I think Paul Graham overestimates Musk’s social media influence. He’s powerful on Twitter in large part due to Twitter. Same with Trump, btw. If it were so easy for Musk to recreate the network, why spend 43B on some infrastructure? Musk knows he’s muzzled outside of Twitter.

Because he's not spending $43bn on some infrastructure, but for the >200mn daily users. That's $210 for every user.

That's the point being made rhetorically by the person you replied to, fyi.
