I hope he realizes that's not how it works. Companies own domains they don't use for this exact reason. Hell, most major companies own hundreds of misspelled versions of their domains across many TLDs for user safety.

Like he cares. He bought it for money and political reasons. And now, because of piss poor decisions, the company has been devalued from $44 billion it is now only worth about $4 billion. What makes it so sad is a lot of online companies are following suit thinking they can do what he couldn’t.

He bought it because he made a joke that then became legally binding.
