genuinely convinced he may have intentionally destroyed twitter to make the next presidential campaign operate on a different field.
sounds crazy but without twitter or reddit, how do "the youth" communicate? tiktok? insta?
Big parts of the youth did not use twitter. Twitter had at its peak about 500mio active users. Instagram has 2.4 billion, tiktok 1 billion, snapchat 750mio. The relevancy of twitter is highly skewed, because the media used it a lot.
Wow crazy that so many people use those social media platforms. I have never used any of them.
I'd say that's stupid, but so is every other idea he comes up with for it so who knows.
Would that have been worth $44b?
It wasn't worth that much when he bought it. At most, it was worth half that. One of the many reasons why Musk is a fucking moron.
It doesn't help making an offer that was too high just so he could make a silly "420" joke.
