"$34B is a steep price to kill Twitter, but maybe it's worth it", a somebody wrote back in the day.
Apparently it sort of was worth it for Musk, but it cost him, and is going to cost further down the line.
- xracy 2y agoI mean, this might've made sense if he was killing it fast... but He's killing it with enough time for it to come back as bluesky.
- Theodores 2y agoHe bought himself into the White House as a tech-bro Rasputin, probably the most paid for that level of influence, so we can expect him to get his money's worth.
- thinkcontext 2y agoHe has made many times his money back in the value rise in Tesla and SpaceX.
- stefs 2y agobut the value of tesla and spacex didn't rise because of him having control of twitter, it would have risen regardless.
- shawabawa3 2y agoIt rose because of his government access And you could argue his government access is due to controlling twitter
- bdangubic 2y agohe bought an office in the white house which he already turned into much more than what he invested in X with 4 more years to come…
- Hikikomori 2y agoThey put him in a building across the street and he has to talk to chief of staff now.
- bdangubic 2y agoif I had $44bn to spare I’d pay for that kind of access to USA government… running “DOGE” alone I’d pay twice that
- rsynnott 2y agoI mean, realistically, hard to imagine him lasting 4 years. See the previous Trump term… turnover was… high.
- bdangubic 2y agoif you surround yourself with intelligent people (which for the most part he did in both 2016-2020 and now) they will get sick of him soon (we have 78 years of examples of this…) :)
