Who did he say that to? When? He botched the offer so badly that he bought Twitter well over the market price and is down something like $30B, and nobody is losing that kind of money in a lawsuit unless they signed a very good contract (he hasn’t been sued that badly for overstating FSD for years, for example). I think he bought it because he was addicted and could, similar to how a rich alcoholic could buy their favorite bar. I don’t think there was a nuanced long-term plan rather than an impulse mood to increase his stature and remove what he saw as rules which prevented his friends from saying what they wanted.
