I will say this; I've been really disappointed with the journalism coming out about this - especially TechCrunch. There was an article yesterday [1] that read like a high-schooler writing about their favourite popstar getting dumped.
Twitter is a cesspool of bots, ads & angry slacktivists - simply too much noise to be usable (I left months ago). IMO - Musk could actually be a really good thing for it, I've definitely thought about opening an account again.
How could he be a good thing for it, when he's been completely unserious about it from the beginning? Remember he wanted to get out of the deal he signed off, and he said everything and its opposite about twitter. Nobody knows his plans for twitter not because he's kept them secret, but because he doesn't have any. This is a pure vanity project for him, and completely out of his area of expertise.
And as a twitterer, he's been an active part of the low-information cesspool.

Because the value dropped precipitously (along with everything else in the market). Trying to back out under whatever guise possible is pretty expected.
