You're right. Psaki talked about reforming it, not repealing it. It is interesting that the reforming talk all of a sudden happens from Dems after Elon buys Twitter.
You have your facts wrong again. Biden has been talking about it for at least 2 years.
If that's the case, I was unaware. What has he been saying?

It feels like he will end up selling it or taking it public again and lose about 25B on it.

I thought he was going to sell his stock to and tank the value? The old Pump & Dump.

Is Musk going to be a pauper in the near future?

His family owned gemstone mines under apartheid in South Africa. He always will be richer than the vast majority of people in the world. He was born into it.

I'm not sure that he purchased Twitter to make himself money, because it seems to be a loser from the outset in his financing of it. I guess I wouldn't worry myself about what he can and can not afford, and I doubt that he would immediately sell or take it public if he's going to lose that much money right away.

who is worried if he loses money or how much he can afford?

Sorry, but I thought you were, since you had posted multiple times about how much money he is going to lose. My mistake.

Stating an opinion of what I think might happen is not an indication of my concern level if it does happen.

Musk seems to thrive on attention. I think he just does whatever makes him feel good. Buying Twitter put him front and center in the news. I wouldn’t put it past him to intentionally destroy Twitter just because he can not caring how much it costs.

Well he leveraged Tesla stock to get the loan to buy Twitter. So if Twitter drops a lot in value, it impacts Tesla, too.

He's already been publicly criticizing people in Twitter management who work on content moderation, which has led to them being threatened and harassed. Great leadership already by the new boss.

And he isn't even the boss yet. I know I have said this before, but I know people personally that have worked for him directly. The way he acts on Twitter is the way he acts in person. He is impulsive, mean, and always trying to show he is the boss. Very much the product of a spoiled child that had more money and power than anyone should have at any age, much less as a child.
