But Elon has stated numerous times his reason for the takeover is not for economic reasons. He's not doing this for money, he has zero desire to turn this into a very profitable company (watch his TED talk interview). He's doing this to protect free speech (from his point of view).
- ModernMech 4y ago> But Elon has stated numerous times his reason for the takeover is not for economic reasons. This is a hedge. If Twitter loses money Elon will say "I wasn't trying to make money"; and if Twitter makes money Elon will say "I made money despite not even trying". Win-win.
- hunterb123 4y agoHe stated the offer isn't for economic reasons. That's not mutually exclusive to wanting a profitable company in the longer term. You can want to protect free speech and want the company to do well too. But I do believe his priority is free speech first. Profits, if possible, second.
