      then is trying to lose as little money as possible from this ordeal

      Bro he could have just bought it and done nothing and he would have been better off. I don’t have the same read that you do. My read is that he had specific strategic political interests in buying it and the money/ value/ revenue shit is secondary.

          But the point remains that doing nothing would have brought more value so I agree that he isn’t trying to recoup lost money here

      Nah, his entire goal was to take something away from the woke liberals and journalists and make it a Safe Space for fascist snowflakes.
