I predicted back in April that Elon Musk would not be allowed to both own and control Twitter. The rich and the powerful will not allow for this to happen. Elon Musk may be rich in nominal terms, but he's but a pawn in a much bigger game. He's in no position to set the rues.
From the way things have turned out, it appears that I was right in my view of things. There is an anonymous group of people who pull the strings of control. These people are hardly ever mentioned, and are generally viewed as minor figures. But looks deceive. The people most of us think of as rich and powerful are but front figures. It's the shadowy figures in the background who wield real power.
Elon Musk moved out of line. He's been revolting against the agenda. He's been a loose canon on deck for some time, and is now targeted for punishment. With Twitter now stained and damaged by Musk, he's been told to buy it for the price he offered. He will also be prevented from wielding any real power over the company once it's transferred to him.
My prediction was that Elon Musk would either fail to buy or fail to rule. As it turns out, the people in charge have decided to hand him the ultimate punishment: He will be forced to buy and fail to rule.
