X’s customer base is HUGE. The bigger the customer base, the more value is provided to new users. It would be very difficult to build a similar user base with a new company,
It’s a little like ebay was. The more users it had, the more value it gave to new customers—both sellers and buyers. That’s why products like this generally end up with a semi-monopoly when they are the first successful company in the space.
Plus, it was obvious that X had a huge amount of dead wood which meant that cost cutting was going to be easy.
Finally, by buying X, he got access to to shenanigans by the DOJ et al to bully social media into censoring information that doesn’t fith the deep state narrative.
Any one who reads Matt Taibi’s expose of the twitter files in that regard would have to be willfully blind not to be incandescently outraged.
And finally, he ended X’s role in censoring people whom the deep state did not like.
