    Musk has gotten his money’s worth, and thensome, from Twitter.

    Just because it went down in monetary value doesn’t mean he hasn’t benefited in other ways. He most definitely has.

      I mean, he could’ve had both the influence and the money if he played it smart.

        True but through buying Twitter he also obtained the ability to suppress other people. Xitter hasn’t been replaced as the global town square. It’s starting to become obvious that a lot of the accounts of people who directly criticize Musk, or say things he and his buddies don’t like will be suspended. There’s no way he could keep his money and stifle other people’s free speech, because that’s what he bought. He didn’t buy Twitter, he bought complete control over the ability to suppress speech in the global town square.
