No, Elon Musk is most likely driven by financial gain and not by the ideology and ideas that allowed Bitcoin to exist.
People in the current administration of this forum at least share the values of Satoshi and were here from the beginning, while Bitcoin was tagged as scam, ponzi and dark currency, they still believe in the vision of decentralized money and that (in my opinion) is not for sale.

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

No, he won't want to buy Bitcointalk, never.

Because bitcointalk is not a fancy platform to build connections and shill your posts to walls, notifications of other users who are in or not in your connection/ friend/ follower list.

It is different than social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter when your notifications will be spammed with many statuses and tweets from others.

Bitcointalk is not a place for Elon Musk to play with his jokes that he always loves to do.

If someone tried to buy bitcointalk, they'd probably be rejected so that's the first hurdle a perspective buyer would have to deal with on their reputation.

The second and probably more important issue is that this forum is being tested to run in a more open source way receiving a lot of collaborations from volunteers, if there was a for profit motive of the forum, you're going to be a lot less likely to keep those volunteers working here and stopping them from making a rival.

Also, advertisers on Bitcointalk had to jump through a lot of hoops to do it and were still doing that while advertisers on twitter didn't and many left very early on when it changed owners.

He is not so rich that money is unlimited, even though he is the richest man in the world, he does not always have billions of dollars in his bank account. In the acquisition of twitter, in addition to selling off Tesla shares, he also received a lot of help from other shareholders, including CZ.

I was imagine when he find this forum that look unique because Satoshi was create this forum like he create bitcoin, 
and after he look unique and look philanthropy then he want to buy this forum,

He doesn't love crypto as many people think, he buys twitter all for his business benefit, not for bitcoin or doge. Don't think that he is the savior of the market. He can buy TW, can buy Facebook... but I never thought he would think of buying bitcointalk, it's not beneficial for his business.

[bittraffic]

Elon wants publicity like Justin Sun. He'd be more interested in a platform where billions of people on it interested in trolling than bitcointalk which has particular visitors more interested in crypto discussion. The demographics ain't perfect for his company or EV promotion.

Bitcointalk is not for regular people actually. You'll know this if you try introducing this forum to local forums. Unless Elon has his own Bitcoin casino.

[DapanasFruit]

I am sure Elon Musk is not going to be interested in buying a forum that is focused on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. Remember that Elon Musk is a businessman...he will not get into anything if the possible return on investment is not going to be high. He bought Twitter because he can see its potential to add more financial clout on his part and I can feel that he is also looking at it like a toy that can boost his popularity and reach of audience. He will not gain those if he is the owner of this forum. Besides, this forum is not for sale, anyway.

[Darker45]

First and foremost, Bitcointalk is not a money-making machine, so I doubt Elon would be interested in this forum. Second, this forum is a Bitcoin-centered site and Elon is not really a big fan of it, so I don't think he would be drawn toward this idea.

But since this is a question of if, I don't agree if Elon is going to buy it. He would only be turning this forum into something else we won't probably like. But then, of course, my agreement doesn't matter, although I think many would also be opposing it.

[Razmirraz]

No, new ownership will give birth to some new rules. Elon Musk is a reliable businessman, of course everything really depends on financial gain. His ideology is very different from those on the Bitcointalk forum, he is not fit to be the owner of Bitcointalk even though he has a lot of money to buy it.
Satoshi has designed Bitcointalk so beautifully, he dedicated the Bitcointalk forum to us, so Bitcointalk is not for sale.

[michellee]

Bitcointalk is like the other forum out there but the difference is Satoshi created Bitcointalk for the next discussion about bitcoin. I can not imagine what Bitcointalk would be if he bought Bitcointalk. Maybe he will spread his propaganda or his dirty plan to people. I really hope that he does not want to buy Bitcointalk. But as a businessman, Elon may try to search for other things that can make him more popular than buying Bitcointalk so I do not see that he will be interested in buying Bitcointalk.

