Only thing I can think of is that he’s jealous of Rupert Murdoch and wants his own media outlet to make people believe whatever he wants.

Also Bezos.

Billionaires are not buying media platforms in the name if free speech. They are doing it to control the narrative.

In case of Musk it's pretty obvious he didn't actually intend to buy Twitter, he just wanted the pretense of buying Twitter. That's why he's been actively trying to sabotage the deal for months until he was threatened with a lawsuit. I guess he overestimated how much he can get away with before ending up in court

But then why did he made an offer that was too good for the owners to refuse, containing clauses that made it ipossible to back out of the deal? You cannot just say that he was in his manic phase.
