The fact that he says he’s “considering it” means he’s not going to do it.

Otherwise he would have just done it. This is a ploy to have his cake and eat it by issuing empty threats.

Eh, he "considered" buying Twitter and was forced to fulfill his agreement. Maybe we get lucky and it happens again.

Likely he will let it play out as long as possible. But eventually he'll have to. He's made it abundantly clear this far that he doesn't care about the money and complying with these laws wouldn't mean going against the whole reason he bought it in the first place.
