I could be remembering wrong but Twitter was only worth $15B at best, and Elon bought it for $44B because he's that smart.
I genuinely think he's just a pawn in a bigger game in which some powers wanted twitter gone.
Why gone? I understood that the Saudi government just wanted to de-anonymize it (i.e be informed about the authors of any critical tweets).
Like that guy who has been condemned to death for a critical tweet to his... 8 followers.
I bet that's happening right now.
