> Majority of people here on HN were also convinced he will try to make Twitter better.

I mean. I still think he is trying to do that. Is he succeeding? I don’t think so.

If it all hits the ground and twitter is no more a going concern will he claim that was his plan all along? Probably. Doesn’t mean it is true.

Even on the day he offered to buy twitter he was offering more money than the stock was worth. That is only rational if you believe you have a plan to run it better.

According to reports he is spending a lot of his time managing twitter in quite a hands-on way. Do you think he is not trying to make it better in his own mind?

I think it's a case of the gambler having enough money to buy the casino.
