I dont know, it doesnt feel like Musk is just about the Money.
I firmly believe he has been brainwashed by right wing nonsense beyond being worried about his money.
Dude has lost more money than any person ever, twitter keeps losing money etc and he doesnt really care.
He is way more focused on spreading racism, misogyny etc, so i dont think this is him playing chess in order to avoid paying taxes.
He just doesnt strike me as smart enough.

He was born rich and raised in apartheid South Africa. This is just the mask finally coming off. This is how he has always been.

His wife leaving him and his kid being transgender is what made it fall off.

He was a fan of Trump, but also believed a number of conspiracy theories.

So I guess his account had to go to hide any evidence that he was a Republican.

Every Day im surprised that the US government tries to get tik tok banned when musks Twitter literally leads to bomb threats and violence.

Ever since Musk took over, Twitter's value has probably plummeted. It would be nice if someone could buy it from him.

Few options are worse than Musk, but for Musk its not about the Money with Twitter i feel.
Didnt he recently sell a lot Tesla Stock to keep Twitter? It feels like the man rather would go Bankrupt than sell Twitter.
Would be nice to test that theory.

I do however wonder if there is a limit for Musk, if there is a point where he would be willing to sell.

I think the current value is somewhere around $19 billion or so. There could be a lot of really rich people out there that could buy it if Musk wanted to sell.
