Billionaires should not have sole ownership over one of the largest communication platforms in the world.

$44 Billion dollars could do so much good in this world.

@_astronoMay His 9% stake has already appreciated in the order of hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions at this point. Remember, this is a buy from only a couple of weeks ago. The world we live in today…

@_astronoMay A billionaire bought it from other billionaires. lol. Those previous billionaire owners acted to cover up political scandals, so the new owner is likely a massive upgrade.

@_astronoMay I agree with the first sentence, but the second is misled. Whatever institution lent him $44 billion expects being paid sizeable interests or get ahold of whatever collateral Musk provided as a guarantee for the loan. This bank money was earmarked for an investment yielding returns, not for doing anything good.
