Elon purchased Twitter because he was ordered to, not to protect free speech. He tried to back out after realizing he overvalued the company, leading Twitter to sue. Elon consented to the purchase in order to avoid trial. He then fired those who criticized him. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2022/07/12/twitter-sues-elon-musk-for-trying-to-cancel-acquisition-deal/ https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/10/06/musk-seeks-to-stop-oct-17-trial-date-to-close-twitter-deal-on-original-terms.html https://fortune.com/2022/10/05/elon-musk-twitter-offer-trial-delaware-court-of-chancery-discovery-hearings/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/economy/elon-musk-offers-to-end-legal-fight-pay-44-billion-to-buy-twitter https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Business/timeline-elon-musks-tumultuous-twitter-acquisition-attempt/story?id=86611191 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/15/technology/elon-musk-twitter-fired-criticism.html

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1858907678010909164
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
