If Elon feels sore about having burned $44B on Twitter now, I wonder how he'll feel once he realizes that it's actually Gab/Parler he's bought.

And discovers the hard way that Twitter's ex-leadership could afford to bully and piss off the MAGA right to a far greater extent than he could afford to piss off the Bay Area left (the the two are not equivalent in intellectual output, sway over the mainstream, attractiveness to advertisers, or ability to build alternative platforms).

And this particular move will irritate people right across the political spectrum.
