    Wasn’t president Musk’s announcement that he was going to BUY twitter a tweet? Seeing as it’s worth fuck-all now that’s in the running.

        To be fair, buying Twitter was instrumental in him getting Trump to the presidency.

        Like any Billionaire, he needed a media outlet to manufacture consent with - I’d argue that him buying Twitter wasn’t as stupid a move as it initially seems.

          I think he used Twitter to help Trump as a way of salvaging that investment, but I don’t think he originally bought it with that intention.

        Buying the company was the decision to take over the communications channel by dictators worldwide. It wasn’t an accident and he doesn’t care about the value of shitter in the long term.
