With the way he's running this, I'm a bit confused as to why he didn't just buy Truth Social directly. Wouldn't have cost him nearly as much.

He bought the users. Elon knows that people are lazy and will not change websites.

Remember the 50% number is just what he was comfortable with publishing to the public

We have no reason to believe his public statistics

50% is just what he's admitting to. Not sure how easily that number can be verified, but if someone told me that the actual numbers were much, much worse... I wouldn't bet against them.
