Is Elon musk's buying of Twitter fueled by Jack Sweeney??

[Majestic-milf]

We all know how rich and influential Elon musk is and if I'm not mistaken, he used his influence in promoting Dogecoin. Recently there has been a trending news of the 19 yo boy, Jack Sweeney who has refused to delete his account that tracks the billionaire's private jet and was offered by the latter $5,000 but counters with his own 50,000. This should be chicken change for Elon but it seems the man has other plans.
 Come to think of it, is this move of buying Twitter another of his impulsive acts or is he afraid of Jack? Your thoughts on this, please 🙏 https://www.legit.ng/people/1453754-elon-musk-reportedly-offers-19-year-old-n2m-delete-twitter-account-tracking-private-jet-boy-wants-n20m/

Why would he be afraid from the 19 y/o kid? He may not like the idea of this kid tracking his whereabouts, but I don't think he has big influence in buying the social media platform. I am more on the idea that he has plans for this, in terms of business aspect of things. Definitely, he has eye on this platform because he is actively using it even before the announced acquisition. One benefit for him is it is easy to announce any updates on his plans via informal tweets and he already knows that it can create interest from the community. Just look at the doge price today.

it has nothing to do with him buying twitter ... the reason he bought twitter is because nowadays information becomes something valuable,, from twitter he can mine a lot of information that he can use to enlarge his business empire,, and that's the reason he bought twitter

I don't think Elon Musk is afraid of this. the reason he bought twitter is because he wants to have a social media platform. I've read his interview some time ago, he showed interest in creating a social media platform, and in one of the interview sessions he said it was easier to develop an existing platform than to develop from scratch. and after some time passed, he finally acquired twitter. So this might be the answer to his past interview.

The news about that boy is some Months old and it doesn't have anything to do with why they bought Twitter. The boy was intruding into Elon's privacy which he didn't like and not just that, it was a security risk to him as the richest man on earth and the boy as well(people will be ready to buy any information he finds about Elon).
Why would Elon Musk be afraid of Jack, someone who was not afraid to influence Bitcoin and some meme tokens, what is there for a successful person to be scared about if not for security and some privacy.

I’m pretty sure Elon Musk could’ve just report the leaks and Twitter would’ve taken down the Tweets or the account itself.

In Twitter’s report Tweet options, there’s an option for: It’s abusive or harmful > Includes Private Information > Home address or physical location/Other

A person like Elon Musk clearly does not need to be scared of anyone or anything. He is not buying it because he is scared and want to monitor tweets. I think he just wants the ownership so that he can :
1. Advertise doge
2. Place people strategically like the owner of bitcoin.com to say good things about his preferred coins
3. Enter-make profit-exit the market and do it in a loop using Twitter somehow

Well I do not know what are his intentions to buy Twitter but other than profit ofc I do think there are some underhanded reasons as well therefore at the end of the day this thing can also cause his downfall but the guy is not at all affected by the public opinions as well. Remember about ending world hunger ? Or about trying to pump the price through his tweets?

Elon has thought about buying social media platforms for 3 years minimum:

Did Elon Musk Offer to Buy and Delete Facebook?

Published 7 November 2018

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/elon-musk-buy-facebook/

He joked about buying facebook to delete it in 2018.

The share price at which Elon bought twitter is more than it is worth. It might have been better if he lowballed them. The current trend of society could make platforms like twitter completely worthless considering I see only bs posted there recently for the most part. There appear to be fewer and fewer people everyday speaking truth and facts on the internet.

I mean spending 50 billion dollars just to get away from 50k payment would be funny, but at the end of the day he knows that if he pays 50k to this kid, some other account will come up and do the exact same thing and ask for 50k again, which wouldn't make sense, he would be out of money eventually because everyone would open an account to follow his moves if that were to happen. Hence, it is clear to me that this can't be stopped.

Only thing he could hope for is that he could start twitter, and then all of his "free speech" bullshit will go away and he will ban anyone who follows anyone's plane, which would be against free speech, but he is that kind of guy anyway.

1.The idea of spending 44 billion USD just to stop a 19 year old kid from "tracking" him is ridiculous.
That kid could still track Musk and publish the info on another social media platform.Do you think that Elon Musk would buy all social media platforms,only for the sake of stopping a teenager from tracking his private jet?
2.AFAIK,the deal about Twitter still isn't approved by the US authorities.There is a small possibility that the authorities might decline the deal.
3.Musk stated that he would buy Coca Cola only to add cocaine as an ingredient.You never know when he's serious and when he is trolling.

