IMO he was half joking and found himself in a horrible position between a bad decision and a crashing equity market, unable to back out, now trying to stay afloat and failing. Something needs to die. I hope it's only twitter.

Wasn’t it one of his BS polls to buy Twtr or not, that he got committed to buying it! Says lot about decision making by twtr polls.

Becky Quick was in a meeting with him and said, she questioned his decision until she heard him elaborating his plans. She said he put a lot more thoughts into it than people give him credit for.

(Having said that, I do think he didn’t like the price tag and couldn’t back out of the deal)

I wonder the same thing. He seems to have acted on a whim while talking with his friends. Got carried away with $40B. Doesn’t seem to be his finest hour
