    Giving Elon 500 million to make billions seems like a good deal.

        Kinda yea. Financials aside, you invested penny’s on the dollar to advertise a message of division without having to really involve yourself.

        Musk’s own bigotry is doing the work for you…

        The article claims that they didn’t care about the possible profits of Twitter.

        These investors would have either made money trough indirect means (keeping the eyes of the world off their shady stuff), or would use it to get a lot more power (think of misinformation strengthening their regimes) and many other tactics.

        When these big boys play this game, there often isn’t a 1:1 relation.
