I expect Matt Levine’s take will amount to some version of this; Elon Musk uses Twitter to make a lot of money via his various market manipulations, one risk to that is Twitter doing something to make those market manipulations harder, so a way of mitigating those risks is to buy as much of Twitter as possible to get as much of a say as possible, in an effort to prevent that from happening.
Surely Elon has made $3bn off of Tweets by now, it makes perfect sense for him to spend some of that as a way of protecting future additional earnings, both for him and the various companies he runs that also make money off of Elon’s tweets.
