So is the assumption that Musk intends to go toe to toe with Trump's Truth Social? There can only be one winner and one loser in the "farther right" social media.

And I don't know the answer to this, too lazy to Google, I guess...but...has Musk ever ran a profitable company?

Tesla
SpaceX
Boring Company
and now Twitter

None of those, to my knowledge, are profitable. So is this really the person who should be pulling the strings here?

Of course he profits. His company profits I do not know.

But there are huge numbers of current and future jobs. Increased current and future local, regional and global commerce. And the development of diverse new technologies. Huge values.

Could it be that Biden's huge vote numbers were a total surprise to those participating conservatives. Because they only see their side participating on these sorts of forums?
Or look at Biden's "rallies."

They make Hillary Clinton's back in 2016 look populated in comparison lol.

Exactly. And that may be the key.

THe middle 70% or so don't concur.

Gays love chick-fil-a and conservatives still go to Disney world.

What you see here and on-line in niche discussions <> mainstream views.

Musk bought the company so he can do what the wants. I'm not a big Twitter user so I will sleep well at night regardless what happens to them.
