Isn't this because he doesn't want to pay Google's bill that they already signed a deal with? I hope Twitter implodes and Elon loses millions

I think that is just a happy coincidence for Musk. The park of Twitter hosted on Google is the part dealing with harassment and safety. Removing that means more money to piss away but also amplification of hate speech and trolling. I bet the EU will try to smack Twitter with another fine bigger than the bill for Google because of this.
