How much has he lost in his stake of Twitter as its share price decreases? Why would he use Twitter as cover when he could use much better alternatives? Why would he waive normal due diligence that is customary if it was a fancy plan to exit Twitter from the beginning?
I don't think they apply to someone who tweeted "considering to take my company private at $X a share; funding secured" when funding definitely wasn't secured.
The story where he made an(other) impulsive decision (buy Twitter!) and then realised some potential benefit as a side effect (liquidate overpriced stock without raising eyebrows) sounds plausible.
In the end, Elefino [1]. Musk gonna musk, I guess.
well then Musk's plan is "a couple sandwiches short of a pinic basket"[1], which leads me to believe it's not a master conspiracy plan and he's just winging it.
