Elon wasted his money
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
If Twitter allowed loud conservative voices the Media wouldn't popularize it like they have been and would focus on their coverage whitelist of preferred social networks. The Media is obviously capable of ignoring dissenting opinion and don't give much coverage to patriots.win, gab, voat, telegram, etc. They focus on reddit, twitter, facebook, and other controlled leftist platforms.
Twitter is sustained by the media reporting about what people say on it. If they start reporting on what celebrities say on another platform Twitter will die.
I find it amusing that people think they know more than people like Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
I don't really know what Elon is up to. I don't necessarily think he is our hero.
But he is not dumb, and he is not making a mistake. The guy is brilliant.
This is my theory
You are on the right track. However, it's not even limited to Media coverage. Just think about what Elon says about Twitter. True freedom of speech platform will not be able to get ad revenue if you dont want it at the mercy of the people with money. It cannot monetise our data since it would violate our privacy.
So a free speech platform is (shudder to say it, but like @Jack has been saying recently) a public utility that does not and should not generate profits.
Does Elon understand this? Is it even possible to think he does not know this? He even said that buying Twitter is not based on business reasons.
Add this to two observation:
Elon originally talked about buying twitter on the same day the famous Trump EO regarding crimes against humanity.
Grimes and Evon have been saying many times that Elon lives like he is destitute and he owns basically nothing except his Tesla stock.
Put all this together and what do you get? Elon turned and struck a deal with the Q team when the EO went into effects. He gave up all his wealth. Tesla stocks are in his name only for optics. All that money has to be spent as per how he is told, including buying Twitter and making it self destruct.
Destitute by who's standard, that satanist bitch's?
Doesn't matter, when looked at with broader context, these fit into the pattern.
The glass is not half empty. There's Truth Social, Gab, and a lot of other platforms. We are finding out that Twitter was a Bot factory. I'm betting that Elon has a lawsuit in the making in the near future.
Yes, if they were artificially inflating their numbers with bots and paid shills, that's fraud. Treble damages is what Elon will get.
FYI The media is dead.
Gotta start somewhere pal....
IMO, this is an underestimation of EM's business acumen as well a misreading of the business, political and cultural climate. While liberal progressives and the mainstream media will pull business away there are a whole big bunch of conservatives just chaffing for a platform to replace the loss. Meme-ing will become a career path. Freedom of Speech is lethal to the present mainstream media; they are the one's at risk. EM will short/sell them and own them all for a song.
Maybe he has a warped sense of humour and thinks $44 billion is worth it just to see the lefties get their knickers in a twist?
