Doesn't really make sense to me. Since when has he ever cared about criticism? He had a binding merger agreement. He didn't have to do any 4-d chess to buy twitter. What establishment? What makes you think they were gearing up for a fight? They agreed to sell him Twitter

Initially the Twitter board didn't want him to buy twitter, but he made a big offer and they were forced to take it. He had already "won" by then. If anything all this stuff since has damaged the value of twitter, which he now owns.
