This isn’t a business to him, it doesn’t need to be, its monetary value is insignificant to him, it was always about having control of an established platform, and feeding its audience his propaganda.
It’s a toy to him. A very expensive one.
Like I said, its monetary value is of no consequence to him, even if he loses it tomorrow he’ll still be one of the richest people on earth by a long way. And it’s certainly more than a toy to him, and while he might often act like a petulant manchild, don’t think for a second that he doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing (not only with twitter, but with embedding his interests in defence and space agencies for example, without having to personally know anything about running or operating in those industries either).
Musk buying Twatter is equivalent to the 18th century robber barons buying newspapers to control what they published
And it’s nothing out of the ordinary either, all main stream media is owned by other billionaires doing exactly the same, only they’re better at or at least more invested in keeping the mask on.
let’s not act like he’s playing 5d chess. he was forced to buy it because he’s a dumbass, and he’s been desperate to monetize it since.
Was it though, since he’s got exactly what he wants (and for what to him is a literal pittance)?
I hate him as much as the next person, but the idea that he’s just coincidentally fumbling perfectly through every step of the fascism playbook is naive at best, and laughable either way.
