    Exactly.

    He thought Twitter was owned by leftwing “libtards” that would never in a million years sell to him. It was just puffing smoke trying to manipulate stocks and prove a point about the “evil liberalism” of twitter.

    But that wasnt true.

    Twitter was run by business people, as a business, and when his insane offer came in to buy it, they leapt at the chance.

    and when they did that, he got scared and tried to back out… until he was legally forced to make good on his offer.

    and unlike spacex, where they created an insulating crumplezone of people around Musk for the express purpose of ignoring 99% of his requests and demands, Twitter is run by him bare metal. and he cant stand that its collapsing around him, and that its his fault, and that its shattering the image of the brilliant self made business genius that he had of himself in his head.
