My point is he can pay more because he believes he's going to make much more in the future. There is a downturn but most people suffer downturns through life and hold through them. It's just childish to back out now but I would expect that from him.

His views really don't matter. Nothing happened to Facebook and nothing will. People will just continue fighting (tweeting).

I see you point, but being childish in backing out may not mean much if you feel you're overpaying $14bn, or if not him his funding partners. People have a much stronger emotional response to losing something than gaining something.

But really who knows. Maybe he realised he had too much on his plate, or any number of things.
