So now Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter.

It wasn’t enough to loudly criticize the platform — on the platform — for not adhering to his personal standards.

It wasn’t enough to secretively buy a 9.2 percent stake in the social media company, becoming its largest individual shareholder. It wasn’t enough to accept an offer to join the company’s board (which provoked huge internal outcry from the company’s employees). It wasn’t even enough of a power trip for him to then reject that offer five days later.

He’s got to own it all!
