It doesn’t really matter at this point, because he signed a binding agreement. He’s the one that made that move. Specifically why is just speculation now.
But, hey, we’re all here speculating anyway! My take is:
1) He’s a history of making impulsive decisions without thinking (or caring) about the consequences.
2) It forced Twitter’s hand because they couldn’t act like it was it a non-genuine offer.
3) He’s so rarely held accountable for the consequences of his decisions he knew it didn’t matter because he’s above the law.
