Weird that Elon musk would do something like this

I assumed he would optimize how he spends his time.

He mentioned once that he sometimes sleeps/slept at the factory.

I had a similar thought on Putin: as long as the war is ongoing he has less time to do other things.

When Biden took over trump I also thought that bidens team might be able to do more change than the trump team because he fired so many and golfed often.

This is just a 2022 version of a billionaire buying a newspaper. Not shocking.

To do what?

A newspaper I get. Forming opinions is easy with a newspaper.

But with twitter? Manipulating Twitter trends? Who cares?

You realize twitter is most likely far more powerful at shaping opinion than any single newspaper? Fox News Facebook and Twitter are probably among the top 5 such mind control outlets. I am not on Twitter but I am motivated to research the reach Twitter has vs the TV networks, the major news papers and the bigger social networks which of course dwarf what we used to call MainStream Media.

Might be time to revisit some of those assumptions then?

[Xenixo]

Of course.

I posted it though to share my thoughts. This made me realize that Elon musk takes twitter much more serious than I thought.
