#1 Funny, but I think he’s wasting his money.

#3 market cap on Buzzfeed is under $100M

about 5% of what it was worth back in 2022 or so

it has had negative net income since it started
somewhere near negative $90M in FY 2023

Interestingly, it seems to me that a conservative Buzzfeed would be a threat to DJT media, which has a market cap of about $7B and lost about the same amount of money in 2023 as Buzzfeed

#4 Flanking maneuver after Elon Musk’s frontal assault on Twitter? Mr. Ramaswamy is much better as a conservative/libertarian investor, free to bluntly state his opinions, than he would have been as a presidential candidate.

#7 We’ll see who DeWine makes Senator. I think he will try for Dolan and settle on LaRose after there is an outcry.

#8 He joked about running when he was in Springfield.
