In the ted interview he did recently he said he had a plan B. And that plan was clearly to create a new social media, if you watch the interview you will notice. I honestly don't think he was trying to pull anything. If you see a product that seems made of real gold and then when you ask the seller to prove it's gold, they go round and round not actually answering your question, why would you buy it? Better to put that money into another product. It's common sense, people should stop being so cynical. It's a distorted and sad world that one. As Elon said once "I prefer to be optimistic and wrong rather than pessimistic and right".

Elon says a lot of things that don't pan out. Unlike a TED interview, buying Twitter was made into a legal obligation.
Elon has a bad time prediction engine for predicting how much time something will take his companies to achieve. But please let me know of something that he said that turned out to be a lie or actually impossible by the laws of physics. Because I never heard him say anything like that. And he will pay whatever tens of billions he has to pay. He really doesn't care about money.
