So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX

Trump definitely would have threatened to withdraw from NATO if any members supplied weapons to Ukraine. He's on the Russian payroll, he probably would have started talking about putting US troops in Poland to stop people crossing the border.

I have no particular feelings about Biden. It's very difficult in the US to be a "good" president because what people want and what a US president can reasonably deliver are two very different things.

Their primary role is really foreign relations and diplomacy, and in that regard Biden has done a fairly stable job. Looks great next to the complete shambles of his predecessor, but really just "steady" compared to Obama or Clinton, who were far shrewder and more charismatic.

Lol great to see so many triggered leftists on here freaking out this🤣

Elon is certainly a better share holder then some of their questionable lads who literally dismembered a member of the press in turkey

Actually his impeding legal issues is one reason he might have to run and win.

The reality is though he is a busted flush, element of surprise candidate that shock up the 'cuckhold libtards' and devoured the and humiliated the Grand Old Party no longer has that element of surprise. Even discounting all the crazy shít he did when he was in office.

Even his saddo "I won I tell yeah tour" has seen dwindling simpletons attending.

Large amounts of Americans have notorious low attention spans, he is finished as a political candidate, even if you discount his age and health.

He is not even getting any traction on the normal news networks, as his usual attack dogs are all staying quiet just in case they are indicted.

His main rivals in the GOP have exceeded his "brashness" - unlike last time if there is debates it will just be a whole bunch of old rich white fúcks outlandishly insulting each other on stage until it reassembles the outright ridiculousness it would be.

Even if he gets his Twitter account back, tweeting outrageous nonsense to get attention is no longer unique. Everyone is at it.

Trump said the U.S. has a more powerful nuclear arsenal than Russia and that “people shouldn’t be pushing us around.”

He literally is a buffoon.

😕

Musks gambit will be interesting to see how it unfolds- at time of offer it was a ~30% premium on share price, unlikely that the stock will see that level in future. In addition Musk says he will sell all his shares if offer is rejected, so for shareholders its either a big payout now, or a big big loss in value after when share price collapses.

The Board of Twitter say they do not want to sell (Saudi Prince owns a large stake and came out publicly saying no deal), but if they fail to act in the shareholders interests they may be open to litigation should the deal fall through and share price tank.

You can't "win" a nuclear war. 🤭

Not exorable topics. The 2 persons are politically entangled; Musk also has hurt, partisan feelings about the current administration after he was snubbed from an internal combustion engine auto makers summit last year (Musk painted it as being targeted unfairly because he is a Union-Buster). Under the Trump admin, Musk enjoyed lots of special WH access. The topic of him buying Twitter and POTUS 45 are largely the same topic in a number of ways, especially as it relates to Trump being removed from the platform, and possibly restored to the platform in the future.

But I agree I don't know how it got to Russia and Nukes. What.

Tesla builds electric cars exclusively. They don't build cars with ICEs so why would him not being invited be a snub?

fair play to musk. the best thing (or worrisome) is all the twitter staff were given a mental health day off work, that just sums up twitter right now. this says alot about the power of twitter.

based on the below, how can anyone not support musk?

in response to:

think vanguard are the biggest shareholder but musk is the biggest individual shareholder. vanguard represent millions of people's pensions, share portfolios and the like. think there's 2 other funds heavily involved as well.

i dont know a whole lot about this poison pill that is being spoken about, but it seems to be sell more shares to all existing shareholders bar 1. that surely cant be legal?

You seem a bit confused between charities and governments. Charities don't get to set government policy. They just clean up the resulting mess.

How could any charity resolve the root causes of housing or drug abuse or third world hunger?

based on the below, how can anyone not support musk?

The same lad that was begging the Saudis for money not so long ago, or the same Musk who is up to his títs with China?

That Elon Morale compass would make you dizzy wouldn't it? 🤕

if he is playing 5D chess, he will stoke their engineers to destroy all the source code and take the site down permanently , that would be hilarious.

I don't think he, ll buy it as he has most of his money in tesla stocks, other large shareholders do not want him to buy twitter, he just likes to break the rules like a meme lord, he says he does not know if he can buy it. I think he uses twitter as his own pr agency to promote digital coins and the latest tesla products if he sold his stocks now he'd make a large profit I think he's been married 2 or 3 times and now his ex girlfriend grimes is in a relationship with a woman. He' s annoyed because the Sec says his tweets about tesla must be approved by officials at tesla to show they are in compliance with company law Re investments

I think he wants twitter to allow more right wing trolls or idiots to post fake news or he does not understand how moderation works Every social media service had to ban users or remove posts that are extreme, false, violent or racist

Normal people can post on twitter if they

follow the rules and don't post garbage or extreme content eg don't be a moron

he isnt spending 40bn , more like 10bn, another 10bn from investors and borrow another 10bn off the other amounts. He is a 1 man marketing dept which is great to watch. literally doing the work of a 100 people while taking a dump. I dont think this is about turning a profit in a mechanical way though, he sees a way to improve the platform. Even Jack Dorsey has been complaining about Twitter

He does have a great sense of humour!!
