Truth of the matter is before Elon ever gets Twitter another tech giant will buy it without hesitation.
They should sell to him because all he is doing is either buying Twitter at fair value or doing pre-launch hype for a competitor which will include the accumulation of other platforms including Trump’s Truth social, shit like substack, which he can easily get for less than 10 billion, Mastadon, etc.

- betwixthewires 5y agoI get your point, I just figured I'd point out your misunderstanding of mastodon specifically, to you so you can better understand it. It isn't a just a twitter alternative.
