“I woke up this morning to read all the pwnage, but lots of people are already posting about other stuff that has nothing to do with me. I literally carried a kitchen sink into a tech office. It was God-tier. People wouldn’t just move on from something like that,” Musk confirmed, noting that time zones could have a lot to do with it. “I’ll buy it again later tonight, when more people are likely to see it. They’re going to be so owned. Just wait. You’ll see.” :data-laughing:

I'm pretty sure the people running the company didn't want to sell it (though probably for selfish reasons rather than stopping the nazi circlejerk). When Musk offered to buy it the first thing they tried was some "poison pill" strategy meant for resisting hostile takeovers. That didn't succeed and they were basically obligated to accept the offer because that was in the best interest of the shareholders.
On April 17, [the chairman of Twitter's board of directors] was urged by Twitter's largest institutional shareholders to "seriously consider" the offer.
