Actually, Musk didn't want to pay anything for Twitter, but was willing to pay $44 billion to avoid the discovery process.
Excellent point, lest anyone forget that he was really just running his mouth and got too far in before the mania dropped.
I don’t think it was even that. He was so 100% going to lose the fight to not buy Twitter that even for someone with his resources it wasn’t worth fighting. He made a weak attempt to embarrass Twitter into backing out due to public opinion, but didn’t really have any options after that. He just fucked up that magnificently with the initial contract.
