[That_Dude]

I trust he's done his due diligence. But to me seems like a waste of $ there is nothing unique about twitter, and no barrier to entry for any competitor. I would have thought n alternative could have been created from the ground up for Les than 51 billion

[Gym-Rat]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[robcguns]

That asshole just wants to control what people say. Fuck him.

Ask Trump about truth social. Not so easy.

[FitnessFrenzy]

I would call it a bad investment...

He would spend around 20% of his fortune on shitty Twitter, which can be worthless when people find a new trendy social media platform to post at.

[MAXX]

Not sure its  good idea. I think he wants more free speech plattform but twatter has become a liberal/left plattform. So when the liberal base leaves because not being able to cope with free speech it will die off. Common sense and truth is abnormality and gets shunned by society today. The world at large is not able to cope with truth and reality.

Maybe Elon should buy Getbig instead?

Not even Joon had enough money to do that.

Social Media crying platforms are libturd dominant.
Most Pubtardz are working, raising families, and being biologists, and knowing what a man or woman is.
Libturdz are a confused bunch, who cry and attack and act tough behind a screen.

They are much more social-media dominant, while failing miserably at everything else...

It would have happened by now.

Many have tried.

Its a pump n dump scheme

LOL!!!

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I notice that anything that Elon buys goes up in value almost immediately, just because he buys it.

So imagine this scenario: he buys Twitter, it doubles in value immediately, then he says he's selling 49% of it, to keep a majority share.

He would effectively end up buying half of Twitter for free under that scheme. 

All the power to him if he can get away with that - that type of gamesmanship isn't without risk, and if he can do it well, good for him.

yes, see also: dogecoin or the other crypto he pushes

Musk is a charlatan grifter but he's the best marketer since Steve Jobs .. Maybe better than Jobs

If this deal goes through, there will be a lot of blue haired "fact" checkers likely looking for new companies, if anyone's hiring.

I'd have to agree with that - and those crypto examples are exactly the ones I was thinking about. I started noticing a pattern, and I am now almost certain he is doing this on purpose. I also just noticed that Elon's net worth is $273 billion, which currently ranks him as the #1 richest person in the world. 

When did that happen? I didn't even know anyone was that close to $300 billion already.

Of course, these are just the people who are known - the Rothschild family was said to either have a net wealth of $1 billion by 1850, or control $1 billion in total banking assets at that time.

I think that the Forbes list is a bit of a sham though. Take Muammar Gaddafi, for example - his net wealth was at least $200 billion, and that was just among the assets that the global community uncovered by the time he died. There could have been much more.

Who owns Iran's $16 trillion in oil wealth? The Supreme Leader? I would assume someone in his position is the truly richest person in the world - or a Jewish banking oligarch.

[Grape Ape]

Musk's motivator in this is not money.

He doesn't need that, and it's never really been the goal.

He wants to poke the bear and increase status.

He’s not buying the tech. He’s buying the user base.

[wes]

Fuck Twitter and fuck Elon..................th e rich kunt.

[Never1AShow]

It's a no lose situation.  He knows the forces of Globalism, including China, will outbid him or make it worth his while to not take over.  They've got trillions and they ain't going to let uncensored thought like Trump's out.

Why compete against your competition when you can buy it.   Not only that, being wealthy doesnt garrantee success.. look at Truth Social.  Twitter is a household name...just needs new leadership


Elon is making a serious power move and i hope he buys it

[robcguns]

Fuck Twitter and fuck Elon..................th e rich kunt.

This and only this.

[Humble Narcissist]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile in Libturdia, Bidenflation still soaring high.

Imagine being one if the braindead zombies who voted for this, LOL.
