Nah. Even that is giving him too much credit. There are better ways to end Twitter without ruining his reputation and undermining his other investments. He could have let that puppet CEO make the announcements and take the heat.

This shitshow is all to boost his own ego.

He’s created a platform which is explicitly designed to only allow and promote things he likes, which only serves to build his confirmation bias. He’s just playing himself and getting more and more extreme as he does it.

All the while being constantly dunked on as well. He could have stayed out of social media and people might still think of him like "real life Tony Stark" but he couldn't help himself. It's interesting to see how even billionaires are not immune to internet brain rot, even with enough money to occupy their mind with anything they want or hire the best therapists in the world.

Considering he was literally forced to sink $44 B into this project because he was fucking around too hard I also think it's very unlikely.
I'd imagine he'd want to recover as much cost as possible

I love that he was forced to buy it. Now he spends all his time trying to tell people he wanted to buy it, and also that he was strongarmed into it. He needs to pick a god damn lane. (But we all know the truth)
