zackster because pretending to buy Twitter is exactly the type of thing Elon Musk would do.
Well yeah, and Ye had been talking a fair bit with Elon recently so might be trying to copy him.
zackster He perpetually creates stunts to keep his sham stock price up.
And Ye is the kind of person who perpetually creates stunts to keep his name in the headlines…
zackster Also, lets just say he is actually a willing catspaw for Candase Owens and George Farmer. How much could Kanye really expect to get paid for that? Mid 6 figures at most, imo. He thinks that kinda pay day is beneath him, and he doesn’t currently need that kind of money.
Maybe not if he thinks it’ll give him more influence? He greatly admired and respected Virgil Abloh when he became Head Men’s Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton, because Ye saw it as a rare example of a black person gaining significant power and influence as a creator and Ye wants there to be more similar examples in the world of business (and that’s despite it not being as if Abloh had actually bought LVMH). So Ye might be willing to accept a similar kind of directorial offer if it was made to him at Parler.
The clout and ability to shape the company and be a black role model in tech could clearly be attractive for Ye alone, even if any pay might be relatively insignificant to him. And as I say, the pay could also be in share options as well, which could be something Ye could delude himself in to thinking he could eventually make worth something.
