He will need it. The left has a death grip on all social media.

If the left were smart they’d sell twit and take the money and start three or four new social media platforms that only spew their leftist crap.

This guy is playing with the public....take everything he says with a grain of salt! He is bipolar and incredible mischievous along with smarts. The conservative voices are on their own....

Then they would only be talking to themselves, and they know that. They need a captive audience to feel superior to!

Yep, I’m sure he would prefer to start his own and has all along, but you have to at least take a swing at the big dog. He’ll raise some havoc with their valuation in the meantime. He clearly is not interested in the slow process of gathering up shares that could take years which says he has a sense of urgency. Buy it outright or do Plan B which will be entirely on his timetable, with no obstacles in the way. Imagine the resistance he would have with 99% of Twit employees sabotaging his every move, knowing he can’t fire them all and keep the platform going. He’d be in as bad a situation to make radical change as Trump was.

You may think it’s all a big joke. But are you aware Musk thinks that people should be able to freely say what they think?

I don’t know how you live with yourself. /s

True, he may be playing around, but it is entertaining as hell.

Too late. Twitter dominates.

AND they don’t get the money. The shareholders get the money.

That was a Musk tease.

If Musk is smart he'd sell all of his Twitter shares. Just his buying into Twitter made their shares skyrocket. He could sell now, make a fortune, and truthfully tell the SEC that he wasn't doing market manipulation -- the TWTR board made it clear they didn't like him holding shares.

For those of you in Rio Linda, in this context "SEC" is talking about the Securities and Exchange Commission, not the folks who've dominated football the past century.
