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

He also have a duty to himself and his investors to fight to make that price as small as possible.

He was only putting up about 45% of the purchase price himself. The rest was coming from a combination of bank loans and private investors.

"On April 20, Musk disclosed that he had secured financing provided by a group of banks led by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, MUFG, Société Générale, Mizuho Bank, and BNP Paribas, for a potential tender offer to acquire the company.[26][27] The funding included $7 billion of senior secured bank loans; $6 billion in subordinated debt; $6.25 billion in bank loans to Musk personally, secured by $62.5 billion of his Tesla stock; $20 billion in cash equity from Musk, to be provided by sales of Tesla stock and other assets; and $7.1 billion in equity from 19 independent investors"

It's tedious just because you guys are constantly chasing up his brainfarts, you must love their smell :)

I suppose an investment in Tesla is an investment in Musk seeing as the company's value has as much to do with Musk's persona as it does with making cars. The car company alone is struggling to keep up with the big names. Every time Musk does something stupid he erodes his own reputation and by extension that of Tesla. But the mistake here is his own, afaik anyone else putting money behind the bid owes nothing if the deal is broken, it's all on Musk personally.

The biggest thing Tesla have going for them is the fact they're not electric cars; they're Tesla's. Same way you had iPhones, and you had smartphones. Yes, they're one in the same, but the name carries significance in terms of branding and recognition.

The issue is that Tesla appears to be running out of road. More negative issues with the vehicles keep cropping up (significant issues with their self-drive function, door handles, having to reboot the car if the software freezes when parked), and while Steve Jobs was always fairly popular, Musk's name is becoming more toxic. As more car manufacturers catch up to the majority of what Tesla's do (while maybe not including some of the features which are more troublesome), Tesla might not be able to keep as much of a lead as they once had.

Also the Tesla Cybertruck is the ugliest f*cking thing I've ever seen.

at least the amount of bots and fake accounts/followers should come out. if its worse than the 5% they claim, it'll ruin the platform.

and if worse then the 5% they claim, it'll lead to a huge lawsuit by investors that were mislead.

all in all, tis a win for free speech.

Victory at all costs can sometimes end in a spectacular defeat.

I love to see **** people brought down, but I don't believe in karma. Arseholes thrive at the top of the food chain.

How can investors sue themselves. Yes if something was hidden in the accounts recently then newer investors could but this effects virtually all investors so suing is not an option
