Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought Twitter, the largest social media, for $44 billion.
However, Twitter's actual market capitalization is only $39 billion.
Musk crazy?
As the founder of several large public companies, Musk is not crazy, but does not like to do what the public "should do".
Musk's Tesla brand is the No.1 in the global electric vehicle industry, and no one has surpassed it. Its SpaceX (Us Space Exploration Technology Company) is a manned space rocket that sends people to the sky. Commercializing a manned rocket, he was the first in the world, and probably exclusive for many years to come.
What does Musk want to do?
Musk said when he bought Twitter to make it more free speech.
Before that, Musk's Twitter account was blocked several times. By the way, Trump created his own social app in order to achieve his own freedom of speech. If you are interested, you can search for it yourself.
Is that all there is to it?
Maybe just one of them. Or rather, a very small point. What Musk has to do is not to follow these "established" rules, but to change the way of play and establish new rules.
At this point, he's a charismatic lunatic!
He said, "I don't argue with people now, because I start to realize that everyone can only think on the basis of his cognitive level, and when someone tells me 2+2=10, I will say, you are very good." ”

Jeff Bezos is the founder of Amazon, the world's largest online bookstore.
Here's a speech he gave at Princeton University, "Choice matters more than talent."
"Talent and choice are different. Cleverness is a gift, while kindness is a choice. Gifts come easily – they are innate, after all. The choice is not easy. If you're not careful, you may be seduced by talent, which can hurt the choices you make. ”
"I don't think I'm sorry for failure, but I'm upset about making a decision without putting it into practice."

Two years ago, I wrote an article titled "People in the Echo Chamber Are Losing the Ability to Think" (click to view).
In this article, we talked about the concerns about the big data investment you like (that is, precise positioning, precise delivery). Big data uses algorithms to push the information it thinks you're interested in into your phone, computer, pad, and everything else's visual interface, making you "addicted."
In the "information cocoon," you lose the opportunity to engage with diversity and the possibility of a comprehensive understanding of the world.
For example, whether Shanghai is sealed or not has triggered a lot of debate on the Internet. If you look at it a little, you will find that many people don't know what they are talking about.
They are the ones who envy Shanghai and scold Shanghai for being closed.
People, or those people, but words (opinions), there has been a 180-degree turn.
The reason is that their logic, opinions, and ideas are all based on "self-interest."
Good for yourself, good;
Unhelpful to oneself, bad.
With such logic, it is understandable to lash out and insult on the Internet, and to be a keyboard man can be understood.
However, with such remarks, I don't know how many people around me will be infected. Such as husband/wife, children, friends, co-workers?
With such spare time, it is better to read more books, study more business, participate in more courses, make more phone calls to the elderly, or take more children on a study tour, don't think that you don't have to study when you graduate, become a parent, and be a leader.
Don't say no conditions, can't do it.
Mencius said: "Yes or no, not also." ”
It's not to do it, it's not to be able to do it.
