    I’m not sure why people think he wanted to buy Twitter at all.

    His goal was to pump & dump Twitter stock until he was forced into buying it for ~4 times it’s actual value.

      People are quick to forget that part of the situation, but I think you’re both right. There was the initial decision to buy which he didn’t want to do until the alternative was worse for him, then there was his management of the company afterward. I think once the initial sale’s decision was made for him, he has been trying to destroy Twitter entirely for the left.

        he has been trying to destroy Twitter entirely for the left.

        Which only shows that he doesn’t understand the progressive mindset at all.

          I meant “for the left” as in destroy Twitter so the left doesn’t want to use it, not destroy it at the behest of the left.
