He might, but that’s the whole point of federation - there’s hundreds of other instances (including the one you’re using) that he can’t buy all at once. If one instance gets taken over, Lemmy as a whole is still strong.
Even if he buys the organization developing Lemmy, I have faith the community will fork it and everyone will stop using Musk’s version.
Yeh, if he bought twitter for 44B, and there are 400 instances then that is still 110M per instance if he were to do that again.
Even 10% of that amount is more than an instance is worth.
Sales can be made pretty quickly when they are massively overvalued.
You think he wouldn’t buy lemmy.world?

Some instances’ admins are not so easily bought! I hope, at least.
Meh, I say sell the insurance. It is relatively easy to spin up a new one. Let Elmo waste money.
