Gab cannot possibly deliver the customer base that twitter can. Gab is also open source, so why pay for Gab?
From a technical perspective Gab sounds like a better thought out platform.
What next???
Maybe “MySpace” will offer him a great deal too.

Look, I’m a member of Gab but they’re the RC cola of social messaging to Twitter’s Mexico Coke.
Nice try.

What’s that old saying?
Drag a billion dollars through a trailer park and you never know what you’ll turn up.
That’s not the saying?
$2 billion for a board seat on Gab?
I’m thinking that’s going to be a strong pass.
Musk should take it then any other platform that wants to join his stable, then another and another, it’s a way to buck the current system and would drive the left nuts.
The value of a social media site is its user base, not the software.
But I want to buy Twitter and it’s my money.
Just my personal opinion, but I spend very little time on Gab. All I find is politics, religion and people trying to sell me something or other. Very little or zero humor or things of interest outside of the three named.
Same goes for MeWe and Retalk.
I get enough religion, political discussion plus lots of humor here on Free Republic.
Elon should pay FRee Republic a license fee for the software platform. We would never have a FReepathon again, and Jim could run it exactly as he sees fit. It would be like the McDonald’s brothers running their original 2 restaurants the way they liked while Ray Kroc franchised the whole thing, made billions off the platform, and sent in the brothers their checks while they never had to worry about money ever again.
Always have a backup plan.
This is a badly presented proposal:
1. “equity in the company” is vague
2. “investing $2B” is specific
.
Torba sees and hears Billions of dollars being thrown around and now he wants in on it.
This stupid offer is so white trashy.
