If it is so simple to buy out twitter, why hasn't it been done?


I can think of some reasons.

1. There's <100 billionaires with enough wealth to buy 51% of Twitter. And even for most of them, such an investment would represent a larger share of their wealth than it will for Musk, meaning greater risk.

2. Most just aren't interested. Unlike Musk, who shows a strong affinity for the platform.


It's kinda pricey and not profitable.
