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.
Twitter is not a website.

it’s not easy starting a social platform. This is why Mush wanted it. He thought the value was there until he looked under the covers and found that Twitter didn’t represent their user base truthfully.
