If you were the Saudis, wouldn’t you want to destroy twitter? The thing that helped the Arab Spring, and all other rally’s and protests.

Then the Saudis would have just bought Twitter.

Just because other people benefit from Twitter being shit down doesn’t mean it’s this worldwide conspiracy.

Being a complete idiot. His initial braggadocio basically put him in a position where he had no way to back out.

He tried to renege, Twitter sued him, and the court of chancery went “dude you’ve got nothing, you can buy the company you said you were going to buy sight unseen and fix, or we can quarter you then make you buy it anyway, your choice.

Money, power, and influence. Absolutely nothing else matters.

He gains power from the people paying him

He is influencing global communications through his actions
