Hadn't it already massively dropped in value before the purchase was finalized, and that's why he wanted to back out? How is everybody overlooking that?

Twitter was never worth anywhere close to the 40 billion he publicly announced he'd pay for it whether or not a "significant" drop before purchase occurred.
