He could have set up a rack of servers in a closet at Tesla, spent a few k recreating twitter and ANNOUNCED IT ON THE JOE ROGAN SHOW.

I know exactly why he went the much more expensive route of buying twitter.

I could tell the Jewish people how to easily drive the muslims out of Palestine.

They would run away screaming.

It is vlad that drove them out of Europe.

This time is easier, no violence required.
