Because he wouldn't have been able to gain any publicity whatsoever. The government and big tech collude to have a monopoly over the media and control all information. You're lucky if they even let you exist. Just look at how much more successful reddit still is than all its much superior alternatives.

He could have set up a rack of servers in a closet at Tesla, spent a few k recreating twitter and ANNOUNCED IT ON THE JOE ROGAN SHOW.

I know exactly why he went the much more expensive route of buying twitter.

I could tell the Jewish people how to easily drive the muslims out of Palestine.

They would run away screaming.

It is vlad that drove them out of Europe.

This time is easier, no violence required.
