The man is obviously mad. But obviously also wants Twitter to succeed (I think!).

Iām a bit wary of what a āsuccessful twitterā looks like to him.

I suspect this is (partly) because of the class action against him
āI would need to reconsider my position as shareholder,ā says Musk if his offer is not accepted.

I feel the way Twitter is being run is quite poor though, throwing stuff such as Spaces and Communities at the wall and seeing what sticks, Blue which has LITERALLY zero value.
Anyone who can help build a better Twitter gets my vote; first thing Iād do is an ad free option and ditch the rather poorly built Community features.

Best thing that could happen, current twitter management have put the site down the wrong path in the last 6-7 years and a outsider to general large tech companies in similar form is badly needed.
To run somthing like twitter you need to be mad at times.

If he gets his way Iāll probably end up ditching Twitter. His idea of Twitter probably involves Trump and I donāt need that in my life.

Well I mostly enjoyed my eleven and a bit years on the bird themed hellsite, but it does feel like it is coming to a bit of a conclusion. Weāll always have the wild night of NicciLeaks and the wild morning of the whole pigās head thing and everything in between

āsupporting [the] calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of usersā

He just acts like a spoiled little brat all the time.
Twitter told him that.
Twitter worked it out, to show the value of their company to facilitate the sale. Musk doesnāt believe it (and no one does tbf), and so heās asked them to prove how/why itās that low.

Hopefully he now rage quits the whole proposal and leaves Twitter alone.

People I trust suggest that Muskās antics have so destabilised the company that thereās no āgoodā alternative, and that if he rage quits the takeover the company stock price will tank, staff will flee for greener pastures (and thereās a hiring freeze), and the company will go down in flames anyway 
My own thought is that Twitter should never have gone public in the first place because they never had a clear view of how to monetise the service, which is something pretty essential for a company with demanding stockholders. Cāest la vie.

Yeah itās not a great outlook either way. But itās probably better to go down swinging then to become some 4chan lite.
I like to believe itās recoverable if Elon steps away as the customer base will remain broadly the same as now.
I think itāll all go through. Twitter will have more than 5% spam bots.
Reduced offer from musk. Etc
