Elon Musk takes over Twitter

Here in Germany we thought the same about Tesla. "It will never make profit", Germans knew (also: it cnanto be what shoukd not be...) And now? He is up and away and leads the German car makers around by a ring through their noses.

He must see something in Twitter that us ordinary mortals cannot. And that maybe must not necessarily be financial, economic potentials. Maybe its purely political.

And no, I still have no Twitter or FB or any other such account.

Yeah, probably. In 3 years everyone will marvel at his vision when Twitter makes him the first trillionaire.

So Twitter is not longer present at the stock exchange, it will no longer be publicly traded - there will no longer be a CEO with a board of directors or shareholders. All shareholders are gonna get liquidated. It will just be Twitter and Musk.
Twitter can be a powerful tool in the hands of demagogues for silencing critics, changing opinions and influencing.

Fox News and Carlson are already back on Twitter

Maybe Musk can also reinstate Trump as TwinC (Twitterer in (mis)Chief) ?

But then maybe Musk just shuts Twitter down becasue he does not want to be tracked.

Some project located in the vicinity of Alpa Centauri, I heard.

Seriously, I dont evben know whether he was/is pro or against Trump, but maybe he is just pissed by increasing regulation gagging media and streamlining the allowed public opinion in the name of politically correct and ordered things.

Or maybe he is pro Trump, i dont know, in which case he simply would be a nutcase in my book. 44 bn in sponsoring money? That would redefine the meaning of "crazy".
