Is it about the data that he could get? Will he use it for something like his new inventions, or is he planning to use it for something like space exploration or another business that he can profit from?I do agree that the amount was huge just for things like promoting Doge (but I think this is one of his many reasons why). He has something in my mind that he is the only one that can pull off. I can only imagine the data or advertisements he could use. Whatever the reason, I am hopeful that we will know what what he truly desires from Twitter rather than other platforms.
I am not sure if he does, but I know that Tesla is a data company is not a myth, it is a reality. Every single driver of Tesla basically sends back data of the roads to Tesla, which they use to create a roadmap basically, and then they use it to make the cars better self-driving cars with that data.
So, that means Tesla knows how to use data, and that means Elon could use the same people to do something with Twitter as well. He is capable and he has done it before, so giving him this much data would result with something for sure. Will it be a good thing? Will it be a bad thing? How will he use it? I do not know, but I know that he would use that instantly.
