So when is he buying Reddit? At this point it would cost him less than 5% of his net worth to free a huge part of the internet from the woke menace and acquire an ungodly amount of information and influence.

He is already leveraged to the tits. None of his companies makes money. Their ridiculous valuations rest on the assumption that he doesn't sell or step away because he is supposed to be the tech messiah leading us to Mars colonies and universal abundance. If he took on too much debt buying more tech companies that hemorrhage money then he would be forced to liquidate and the house of cards would come tumbling down.

And Reddit is basically a CIA honeypot anyway. It's not for sale.

Way less than that. If he started selling off tsla other investors would sell too opening up enough floating stock for a large hostile actor to force a takeover, at which time the price would plummet before he could even sell off half his holdings. His stock holdings exist to maintain control of the direction of his companies, they're not functionally sellable in any substantial amount. Net worth estimates which include his stock holdings are uninformed at absolute best.

I've seen chuds become communists but never liberals. Liberals stop being liberals if they are exposed to literally any other ideology for long enough, its pathetic.

Hmm I don't know. Because if he bought reddit, there would immediately be an exodus of people setting up a new site. The question is whether reddit has that same de-facto monopoly status that twitter had, where the offshoot site remains too small to gain traction.

I think reddit is pretty bare-bones in terms of infrastructure, so setting up the copy-site is all too easy.
It's tough for me personally to judge, there should be some underlying mathematical principles undergirding all this. Like, at which point a company is a monopoly that can't be challenged...etc.

My hunch says that if reddit was taken over, Elon would have to do something populist to get people's good graces or else it won't work. Like give them the promise they won't be harvested for AI algorithm. Give them free reddit gold. I don't fucking know what redditors want.
Keep political changes in moderation somewhat to a minimum until a few years, you can boil the frog on that one.

Also I think it would make fewer waves if Elon wasn't the one running it, but maybe an Elon-backed LLC or some shit, so there's some degree of separation. Just to quell some of the backlash
>>
>>536614497
That's exactly why any major share holder never bulk sells their actions. What they do is dilute it slowly throughout movements to make liquidity and then they buy it back at more reasonable price after the market drops.
>>
>>536614497
That's true of most of the top billionaires. The richest person in the world in terms of liquid assets that can actually be sold for their book value is probably Warren Buffet.
>>
>>536614644
There are probably way fewer users on Reddit than we think. It's flooded with shills and bots in a way that no other site is. It's literally designed to engineer opinions through conformity. They make money by selling psy-ops as a service the way cable TV did back in the day. There is so much fuckery happening there that it is probably run by the CIA/Mossad and not for sale. Hell, we already know that Ghislaine Maxwell was a moderator on top subreddits and contributing heavily to the site.

Factually true though. All uncensored forums move further right. Leftism cannot survive scrutiny since it is a contrived ideology that doesn’t explain reality at all.
>>
>>536614717
And that it's not even taken into account cause most of them uses an asset manager such as blackrock to do that. You see, when an agency such as blackrock buys part of your company they can do one of this two things

1 - they use investors money to get a slice of your business
2 - you give away part of your ownership to them as if it was a common trade, it's said that they bought it from you but in fact they were gifted that but the real ownership remains your and with that you make the movement of selling and buying as an asset manager instead of yourself.

That's why you never see billionaires selling their shares in the common market. If you consider that 10% of Spacex by example can be worth 200 billion and you can buy and sell it then you have basically eternal liquidity without ever touching the rest of it.

Both websites are dogshit sources of information for anything serious, but reddit is better for niche hobbyist stuff.

It's not 2013 anymore. Reddit is not better for niche hobby subs. Most niche hobby subs are either dead, filled with ideological drivel or they're just a bunch of 89IQ retards treating the sub like a google search bar. The site is complete trash. Worst part is the few places with activity, it's probably just a massive corporation or company shilling on it.

Last time I went to my provincial subreddit it was nothing but accounts shilling in favor of our corrupt malicious fraudulent pile of shit electric company. Totally organic users just totally spending their free time mass replying to anyone complaining about the shit prices, price gouging and terrible service. Yep, def a great website for niche hobbies, or you know just ask a random nigger on the street instead.

>>536611926
First of all none of that net worth is liquid funds he can spend, even for buying twitter he had to sell a bunch of tesla stock and he still had loans and investors help him
Second of all reddit is owned and run by mossad, they aren't going to let him have it
>>
>>536615058
>All uncensored forums move further right
this probably has more to do with the fact that all right leaning content gets banned anywhere else. of course they're going to gravitate towards websites that don't censor, and of course leftoids are going to avoid those websites because they have no ability to delete stuff they don't like. their ideology cannot exist unless they get to control what people can see. the reason why redditors think trump stole the election is because they don't see enough trump supporters on their website for them to believe there were enough people supporting him. and the reason for that is because the site banned them all.
