Have you considered that Elon Musk is a dumbass rather than a super genius?
The guy didn't plan on buying twitter. He was made to after he tried gaming the system and fucked it up.

Incredibly inflated ego and self-image combined with poor emotional maturity and self-control after a life of entitlement. He said it to piss people off and then came back to eat shit, but unfortunately is also so rich he can throw his money away and have it barely matter.
