I wonder if this has anything to do with Elon Musk removing his ban on Twitter.

He’s now got a much larger platform than Parler to spread his hate, which depending on his motivations for the purchase might make the need to buy it redundant.

I also imagine the recent termination of brand deals, and the high amount of child support he’s been ordered to pay can’t help with the financial feasibility of the purchase.

Pretty comical that he’s being forced to pay child support to a billionaire. What’s the logic?

I imagine this to be Kanye discovering he lives in an echo chamber and he can't win 2024, he talked to much shit against the Jews. I get the strategy, be uncancellable, like Trump. Except Kanye did get himself cancelled.

Why buy expensive PR when you're already done?

It's the law. The law uses a formula.

Child support ifs for the child, it has nothing to do with how much money the other parent has.

Sure but once parent A is a billionaire then receiving money from parent B who is also a billionaire is kinda like pushing on a string.

Yeah but why bother having an exception for this?
