Do you think trying to divert attention from the question I asked you by asking me an irrelevant question is going to hide your failure to have answered the question I asked you

Twitter cost Elon Musk a fortune to buy. Where do you think Musk got that fortune? Answer: Communist carbon credits! What do you have to say about that, Gridley?

Making whose money? You, being the wealth-envying commie you are, keep talking wishfully about Elon standing to lose an immense amount of money from advertisers who threaten to cut ties with Twitter. So, the money you say he won't be getting from advertisers--whence do they get the money you say they, on account of their activism, won't be giving him?

We can talk about your diversion-attempt questions after you have answered this question:

Musk is already sweating that massive drop in revenue:

In the days since Musk took over as Twitter’s owner and de-facto CEO, the platform has faced a surge of hateful rhetoric and other toxic content, which has caused outcry from civil society groups and prompted some advertisers to think twice about working on the platform.

In his Wednesday tweet thread, Musk said he had met with representatives of the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, Color of Change, the Asian American Foundation and several other groups to discuss “how Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies.”

On Tuesday, Twitter head of safety and integrity Yoel Roth said on the platform that the company has been “focused on addressing the surge in hateful conduct on Twitter. We’ve made measurable progress, removing more than 1500 accounts and reducing impressions on this content to nearly zero.” Both Musk and Roth have stressed that Twitter’s policies have not changed since the takeover.
Musk has his hands full and then some...that sink he brought in with him might be needed before long...

I don't think you understood my point at all.
I understood your point. You don't understand Musk’s motivation.
At the end of the day, Musk's acquisition of Twitter is a very expensive business deal, meaning he needs to make money on this deal or it will end very badly for him.
All he has to do is break even. He can even be somewhat in the red each year and achieve exactly what he was hoping to achieve.
Making money is the name of the game, baby!
If Musk's goal was making money, he never would have bought Twitter, a company he knew was overvalued and overloaded with bots.

Making money might be Musk's goal in his other ventures, but it's not his primary goal when it comes to Twitter.

So Elon's business plan is:

1) alienate advertisers, then threaten them with a harassment campaign
2) tell prominent accounts - the main reason people come to the site - to get lost
3) get $8/mo from sycophants uh, not 100% sure the math works here

Musk never really intended to buy Twitter in the first place. He was just acting like the muckraking troll he is when he flirted with the idea, but he overplayed his hand and got legally forced into buying it.
He was not legally forced into buying it. If he pulled out of the deal, he would have been forced to pay a 1 billion dollar penalty which is pocket change for Musk which proves he wanted to buy it, even though he knew it was overpriced.

Twitter has as much to do with "free speech" as TOL--which is to say, nothing. "Free speech," such as it is, exists with or without Twitter. Twitter is a company. Nothing more.
Then why are the libs freaking out over Musk owning Twitter?

He's looking at it like a dividend stock, not like how Joe Schmo is looking at twitter stock. Musk owns the profits now, all he wants is a nice dividend yield.

alienate advertisers
Oh, no, no, no, weasel, first you gots to answer the question you were asked four times already and have not answered:

5th asking:
Making whose money? You, being the wealth-envying commie you are, keep talking wishfully about Elon standing to lose an immense amount of money from advertisers who threaten to cut ties with Twitter. So, the money you say he won't be getting from advertisers--whence do they get the money you say they, on account of their activism, won't be giving him?

Remember, besides putting on public display your foaming-at-the-mouth wealth-envy as the commie loon you are (which you've easily succeeded to do), your object in this thread was to paint a picture of Elon Musk's financial state as being somehow at the mercy of some folks you've been referring to as "advertisers" (have you even named any names??)--to teach us just how you suppose the ball to be in the court of these "advertisers," and how they are in some sort of position to make Musk regret having purchased Twitter. Obviously you continue in your failure to achieve that goal until you have at least answered that question.
