I found this funny.

    its worth comes from being able to influence world politics. Does he seem like someone who cares or needs money?

      True, but that power is also diminished greatly as more and more regular users abandon the site. No eyes on the propaganda makes it worth a lot less.

        Yeah I’m sure I’m not the norm but I’m actually shocked when I see companies advertising their talent’s twitter accounts on tv broadcasts. I truly can’t believe that site is still mainstream after everything that’s happened.

        Idk then I look over and see trump as a presidential candidate and ugh… I guess I’m just still not comfortable/accepting of how far off the rails things have gone 🙁

      Twitter currently has $1.5 billion/year deficit which is a lot, even for Musk, to bankroll.

      The natural language dataset is worth a lot. That’s why they’re and Reddit made the sites harder to use/scrape.

      He got a massive load to buy Twitter, so yeah, he does.
