There was a period of time I wondered if the cost burden of twitter would cause elon to sell it (at a loss) and a real business to take over. After his endorsement it became clear to me that the cultural influence it gives him and the dictators who loaned the money far out weights any costs and Twitter will never be saved.
@stefan And it’s not like he’s going broke or anything so it really doesn’t matter to him.
@Ronnie i guess. i think it is pretty expensive.
@stefan Oh it’s expensive but his net worth just keeps going up. If he was losing money in other places it might cause him to worry. He likes being the owner of X more than money he is losing.
@stefan Most of what he paid was other people's money (all of whom had a similar agenda), so there was never a real danger of it hurting him financially. He played the long game with Trump and won.
@stefan I'm still optimistic that he ruins twitter enough that people stop using it
@stefan controlling the information ecosystem is worth any amount of money.
