Elon Musk is someone who bet lots of money on big gambles that paid off. He certainly had a knack for identifying investment opportunities and then for throwing everything at those investments to ensure they paid off.

I think after SpaceX the subsequent fame has gone to his head a bit and we're seeing a very public midlife crisis. He started to enjoy provoking reactions on Twitter, he tries to position himself as an 'alpha male' tech bro, he would always be seen with celebrities at Hollywood shows and I believe that this Twitter acquisition was a stunt that went wrong. He let the notoriety that surrounded his public persona run away from him and ended up making a $40 billion deal that he tried, then failed, to get out of.
