It's an ego thing. he wanted to be cool. Like Myspace tom.

keep in mind that even at what he paid for it, it's still not a loss he's going to really feel. It's the difference between his grandkids having their own G280 vs them having their own G800 gulfstream.

He wanted to pretend to be interested long enough to read Amber Heards DMs and then back out. He didn’t count on Twitter wanting to sell.
