    As much as it sucks, this is newsworthy. Not taking him seriously is how Twitter got ruined. Well, super-ruined anyway. It was already kinda crap.

      It’s really not. Him making a serious offer and then actually having to buy Twitter was notable tech news. Him musing about Wikipedia is not.

        Him musing about Twitter was how it started.

          No it’s not. He flirted with (and was encouraged to) joining the board of directors, and then called up Jack Dorsey to make a legitimate, and ultimately binding offer to buy the company.

          This isn’t remotely the same thing. This article does nothing more than feed a troll.

              And? If he makes a legitimate offer and it goes through, that’s potentially tech news.

              Taking it seriously is the only way that’s even likely to happen, so you’re proving my point.
