I wonder if they tried to buy wordle... What's the hottest social network they could buy?



Twitter (and I'm only half joking). Clubhouse. Discord. Pinterest.


I'm still hoping that Google buys Pinterest somehow and then let it rot.


It sort of feels like it is rotting all on it's own. It's about as interesting as google image search at this point.


When is Clubhouse running out of money?


TikTok


"...they could buy"

Nope


Seems like FB has about $55b on hand, but their market cap is ~$800b vs Bytedance's highest valuation of $425b.

Without taking into account fiscal responsibility, it's in the realm of possibility that FB could buy TikTok with credit + options.


Money is only one part of the equation, You think regulators in either country will sign off on a deal like that ?


Nope. China won't no way.


Discord then


That ship sailed a long time ago.
