Talking about Vine’s comeback, Ludwig couldn’t ignore Musk and spoke about his recent expenses. The YouTuber claimed the amount of money Musk spent recently was nothing for him.

The 27-year-old further talked about his recent $44 billion move to buy the social media platform Twitter. Ludwig criticized this big buck move as Twitter valued $30 billion on the day he purchased, meaning a loss of around $14 billion. But he then praised Musk for trying to offer more freedom of speech to the Twitter audience. But Ludwig believes in executing this plan, as Musk would lose millions of dollars yearly.

The YouTube streamer talks about the competition for Vine

Later in the video, Ludwig again talked about the return of Vine. It was the pioneer of seconds-long video content. These days many prefer to consume short videos over the usual videos. As a result, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels have skyrocketed in popularity. So, Ludwig claimed Vine would have to compete with these platforms, which also pay a lot of money to their creators for original content.
