the reason why musk bought Twitter

Personally, I think he stumbled into this one. I think he bought Twitter because

He likes shitposting
He was mostly pumping and dumping the stock, as he's done several times before
He accidentally got himself legally obligated
He was enamored with his idea of the "everything" app that was going to do your banking, shopping, etc.
He wanted to use "x.com" for something.

I influence over elections came well after he owned it, and wasn't his idea. I think that part was fed to him. He did have a bit of a warped idea of what "free speech" was, but someone helped him either warp it more or ignore it to fit the election narratives needed.

Maybe, but in any case, he now has the ultimate tool for shitposting with Grok.
