he offered to buy twitter for a joke, and he actually did buy twitter because a court forced him to. not because this was some grand plan to accomplish anything - he literally spent months in court arguing that he shouldn't have to buy twitter, and he lost. that's the only reason he owns twitter now.
Yeah, he owns it because he's a dumbass and he's running it into the ground like a dumbass
You cannot make a "joke" offer file it with the SEC and expect to get out of it.
the court didn't force him, he could have paid a penalty that was much lower than his current losses.
