Newly public text messages offer insight into Elon Musk's decision to acquire Twitter.

A series of text exchanges were released on Thursday as part of legal proceedings over Twitter's lawsuit against Musk for ending his merger agreement, revealing Musk's discussions with an assortment of public figures about his April decision to acquire Twitter.

"We should allow it precisely bc we hate it," Gracias texted."that is the ping of the American constitution." Musk immediately agreed, noting that"free speech matters most when it's someone you hate spouting what you think is bullshit." Musk's tweets criticizing Twitter were also a source of tension. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal slammed Musk on April 9 after the billionaire tweeted a poll asking,"Is Twitter dying?"

Musk's initial offer to acquire Twitter on April 25 was praised by several friends, including investor Jason Calacanis and Dorsey. “Hell yeah!!” Musk texted Calacanis. “It will take a few months for the deal to complete before I’m actually in control.” Ellison also praised the deal and would later offer a billion dollars to assist in the purchase.
