I think he’d be better served to just sell it. I don’t know if these things are even on his radar, and from the aggressive cluelessness on display in his editorial trying to justify it, I suspect not. But whatever he was hoping to gain from controlling the Post is no longer going to be accomplished, at this point, whether he realizes that or not. He can either hang on to it as it crumbles and dies, or get rid of it and give it some semblance of a chance at continued life, and get back a little bit of money. Those are the options.
I think from his point of view it’s more like he either makes the media he buys (and their readers) obedient or he destroys the media taking away a chanel of his opposition. Either way he wins. The same works for Musk and Twitter.

I suppose that’s a good point. I don’t actually know how much they make in terms of profit for him to even care about that aspect.
