People called musk a madman for paying a huge premium for twitter.

How many people do you know that are paying for social media? I personally know none.

I personally know no one that owns a Ferrari. Does that mean no one buys a Ferrari?
You have seen Ferraris on the road, despite not knowing someone who owns one.

There will always be a subgroup of people that will pay for social media, either because their work pays for it or because it is crucial enough for personal reasons.

I am happy to pay for social media if there is zero tracking and zero advertising. However, so far advertising is way too lucrative, so this won't happen.

> Does that mean no one buys a Ferrari?

No. It just means there isn't a trend of people buying ferraris.
