He's offering to fork out $150,000 for scientist Peter Hotez to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the topic of vaccines. "This is a debate that you cannot walk away from," Ackman tweeted at Hotez. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who's spent a good chunk of the weekend putting his weight — and his money — behind the prospect of a Joe Rogan-hosted vaccine debate, wants you to know he's not an anti-vaxxer or an advocate for conspiracy theories. "If you are truly interested in saving lives, you need to further the public's understanding of the truth about vaccines," Ackman added. Every day we wait, thousands more will die," Ackman tweeted at the time.

Conservative users uninterested in politics may also avoid the alternative platforms because of other objectionable content they host, according to experts who study the space. “Elon Musk could buy Twitter and say, ‘Trump, you’re back, Kanye, you’re back,’ and then Kanye is stuck owning a relatively defunct, somewhat irrelevant platform,” said Decker.
