I think the guy is a dumb bass like everyone else, but wasn't he forced into buying twitter? Correct me if my memory's faulty

He was simply made to follow the law. Then he tried to spin it as that being akin to "being forced". Basically, he signed contracts he didn't understand and probably thought the other side would not follow through.

If that's "being forced" then any transaction where you put in a written, signed order and then if you try to cancel the order, the seller says "no dice, you committed yourself", would mean "you are forced into it".

Thanks for enlightening me, I think the only good thing about this guy is when he acted as Wario on Saturday Night Live

The Lawyers: "Noooo Mr. Musk, don't sign those!"

Elon: "Fuck it man, I'm buying Twitter, yolo"

No one forced him to make the offer.
