One interesting thing is that unlike Paul Graham, who thought it was possible to launch a Twitter competitor in a month, Elon understands it’s not that easy to compete with or build a new Twitter. It’s not a particularly expensive company for its outsized influence in the world. Having said that, boy is Elon the wrong person to own a platform that should respect free speech and be neutral (understanding Twitter hasn’t had a perfect record on either front).
