The public got more information about Musk's plans for the social network after the release of two slideshow presentations and a bunch of Musk texts.
The texts show Musk and a lot of his contacts talking about everything from the internet to Oprah. It is difficult to tell if that is a joke or a real thing with Musk. They are a chronicle of the deal's downfall.
It shouldn't have been a company.
If you are interested, you can check them out here. They are divided into two parts, a giddy feeding frenzy around Musk and a lengthy vent session as the acquisition went sour.
The first section begins about a month before Musk makes his offer to buy the company. A thread complaining about a lack of free speech on the social networking site was reached out to in March of 2022. There is a need for a new platform It can't be a business. This is what caused me to leave.

When Musk buys a large share in the company, Dorsey is very supportive. I have wanted it for a while. He was very emotional when he heard that Musk was going to be appointed. Parag is an incredible engineer, and he is excited about Musk meeting him.
One of the main themes of the text message is Musk's impatience with the new one as the old CEO tried to bring the two companies together. The two men are on the same wavelength. The current executive and former nuts-and-bolts engineer at the company is about to take a big risk.
I would love to be the CEO ofTwitter.
This isn't an immediate problem. Musk brags about his expertise in "heavy duty software" in an early conversation after his investment in the social networking site. Agrawal tries to do a little coder-to-coder bonding: "I used to be CTO and have been in our codebase for a long time."
Two days later, he asked Musk to stop. It's my responsibility to tell you that it's not helping me makeTwitter better in the current context. We aren't there right now and I want the company to get to a place where we are more resilient and not distracted. Two minutes later, Musk declared joining the board to be a waste of time and said he would take his account private. He is texting Kimbal about starting a paid social network.
He told the board chair that talking with Parag wouldn't fix the site. astic action needs to be taken
In an ongoing C-plot that is by far the most entertaining part of these text messages, Calacanis offers Musk a constant stream of thirsty suggestions that include raising his offer price, moving Twitter's headquarters to Texas, and bringing Mr.Beast to the company. Calacanis is riding-or-die for Musk and will jump on a grenade for him.
"Parag is moving too slowly and trying to please people who won't be happy no matter what he does."
"I won't let this fail and will do whatever it takes to get the deal done." He pledges that it is too important to humanity. Back in the B-plot again, Musk is texting Boring Company CEO Steve Davis about a version of Twitter where users pay in Dogecoin, and he concludes that it isn't possible to use a block chain. He told Musk that he was great at getting things done when tasked with specific direction.
Musk doesn't like that paragliding is moving too slowly and trying to please people who won't be happy. "At least it became clear that you can't work together." The last message we get from Musk is that he is too busy with his company to return to the micro-blogging site.
While Musk is excited about buyingTwitter, this all happens. The section ends with Steve Jurvetson suggesting that Musk hire his son to run operations. In May, he complains to Michael Grimes about having asked no good questions and had no good comments at a meeting before asking to slow the deal down in case of World War III.
There was a lot of public opposition to the acquisition between Musk and Agrawal. Based on the string of text messages, it is clear that things are not going well with Agrawal and that Musk is starting to doubt whether or not this is a good idea.
