It's a bit too late for that and it is not enough. The time for such a bid like this was when Sam was was ousted out of OpenAI and in complete state of chaos. Investors already put their money in at around $157B+ and are not willing to take a price cut down to less than $100BN. Unless that is the amount that Sam wants to walk away with, but its isn't even going to be no where near close to enough.

Considering musks history, its also possible he doesn't actually want the deal and is doing it for other reasons.

While I think the purchase of Twitter was ultimately in his favor, he definitely had buyers remorse back then.
