>he wanted to completely rework Twitter.

Read the texts released in the court documents. There was no "master plan" to "rework Twitter". Elon was angry that he was going to get denied the board seat, so he went from zero-to-I'll just buy Twitter in, literally, less than an hour (according to the timestamps).

Then there was lots of babble about a web3 blockchain based social network and payment platform that sounds absolutely terrible and hair-brained.
