X is the King of the Media World.

Musk can afford to lose money on X, with what he has made on Tesla.

 

It's his toy to preach to the converted. As another poster has said, X lost 33% of its users.

 

How does it make him more powerful? It's the money he funneled to Trump that achieved more power.

 

You probably don't realize it, but America is heading down the same path as Russia. Rule by oligarchs. How's that going for the average Russian?

 

Musk hasn't lost money on X. It is in part because of X leading him to take power with Trump that Tesla shares have soared. You can basically say X was free at this point.

Never been on Twitter or Bluesky but regardless, Trump is smarter than most people especially the left.

I think Trump is toying with the left and the media and having fun with it

Interesting choice of words, take power with Trump.

 

You could say X was free, if you subscribe to some cockeyed ideas of basic double entry book-keeping. It's called a profit and loss account. Or are you claiming Musk is so prescient he knew Tesla shares would go up if Trump won?

I am saying he knows what he is doing and continues to win and is the second most powerful man in the world as well as the richest. X is a nice tool in the box for his empire. I don't think he loses sleep over a paltry $44 billion. The way you account is much simpler than how Musk does things. For Musk X has b even invaluable for a guy like you it would be worth almost nothing.

Trump is smart at conning people. As a businessman, his string of bankruptcies don't inspire confidence. In terms of economics and science, he's illiterate.

Well, I am solvent, and will remain so unless I make it to 103. I like that kind of simple.

 

I also don't need bodyguards. I'll bet Musk has a platoon of them.

My question is when will Elon be able to state that he has made money from his purchase....?

 

 

 

He's made it already. Only true clowns don't know that. 

 

"You want to blackmail me with money? I dont care " said the richest man in history. 

 

"When will Elon make money from Twitter" says a witless broke troll posting from a municipal bin. 

 

Reality? The man owns the most effective media platform on planet earth. Ever, all time, historical. 

 

Get back in your bin. 

[theblether]

Here's a question for the halfwit brigade. Do you really believe Elon handed over $44 billion cash for Twitter? 

 

No one is that stupid.

Delirious crap. This man earns more in an hour than you do in your life. He improves the human condition more in a single minute than you do in your entire life. 

 

The difference between people like me and you is I know the man is in a different league. You actually think you matter. 

 

You don't. You are the type of weasel that free speech unleashes. 

 

So look at the numbers, my cunning weasel. Has Musk's worth soared since buying Twitter with all its WORLDWIDE influence or not?

Calm down dear, calm down.

 

X is only the 13th most popular social media platform worldwide and the  user count has declined by 33 million since January 2024.

You know the old saying: "Sh#! floats to the top".

 

And, from your horizontal histogram...

 

The saying is SURELY TRUE, in this case.....

 

With FaceBook having Floated to the top.....

How disgusting!

I've used up.my quota for dealing with witless trolls today. 

 

But I'll be nice to you as you are clearly a lonely man. 

 

The next time you press send, will.it be a nice message? 

 

Or yet another reflection of your deep unhappiness with life?

Glad to hear it.

You've made my day.

 

Go Leon!

He IS my fellow alum, ...

You know....

it's a good thing we have people like Musk to do the heavy lifting in the world so the little guy can live simply.

Musk has said a few times that he didn't buy (twitter/X) it to make money, he bought it to keep free speech alive.

When advertisers threatened to pull adds, Musk told them to go f@#$ themselves.

Let's all keep in mind that when Elon invests in a business, then he almost ALWAYS makes money.

X is no exception.

The only question is when.

And, this was my question.

 

Free Speech is important, as my fellow-alum Chomsky always says.

He says that the USA is probably the only country that guarantees Free Speech, and he is correct in his statement.

 

If you really want to know what Noam says about Free Speech, and its importance, then you might be interested in these short VIDs:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Free Speech is Free Speech.

There is no compromise.

This is obvious.

 

Without free speech, there is no freedom.

There can be no change for the better.

Obviously.

He was referring specifically to Disney's Bob Iger. Worth noting that Disney crawled back to X with its tail between its legs after attempting and failing to blackmail Musk. 

How humiliating after being told to go F themselves. 🤣
