I think it was just a regular pump and dump like with doge or btc. He was going to buy a stake, get his followers excited, pump the share price and then dump it.
What he didn’t realise is that in the real world, contracts can be enforced.

That's the question; was it greed, narcissism, or a mix of both?
I suspect he wanted to cause problems and pain for Twitter, and that this was the bait used to hook him into ownership at an inflated price. He has flouted so many other laws, regulations, etc, he probably thought he had a good chance at getting away with this type of behaviour in a Delaware court.