I don't think though Elon is be interested on bitcointalk, what will he gain if he buy this community? Remember that he is a business man and everything he buy has some business narrative behind, so I doubt that he will earn big by acquiring bitcointalk.

And Theymos or the one that has control of this won't allow it I speculate.

With that said, I will or doesn't want Elon to buy, and if that happen, not sure what will happen to this community.

[shahzadafzal]

First of all Satoshi won’t approve this.

Let’s suppose in some parallel universe it happens,next we know

1. Theymos is fired
2. For legendary status you have to pay $8/month
3. Merits becomes new shitcoin

[adzino]

He won't be interested in bitcointalk forum. What is he going to achieve by taking over the forum? Nothing. Twitter is going to make him money, but this forum isn't going to make him anything. If he was interested in the forum to make it a "better" place, he could just make a new account and start giving suggestions and that is it. He would be saving himself millions of dollars.

Anyway, if he did want to buy the forum, I doubt anyone would agree to sell it.

I do not remember reading or hearing that Elon Musk has any interest in this forum at all, after all to me he is not someone that is interested in any kind of ideology and he is only interested in making a lot of money, but even if at some point in the future Elon Musk or some other billionaire shows interest in buying this forum for some reason they will have to convince theymos to sell it, something which will not be easy at all if not outright impossible.

[mk4]

1. Elon is wealthy but he doesn't have "unlimited" money
2. Elon wouldn't be interested in Bitcointalk
3. We don't need to agree nor disagree if Elon wants to buy Bitcointalk because we don't own it. It will totally depend on Theymos

[ice18]

 Not gonna happen mate, Elon will not be interested on a forum like this, its really different platform compared from social medias like Twitter, Facebook I dont know the reason why Elon bought twitter maybe for money making machine or for just for helping humanity which he was talking lately, We all know that twitter is one of the largest social media today and more people are using it to share information publicly in a more faster way, which maybe Elon wants.

[Mamun74]

I Think, it will not happen in future or recent. I didn’t see any news about buy bitcoin. This is totally different any others social media. If it will happen then everyone will be surprise. He is most valuable person in investment.If he would be interested then he gives us news share his Twitter. So we will be get this news from twitter.

I do not agree, and I see that this is just a rumor. In fact, Elon Musk is a businessman looking for investments that make his capital multiply quickly and looking for innovation and wants his voice and proposals to reach his fans around the world, so he bought Twitter because it is a global social platform that includes businessmen and communities in all industries and not only in cryptocurrency, I do not see any real reason why Elon would buy a Bitcointalk forum, although this forum is a unique and old forum and has a large community of investors and traders of cryptocurrencies and projects, and it is the source of Bitcoin that was created by the founder Satoshi, but for Elon, I think that buying a forum is not from his real goals.

[pooya87]

Elon Musk bought Twitter so that he can gain a tremendous power on public opinion and with the US government. As they say in democracies: if you control public opinion, you control the public. And public opinion is formed (and brainwashed) through the social media on top of mainstream media. Having control over one of the biggest social media outlets gives Musk a lot of power.

Bitcointalk on the other hand is a forum for discussion not for forming the public opinion. It is not giving Musk any benefits even if he had control over it. Not to mention that bitcoiners already have a negative opinion of him because of his FUDs and altcoin scams.

[Marvell1]

First, you need to tell why do you think he will buy back bitcointalk? he is an entrepreneur not a pure investor or a crypto trader. Twitter can be profitable and a lot of benefits for him but with bitcointalk definitely not. In other words, twitter and bitcointalk are not the same, bitcointalk is not a place that can make a profit for someone's business but twitter was created for that purpose.

Bitcointalk is not for regular people actually. You'll know this if you try introducing this forum to local forums. Unless Elon has his own Bitcoin casino.

Bitcointalk is not for regular people actually, what do you mean? I think the forum is for all those, who love crypto and especially bitcoin. It's not just for gambling enthusiasts.
