An alternative theory all the people who have being really upset about him buying Twitter are now actually cheering for him to be forced to buy it. So he got to shift the sentiment for free :)


There's something really messed up and confusing about all the people complaining about him buying twitter now complaining he's backing out of the deal. Most of the people in these comments are hypocrites.


No. You can think it's bad he will control Twitter and also that it's bad that he thinks he can do whatever he wants and get away with it (like harm all the Twitter shareholders etc)


That's not how hypocrisy works.


It's not hypocritical to complain that:

1) Elon Musk, as owner of Twitter, would prioritize profits over free speech and other concerns.

2) Elon Musk, as a participant in a binding legal agreement, should not be allowed to break it on a whim.
