It's really not. Him making a serious offer and then actually having to buy Twitter was notable tech news. Him musing about Wikipedia is not.
Him musing about Twitter was how it started.
No it's not. He flirted with (and was encouraged to) joining the board of directors, and then called up Jack Dorsey to make a legitimate, and ultimately binding offer to buy the company.
This isn't remotely the same thing. This article does nothing more than feed a troll.
And he joked about it even before that.
And? If he makes a legitimate offer and it goes through, that's potentially tech news.
Taking it seriously is the only way that's even likely to happen, so you're proving my point.
Uh, no. This isn’t a fairy tale where wishes make it come true.
