Ι don't think he actually wanted to buy it, he just can't walk out of the deal now, apparently, without paying many billions as simple penalty.He just wants to buy it so he can ban people who question his stupid pontifications.
But in the long run it might be far more disastrous for Musk to buy twitter, since he will just drive it to the ground and become more hated by the hundreds of millions of people using it. He already is dealing with far more public scrutiny (individuals) than before. (let alone having to pay 50 billion dollars to buy)
Not that twitter itself is angelic in all of this; they clearly are more interested in becoming mega-rich, than in keeping twitter as something prominent and popular. Still, it was Musk's blunder, they just take advantage of it.
