And, why would he offer to buy the company for $44 billion and then ask Twitter to reveal information about their clients. That seems backwards to me. And, now he is being sued by Twitter for breach of contract. Didn't Musk have his lawyers prepare an ironclad contract, so that he couldn't be sued? The whole thing seems strange to me that a so-called business genius is involved in this mess. Just my opinion.
Not all wealthy people are smart. Their success is in who they hire. Elon actually bid higher than the actual valuation. He probably could have picked up “Truth Social” for a steal.
