View submission: Liverpool owners won’t sell club to ‘interested’ Elon Musk
I think you're giving his strategy too much credit. He got sued into buying twitter by the board of twitter after he pretending he wanted to buy it before pulling out of the deal.

Literally what happened but it's apparently a grand master plan

I'm still firmly believe that the reason he bought it is because he got mad that people called him cringe on it, went "NUH-UH I'm not cringe" and threw a billionaire hissy fit.

Whatever the initial reasoning, he's wielded the power very effectively to his own benefit and to the detriment of society at large. Dunking on him for being forced to buy it feels like a pretty hollow dig right now considering we're the ones who are suffering the consequences of it.

could just be an act so it looks like a reluctant decision instead of a calculated move. you think if he really didn't want to, he couldn't find a way to weasel out of it with minimum damage?

It’s not his strategy. Elon is just a puppet willing to play this character for personal gain.
