Elon is trying to escape the bullshit (mars) and fix what he perceives as an energy/climate problem (whatever, I like the fast Teslas).
But I doubt he is serious about buying Twitter. I think he made the offer knowing full well that it would be blocked. This is a chess move. He just exposed the Twitter board of directors as not acting in the interests of shareholders. That’s the amazing outcome we got this weekend. Elon simply had enough money (in assets) to make this offer credible enough that they had to consider it.
