I'm not really a conspiracy guy, but it could be a 4d chess move. He can get publicity whenever he wants it, how he wants it. Twitter is the #1 platform for news, and political ideologies to express themselves. If he levels that, it throws a huge wrench since there's really no 'backup'. Everyone has put so much into tweeting on twitter, now that it could go belly up, how does an entire network pick a good replacement? Doesn't even look like they can because of all the polarization. If he had some evil designs, tanking Twitter could be worth losing 45 billion dollars if it gives him more power to do whatever he wants to do. Not saying he is, I'm not an Elon fan, but even I don't think he's this stupid (he's not donald trump) - but I guess he could be - if he isn't doing this on purpose he'd have to be.
