Right? If this guy wanted tictok then why didn't he just buy tictok instead of dumping money into something completely unrelated and then turn it into a shitty competitor for the already established tictok "market."

But yeah, Big Brains will keep telling us Billionaires are Smart People that totally earned their wealth... 🙄

He didn't want a video platform, he wanted to control twitter. Once he had it he had to figure out how to make money.
