      Yeah but I’m a nobody. If I built a social media mega hub that can be abused to brainwash humanity, I would like to think keeping it off the wrong hands is priceless

        Also, look at what’s his face that started Twitter. Now he’s got insane levels of Musk’s cash and started yet another social media company, Blueksy which a lot of people ran over to. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.
