Not really the point here. If you spent tens of billions purchasing Twitter you presumably don’t want the world to be without it. You have a very active interest in making it a success.

Unless you're so beyond caring and vindictive that you're willing to do that just to screw over the shareholders who forced you to buy the company.

Screwing them over how, exactly? As far as I can tell most of the shareholders got cashed out at a valuation way above market. I'd love to be similarly "screwed over" given the opportunity.

Then that’s a sign Musk has absolutely lost it. Writing off tens of billions for petty revenge is insane.

(also the shareholders just cashed out, they don’t care)

From the buyer’s perspective the only result that matters is the profit.
