You can't buy mastodon, the software is licensed AGPL and the network is run by it's users. You could buy stewardship of the software and the trademark if it's registered, like google did with android, but you never own GPL licensed software, only the users do.

All successful people continuously repeat what worked for them in the past.

I get your point, I just figured I'd point out your misunderstanding of mastodon specifically, to you so you can better understand it. It isn't a just a twitter alternative.
