How long before someone on the right tries taking over bluesky

[sir pball]

6. Highly unlikely, BSky is entirely private so there's no real way to take it over.

It's not a public company, with stocks that can be bought out to gain control like what happened with Twitter. It's private; the ownership is divided among several people but the majority stake is held by founder Jay Gruber, who seems like a level enough person that she wouldn't sell out even if someone dangled a several-billion-dollar bag of cash in front of her. I suppose the new administration could flex some fascist muscle and claim some kind of eminent domain malarkey or something, but in a normal society BSky is safe.
