After the election win, I am no longer that certain in how bad of an investment Twitter was for Musk.

It probably helped the Trump campaign somehow, even if not decisive.

And he will probably get billions in AI subsidies which he will partially spend on licensing Twitter content for AI purposes.

This was the point all along, it gave too much power the individuals and now he can manipulate it

He didn't lose money, he just bought a propaganda machine. His image of being a dumb meme man may be mostly true but it's also a perfect cover for fuckery
