Shocking... not.

This could be very much expected from the moment on when he said that he would unban Trump's account if he buys Twitter.

Elon Musk got rich because he mastered the art of parting fools from their money, so turning Twitter into an echo chamber for the so-called American conservatives is sure to bring in a lot of money by raising the price of membership which all the fools will gladly pay to live in a world of the so-called free speech. He must have noticed how much money people have donated to Trump's cause in the last several years and wanted a piece of the pie.

Tbf I've heard of this happening to people who haven't interacted with him, so its probably a system error. 
But free speach people didn't like it when Twitter shut down missinformation, so they should have no problem when it's aimed at Elon now.

I'm unsure what his motives may have been coming into this, but I think he doesn't know what he's doing.

Basically as I understand it, he bought it with money he doesn't have that became a debt that Twitter now owes and has to pay by next year.
Twitter does not generate 1B per year, which may be one of the reasons he's trying to charge people for the blue checkmark.

I heard a theory he doesn't have the money because he was supposed to get funding from deals with Russians. Because of the war and sanctions it fell through. So he's posting some pro-Russia bs in a desperate attempt to end the war quickly.

But what the hell, why call this a theory? Someone write an article, make it news and post it on twitter!
