Didn’t somebody try that already?
Yup. And as I posted earlier, Musk made an offer to buy that platform as well for $28.
Not $28 billion. $28 dollars.
Really? He offered to buy Truth Social for $28? That’s an epic troll.

But it’s not a social media platform, is it?
Only non-witches get due process.

It’s a setup. My guess? He’s already got a new platform ready to roll out next month.

I’m pretty sure people tried building electric cars and satellites before, too.

He is just looking to drive up the price, and then sell, making a big profit for himself.
I just dont see him following through on buying Twitter.

To be fair, neither is Truth Social.

As I posted earlier, the voices screaming about billionaires buying media companies are silent about Bezos, Bloomberg, et. al.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I'm quietly hoping for a counter-offer from George Soros.

OK, true.
Perhaps I should have said "owning media companies."

The lefties I know freaking hate Jeff Bezos.
He's the billionaire equivalent of the "nice guy" who sends weird, possessive texts after a couple of dates.

Reactions one day after Musk offered to buy out Twitter - not good, Twitter stock fell, presumably because most investors do not believe that Musk's offer is credible.
Also came across an analysis on Tesla, presumably the only money-generating asset Musk can rely on to finance his Twitter buyout:
Short version is the author thinks Tesla has many problems and its stock may be ready to fall hard.

I'm not an expert on Twitter but back in the day, I remember it not being valued as all that much because it couldn't be monetized (i.e. hate that word - can't make money off of it). Has that changed? If Elon makes it better, does he have a way of earning anything off of his investment?

Twitter ad buys are decent, yeah.

Great Twitter thread by the former CEO of Reddit on the difficulties of running a social media company
Well, I disagree that it was a great thread. "Be nice to each other and there would be no censorship" is not exactly a deep insight.
