 All right, so Musk now, as of today, I think, as of this morning, owns Twitter. He has bought it for whatever price he paid for it, debt holders in the tank for it, the other equity providers other than Musk, have bought it. They are in. They're in. I think this is terrific. First of all, I think this is a fantastic example for the world, not that the world really learns from examples, but it's always good to have an example. It's a great example for the world on how markets solve this so-called problem of limited speech and platforms. You don't like the restrictions the platform has on speech, then buy it. And that's what Elon Musk is doing. He's buying. And you say, well, Elon Musk is rich. Other people couldn't do it. Well, other people could get together. They could form a group to buy it. They could take on more debt. They could use leverage buyouts. There are lots of ways in which sophisticated investors can buy something even when they're not as rich as Elon Musk is rich. So I think it's amazing. It's wonderful that he bought it, whether it'll be successful or not. I don't know, but that's not the issue. The issue is that it's really cool to see the problem, supposed problem, and I'm not sure there is a problem, supposed problem of Twitter having too restrictive a say in what people could say on that platform, that problem going away by basically somebody like Elon Musk buying Twitter. Now, it would be interesting. If everybody who's cheering Elon Musk buying Twitter and saying this is great. This is a great, you know, grateful. This is this should be good. This should be should allow to go through because this is private property and it's great because because the far left is is yelling and screaming and really pissed off because this saying, wait a minute, it's the public square. How can Elon Musk now own it? It's privately owned. And he's going to limit our speech. He's going to constrain us. That's the left yelling and screaming because Elon Musk is supposedly associated with the right. Imagine. And the right is saying, Oh, no, no, no, don't do that private property. But imagine if if if just so as both Twitter. Oh my God, with Trump and everybody else be flipping out and yelling and screaming, even if by the way, just so committed to expanding speech and having more points of view and returning Trump and having everybody on the platform, just because it was somebody on the left who bought it, people would be flipping out and yelling and screaming and being upset. I mean, the people on the right this time, the people on left would be embracing it. I mean, it's amazing how much a people's opinions, how much of people's attitude is dictated by where they are on the tribal on the tribal, you know, Venn diagram or tribal maps map, which seems to determine more than anything else. West, thank you. West just supported the show with 50 bucks really appreciated. He can't stick around, but he wanted to support us. That's wonderful. Thank you, West. All right. So Elon is now in control. A lot of said he wants to expand a viewpoints. Of course, one of the first things that happened when Elon took over Twitter this morning or was it yesterday? He basically fired the CEO, which makes sense. He fired the CFO, which again, probably makes sense. And he's any fired the legal counsel and the people responsible for any kind of content moderation, they were all fired. So you know, so they're all they've all been escorted out of the office, they're all gone. Elon Musk is now officially in charge over there. He is the CEO, CFO, CRO, Chief Content Officer. Jack was not on the payroll. Jack hasn't been on the payroll. What for a year, two years? Jack hasn't been on the payroll in a long time. Jack is gone and has been gone for a long time. At least a year. So Elon Musk has cleaned house in terms of laid everybody off. He's declared himself to be the chief twit. Elon Musk humor. He is and he is now basically running shop. He's committed to laying off a lot of people. At some point, there was talk about 75% of the people of the people, but but it looks like it's gonna be significantly less than that. But but there's going to be a lot of layoffs, a lot of turnover, a lot of rehiring, a lot of new appointments, they're going to have to hire a lot of new people for the C-suites. Now Elon Musk is excellent at hiring people. Remember, Elon has started and run and in a sense own a variety of different companies. I mean, he can do that because he has delegated and he's very good at delegating the actual running of the business and running aspects of the business to a variety of different people. He's from everything I hear. He's excellent at hiring quality people and leaving them alone and letting them run the place. This is why he can get so much done. This is why he is so productive and so so efficient. So Musk is an extraordinary businessman in his ability to run multiple businesses and do so so well and and hire extraordinary people that can be left alone to run the businesses for him with his oversight. So you know, so Musk is now taking on this additional role of being CEO of Twitter. We'll see how long he stays CEO and how quickly he hires a CEO basically to run day to day operations over it. Somebody said Jack Dosey. Yeah, Jack Dosey's gone a long time ago, but he is, you know, one thing that's interesting also came out today. Jack Dosey about a year ago, maybe two years ago, said that he was starting a new venture, which was going to be a social media company, a Twitter like company. But it was all going to be on the blockchain. It was all going to be, it was in a sense going to be peer to peer kind of Twitter, I think it's called Blue Sky. And so nobody actually can control the network, the network is is again, you know, I don't know how these things work, but the network somehow is on the blockchain. It's all encrypted. Nobody can control it. Nobody can edit it. Nobody can, you know, take stuff off. You own the post that you put up there. Nobody else owns them. So it sounds like a pretty powerful platform. Twitter like supposedly anyway, Jack Dosey supposedly was was working on this and has been working on this in the background for a few years. He started working on it while he was CEO of Twitter. He saw what was coming in terms of the controls and the pressure and influence that there was placed on Twitter because A, it's for profit and B, so it needs profit to sustain itself and needs profit in order to have capital to continue investment. But here he found a way this Blue Sky supposedly is all done. In some way, it's actually a nonprofit kind of venture where I don't know enough about how it exactly works. But it's anonymous and you know, Twitter, you know, in the blockchain, that's my understanding. Anyway, whatever that means. And supposedly he launched the beta of the product today. The same day that a long mask started with Twitter, Twitter has got its competition from Jack Dosey. So Jack Dosey launched his beta today. Today. Let's see. Yes, some more stuff about must buy Twitter. Let me just say this. So here is a tweet that a long mask tweeted about an hour and a half ago, which I think is interesting. In terms of content moderation on Twitter, here's what the tweet said. Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. No major content decisions are counted in statements will happen before that counts of convenience. So this is fascinating. I told you months ago, the buying Twitter, running Twitter, figuring out what kind of moderation which in Twitter would be is not easy, not straightforward, not simple. And that Elon Musk was going to discover that this is complicated. And this is hard. And that, you know, he trivializes this. And, and, you know, everybody not I don't know that Elon Musk could utilize it, but people trivialize it. Oh, we'll just open everything up. It doesn't work that way. You need content moderation. What does that content moderation look like? Well, now we're going to have a council. By the way, Facebook has a council already has had a council for a year or two or three. I don't know. So now we're going to have a council to decide a content moderation. And we're not going to reinstate anybody until the council convenes. It just seems like, wait a minute, what is all the yelling and nonsense and Houpala and stuff being about? If you're just going to point a content moderating council. So it turns out, even Elon Musk, even Elon Musk thinks that you need content moderation. Go figure. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show.
