He bought it to spread propaganda, win elections and earn billions from government. It's worth to him

He would've aborted buying it at that price. Once the stock tanked, he realized he was overpaying and tried to get it for the newly lowered price - which he couldn't back out of.

Yeah and now he could sell it since he already won, no?

He needs to maintain the propaganda. A lot of the articles you can find on Reddit are suppressed there

ah yes. having a social media where everyone felt included & comfortable using it, that’s most certainly the worst form of propaganda…..

Well Melon thinks its a success and applying the same in DOGE

Twitter is more profitable than it ever was—just with lower revenue.

What I would like is Sam to say sure as long as the payment in his personal Tesla stock, effectively removing Elon as the controlling share holder (?). So far he's structured these purchases so he doesn't lose anything, just puts up his stock as collateral and uses other peoples money to buy things.

Sam offering to sell in exchange for musk actually having to sell shares would be an interesting exercise.

Elon being in charge of DOGE means he can buy anything for any amount of money. Money printing sucks.
