Elon Musk and Twitter

[Dominic]

On our Facebook group we sometimes get posts like:

"I have just booked to stay at The Hotel Du Posh for two weeks in July. Can anybody tell me what it is like?"

I always wonder why they didn't ask the question before they booked.

Recently, Elon Musk, after much grandstanding, made an offer to buy Twitter. In order to do so, according to the following article, he waived rights to due diligance. IE the offer was to buy it "as is".

So what is Elon Musk up to? He is effectively booking a holiday (on a grand scale) without first finding out what the rooms are like. Let's assume he knows this. Which leads to the real question - what is he up to?

1. Trying to lower the price.
2. Trying to destabilise Twitter so he can launch an alternative.
3. Trying to distract people's attention from something else he is doing.
4. Loosing the plot.
5. Something else entirely.

You forgot to mention that: "Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk wrote to his 77.7 million Twitter followers on Monday that he was challenging Russian President Vladimir Putin to single combat over Ukraine. "

I think he wants to manipulate the markets again to make a killing. I also think he would like to have his own private echo chamber in order to feed his ego. These desires may not be compatible.
