Yeah he spends 9 billion to be petty against a random kid with a twitter account that just republished public information. Again, that's literally an insane thing to believe. If you can't see how insane that is I can't help you.
You keep saying "that's insane" as if that's supposed to mean something. "Richest guy on the planet makes a capricious stock investment"... yeah, totally insane lol.
I won't go so far as to call you insane for not being able to imagine an edgy rich guy spending a lot of money for petty reasons, but I'll instead say that your refusal to even accept the idea as a possibility is a bit naive.
You really think getting rid of a twitter bot is that important? Seriously? Like wtf. I just can't even imagine how anybody can even consider that.
Musk clearly has much better other reason that make about 1000% more sense. He has been one of the biggest twitter accounts for a long time. He clearly cares about speech (whatever you may think about it) and he talks about that often in talks to governments around the world and so on. In your version that is all some elaborate front in order to take down some twitter bot?
If you think any non-insane person would spend 9 billion to ban a twitter account that just publishes public information I really don't know what to say anymore. Even if that bot was removed, anybody else could set up the same thing again.
Whatever you my think of Musk and calling 'edgy' or 'petty' or whatever, what you suggest is literally a 100% totally crazy thing to do. No human that is not insane would consider this a logic course of action.
If it was about that and he didn't want to pay the 50k publicly, there are about 1000 possible other ways that could have been achieved other becoming gigantic investor in twitter.
