I think you misunderstand Musk's motives for buying Twitter in the first place.

Everything Musk is doing right now, which appears to be driving the company into bankruptcy, is an illusion. The advertisers he's losing don't mean diddly to him. The GOP will pick up the slack when the primary gets in full swing.

A social platform the size of Twitter is the party of the third part in the GOP's attempt at a sedition-less coup. All nice and legal-like.

You don't think Musk entered this deal without expecting big rewards, do you?

"Those rewards have a limited shelf life, "

I didn't say it wasn't a gamble. There are too many unresolved variables to be considered a safe bet. Only that the dots look like they're starting to get in a row.

One of those variables is Florida's "Resign to Run Law." Granted, that's not a deal killer, depending on the odds of course. Florida's newly elected state legislature seems to be in favor of changing the law so DeSantis can have a safe landing if he loses in the primary. It's still a little iffy because the "Resign to Run Law" only deals with municipal elections ~ not State to Federal.

That's probably one of those "variables" DeSantis has to clear up before he can safely announce.
