Another way to interpret this series of events is not that Elon entirely caused this, but that media, establishment, the billionaire class, etc etc, all took this purchase as the opportunity to stick the knife in.
If you want to connect the dots this is all happening after he pulled Starlink from Ukraine and demanded more money from the Pentagon. My immediate reaction then was that while this was a logical move for him it probably created a few more enemies in the government and MIC. They all hated him already but they were all more than willing to accommodate the useful village idiot.
But now they see that punishing him through twitter and the media is very useful in the long term, best case scenario he thinks twice about ever standing up against their interests again, worst case scenario he will become American Eike Batista.
