Twitter sold for 44B. Tiktok has nearly an order of magnitude more active users and this guy thinks his 500m offer is even in the ballpark?
There must be a misunderstanding on the part of the article writer or it is simply an unfortunately constructed sentence. I mean its obvious that Tiktok can’t be purchased in its fullest for just 500m. The budget seems to be the initial money spent to start this project that goes beyond Tiktok. So the way I understand is, he wants to buy Tiktok (maybe other stuff too) and then integrates it into the 500m project.
That would make more sense. These are all incomprehensible sums of money to me anyways.
But after a second read it kind of sounds like he’s trying to “invent” the fediverse,
Exactly. That’s what I think too. I also was thinking why is this guy not just using Fediverse. Hopefully that guy discovers it soon, because I’m not against super rich people to invest into this system.
his ‘project liberty’ has its own protocol, dsnp (decentralized social networking protocol).
does anything even use it?
