13. My personal theory
Mon Oct 2, 2023, 11:36 PM
Oct 2023

Goes a little something like this: He made noise about buying twitter in order to pump up the stock price, and then subsequently dump his shares later when the price went up by an insane amount - the problem was he made a few too many promises and wrote a few checks with his mouth that he couldn't cover with his gluteus maximus, and the courts agreed that he'd made a legit offer. Musk panics, and other folks (Saudia Arabia/Russia) who could see a desperate kind of guy offered to help with the funding, but they were gonna need a little help later on down the road. Elon jumps at the idea because hey, it's not his money they're spending.

...aaannnd Twitter begins the slow spiral to irrelevence.
