Schaub started off things, stating, “You know, I don’t agree with all the stuff that Elon does, but he bought Twitter and I was like God. If he could only buy Instagram and YouTube that would be fantastic”.
He went on, “Hey Elon, keep the trend going dude, get some investors, coz it’s tough to buy Youtube”. Schaub tried to provide some help from his business mind to the $222B business tycoon.
He also stated the reason for his support towards Musk as he mentioned, “quit having them suppress our stuff.” Instagram and YouTube apparently disgusted him due to some reason.

We all know how people aren’t allowed to present their raw opinions on broadcasting platforms. But, if these restrictions slowly start to get applied to independent social media platforms as well, then Schaub would rather give up than walk on their guided narrow path.