[Gyfts]

Surely he could have saved 44 billion dollars and offered the kid 50k instead, no?

He's already said he hopes his critics stay on Twitter. It's not much of a profitable enterprise anyways, so he'd be better off not arbitrarily banning people like the current model the executives have in place. He probably bought Twitter out of boredom and because he can afford it.

I agree with the part that he can afford to buy it, but I don't think he did it just because he was bored! I also don't think he bought it because some Jack Sweeney, he could and can deal with him in many other ways, probably a lot cheaper ones!

3.Musk stated that he would buy Coca Cola only to add cocaine as an ingredient.You never know when he's serious and when he is trolling.

Exactly this, we never know when he's serious and when he is trolling everyone! He is full of surprises, and sudden unexpected moves! One thing is sure, he is making money, and we will see what he will do with Twitter now, I bet he will surprise all of us, and of course, make a nice/huge profit from that!

Spending 44Bn for the 5or 50K expense doesn't really matches and it can be one of the reason but Elon has other Big reasons for buying the Twitter especially after realizing how much influencing power he is having over the internet people in the recent days so he can make money by using them.

I don't understand why you think that he would be concerned by such a small act, although he will mostly likely stop the account in future, it will simply show his need for control and poor ownership traits of such a large social media platform. All Jack is doing is consolidating publicly available information that could be posted in many other places and it will definitely move to a new platform if it ever got shut down. Maybe Elon is vindictive enough to want to hunt down where Jack is geographically located, if he doesn't know it already, but beyond that he cannot do much else. Elon should be more concerned by the illegal stock manipulation that he engaged in with his failure to declare ownership up to 10% - but the SEC has already shown it is weak to enforce the law.

[Husires]

This is the most ridiculous reason to buy Twitter, and I don't think it was mentioned, but it attracts viewers or forces them to comment, even in a sarcastic way.

The deal that took place to buy Twitter is more than a temporary investment, but rather a long-term investment, and the profits that it will achieve are nothing more than an increase in the share price, but rather the political and social impact of Twitter.

• It is a double-edged sword, and it seems that Elon Musk has decided to be influential in politics, something that could be dangerous for him or gain more influence.
• The man's actions are not absurd, and he may make Twitter as a "company" a better place, but it will not add to freedom of opinion or the decentralization of these networks.

Elon is a very smart guy so there is no way that he will fear of just because of this teenager's taking advantage of him. Before we knew it, he has already made a good arrangement with this teenager which i think Elon is not also being taken advantaged of. And about his real intention on buying Twitter, that remains a mystery until now, the thing that only himself knows it. One thing is for sure, Elon buys Twitter because it can make him more profitable and productive in the future.

[hugeblack]

At first I thought it was Jack Dorsey and began to think about the reason for that, but Jack Sweeney? What is this strange reason?
The subject of buying an Elon Mask has received a lot of analysis, most of which will be useless, it's a big deal but it's a bargain in a sea of deals.
Let's see how Twitter will result in continuity as a profitable company and how it will maintain the numbers of active users are the measures of success.
Until we get there, the deal still takes several months to complete.

That’s true, why there’s a need to spend Billions of money just to shutdown the account of one user, it doesn’t make sense and seriously Elon has another plan and we have not seen it yet. Expect a lot of changes in tweeter, and most probably will become a more regulated even if Elon promise a good freedom here. Elon is very innovative, I wish to see Tweeter to be the best social media platform to start accepting cryptocurrency and consider it as legal, this can he the start.

[Scripture]

There's a dipper reason why Elon bought Twitter out of nowhere, and not is not because of a simple tweeter user most probably Elon is planning to do something big that could change the whole Twitter system. Let's just watch his next move, and he might introduce DOGE on this platform just like the expectation of many and see how the government regulation respond to this one. Elon is a big player, he's very powerful right now and can do everything he wants, let's hope that its for the best benefit of everybody.

So this might be the answer to his past interview.

For someone like Elon this is without a doubt the easiest path, developing a social media from zero is possible but gaining enough users is the biggest challenge as most people are happy with the number of social networks they belong already, so unless you can build something completely innovative then it is better for him to buy an existing social media platform and then adjust it to his vision, which is exactly what he is trying to do after he bought twitter.
