. He signed the deal when the market was way up. He was probably riding high and overconfident on his wealth. The market corrected, his wealth dropped and he tried damn hard to get out of the deal. Turns out the deal was hard to get out of so he's trying to make the best of it. I think he's earnestly trying to make Twitter successful and profitable. This is just his best effort.
