TIME
Marc Beinoff, the billionaire CEO of Salesforce, and his wife Lynne, purchased TIME in 2018 for $190 million.

So all these leftist dribbling mouths being upset about this is that it is an important. tectonic shift that should have very positive results.
I am just upset Musk is not going to get his hands on the management of Twitter for 6 months. That is very bad. No time to correct things before the election
