    I don’t think anyone told him he couldn’t buy it.

    The board of Twitter is who sued to force the sale, since musk had kicked himself in.

    That doesn’t mean his offer and subsequent behavior with the company isn’t market manipulation to be investigated, which is being done by the government.

    Both things can be true. He stupidly kicked himself into a deal he was forced to complete, and his behavior since has indicated that he’s just gaming the market since he had to complete the deal.
