Yes pliz
Guys, I don’t wanna mess up the party, but I could advise to the twitter company think it well, TWICE.
Why??? Because they have to think for long term… I don’t have nothing against Musk, but Elon said that he will put out twitter of wall-street….
The old twitter owner, Dorsey, lost periscope for not to get founds to support it.
Elon can buy all, for a time, but on the future, if he gets tired, or if he will don’t wanna support the platform, or want to sell it, will be the risk of disappearing the whole company… and twitter can dissapear on the future… just to let them think, if they read this comment…
