Since his acquisition shenanigans started, I felt like that was like a spoiled billionaire kid who didn't get the reverence he thought he deserved from a waiter, then proceeded to buy the restauran chain just to close it.

Also, “this restaurant serves people who like food I don’t like. I’ll buy it and then they must order what I prefer from now on”

Musk is so addicted to Twitter (or whatever they end up calling it) that he bought it to ensure he would never be banned. So it's like he bought the restaurant, fired the staff, put shit on the menu, and none of it matters to him because he still gets to sit at his favorite table and no one can tell him to leave.
