I think the only egg on face is currently on his for eating billions in losses on this deal

He paid $44b for what could have been bought on the open market today for probably less than $15b. and he had to leverage his actual good company holdings heavily against it in a pretty shitty rate environment. maximum mumped around and maximum found out.

A good lesson here is when rough ridin' around try not to do it with the Delaware Court of Chancery.

I wonder if the libs will delete the app like they said they would, but we know they won't, because they all said they'd move to Canada if Trump was elected, and they sat on their asses instead.

I read an analysis that said he needs to turn twitter into a profitable company or else he's pretty mumped. I'm interested in seeing how everything plays out.

Maybe his eff up will end up being worse than Zuckerberg's!

musk is going to monetize the nuts out of this thing and he will grift the magas so hard. Otherwise, nothing changes. I'd make a friendly bet he doesn't let trump back on

There is a non-zero chance this will lead to financial ruin for him. Probably not though.

Elon calling for 7:30pm mtgs with 3 hr notice. He isn’t going to fire anyone. He wants them to quit.

Also how can adults call coworkers "tweeps". I lived there for 10 years and knew people that worked at all sorts of companies like that and it still blows my mind

When is Donald coming back?

Feels like I'm not supposed to be reading that. Also, it feels like someone violated fiduciary duties.

This is a very good question.

chum1 · « **Reply #643 on:** October 27, 2022, 07:36:03 PM »

I could use it as an excuse to get off twitter. My newest thing is watching hipster barbers give haircuts on Instagram.

Pete · « **Reply #644 on:** October 27, 2022, 08:02:36 PM »

Do you think Elon brought his own security team in with him immediately?

Pete · « **Reply #645 on:** October 27, 2022, 08:04:29 PM »

I would. I’d bring a freaking boat load. He’s planning on firing 70% of their employees, and I bet it works. I bet the god damn Twitter is still tweeting after he does it.

DreamWeaver69 · « **Reply #646 on:** October 27, 2022, 08:54:46 PM »

Yup! And Twitter is the #1 use by libs to send their message. I get why they’re super mad and enraged by it. Big loss for the boys in blue today.

DreamWeaver69 · « **Reply #647 on:** October 27, 2022, 08:59:02 PM »

Thinking you own all media platforms other than Fox News (who Dems want cancelled) went against their platform. They want clear dictatorship with no questions asked. I feel like I’m watching V for Vendetta.

steve dave · « **Reply #648 on:** October 27, 2022, 09:05:13 PM »

wacky, I don’t think this crusade you are on recently is, like, “good”. Just a bud talking to bud here.
