This doesn't really change your point at all, but I remember reading the tech news surrounding the Twitter sale to Musk as it was happening. If memory serves, Musk literally made the $420/share purchase offer as a joke, a joke that several lawsuits were filed to decide it was a serious and legally binding offer.

He memed his way into owning Twitter against his will, and then burned down everything to assuage his ego. But because he's a goddamn billionaire there are literally no repercussions.
