So he didn't buy it for the brand. (He's killing the brand.)

He didn't buy it for the employees. (He fired all the employees.)

He didn't buy it for the real estate. (He doesn't pay his rent.)

He didn't buy it for the userbase. (He has driven so, so many away with his chicanery.)

So what the living fuck did he spend $44 billion for anyway? Because he's a giant fucking piss baby? You got me, I don't understand this fucking idiot at all.

I'm almost certain he didn't want it at all; that it was a giant publicity stunt but he ran into a contract he couldn't default on or back away from.

It wasn't even that. Just a dumb spur of the moment decision because he thinks he can just do anything.
