Elon Musk never cared if Twitter was a business failure–he wants a political win

You can buy a <i>lot</i> of politicians for 44B and there would not be anywhere near as much smoke and flames. Guess that didn&#x27;t have enough of a hit?

I suspect that if Twitter can maintain itself and become the new Parler&#x2F;Truth Social&#x2F;etc. It will ultimately reveal that it itself magnifies underlying political power but doesn&#x27;t create it(for the parties, for Musk it may become an incredible source of political power). Twitter amplified Trump&#x27;s rise and may have ultimately been the source of his downfall. Be careful what you wish for I think becomes prescient.<p>And a platform dominated by Andrew Tates and Donald Trumps will be strongly popular (inspire fanaticism), but not broadly popular, and may alienate people. If Elon Musk lets twitter become a cesspool, and conservatives embrace the cesspool, I think it will lead to a new understanding of &quot;brand safety&quot;.

Musk has several profitable ventures which can sustain twitter. The imaginary billionaire money doesn&#x27;t matter. This is actually a measure of do the banks believe Musk will deliver and there are huge names saying yes.<p>The reality is the large divide between red and blue in the USA. Both sides just insult and attack each other constantly. Never honour successes or be positive about the other side. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Second_American_Civil_War" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Second_American_Civil_War</a><p>What exactly is Elon Musk doing for the political win? History is full of violence, there is currently only 1 known good way to prevent violence. Open and fair discussions.<p>Something which is clear now; a certain political group was censoring their political opponents and then telling their side it was all legitimate content moderation. This has now ended.
