    The worry shouldn’t be that Trump’s account may be restored. Don’t necessarily care about that

    What’s more concerning is that right after saying he’d buy Twitter, Musk has been incessantly responding to these conservative grifters like Shapiro, Cernovich, Posobiec, etc and tweeting dog-whistle provocative right-wing memes like an edgy 14 year old. Should tell you where his real intentions and loyalties lie

    this is only true in an economic vacuum and also if you assume competitive-pricing is the sole economic trend which exists at any given time, which is an oversimplification of how markets work. in reality, macroeconomic phenomena and the intersection of legal/governmental influence on the market contribute a lot to pricing (especially if you consider things such as subsidies or public-private divides). the definition of "competition" in relation to a priced product is also not defined by the sole existence of someone in the same market, especially not if there are public sector alternatives

    i agree. it becomes more complicated when government puts their hands in it. but most of the time, more competition cannot solely create higher prices.

    I don’t think it’s that deep, I think he’s trying to win back the right-wing people so they don’t go to Truth Social

    Which, tbh I agree with Musk here, I think they’re better on Twitter than on their own platform like Truth Social where they control the narrative

    can you provide an example where more competition directly increases price

    telecoms and railways being open to competition in western europe in the last decades increased prices mainly because companies needed more budget for marketing and communication they didnt need before

    companies that want to appear as premium/high end will increase their prices every time competitors increase theirs to stay the most expensive, best exemple is apple

    also older companies that won the public's trust because your parents and grandparents know them can increase their prices because people are willing to pay more for them since it's the safest choice, and being the most expensive is also a way to gain the public's trust

    what you just described is branding. apple can charge higher due to brand recognition. iPhones are expensive but PHONES are not. i’m talking about market price.

    telecommunication prices go down due to competition. canada has a duopoly where bell and rogers are the only providers. because of this plans are 20% higher than the states, where there is more competition.

    There was another article from the Founder of Vox that came out today that basically said Trump was right about Tik Tok.

    I saw that and the ACLU statement and asked myself wtf is happening.
