It sounds like you never saw Django. The stated goal of the heros was to buy a slave from his owner to use for brutal boxing matches, but what they really wanted to buy was the freedom of Django's wife. The purchase of the boxing slave was a ruse because there was no way the slaver would have even met with the heros if they just asked to buy the wife on her own. My original comment was just to imagine if Elon Musk was running the same scam as in the movie when he bought Twitter. I'm not saying he did the scam, just that it would be fun if he did. By way of support for my silly imagination: there was a bit of theatrics with the purchase and the law suit. And it's not impossible to imagine that he may have lied about the freedom of speech reason.
