By Daz Go To PostFrom his pocket or from Telsa?Sold a bunch of Tesla stock to make it work plus a ton of debt financing with banks guaranteed against Tesla stock
By Daz Go To PostHow did this even happen?
was he drunk?
No he's just fucking stupid.
So announcing his intention to buy Twitter after all was a ploy to get the lawsuit dropped so he can ultimately walk away like he wants to. Dude is transparent af.

Elon Musk has suggested tensions between China and Taiwan could be resolved by handing over some control of Taiwan to Beijing.
The billionaire’s remarks were published just days after he floated a possible deal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine which drew condemnation in Ukraine.
The world’s richest person told the Financial Times in an interview published on Friday: “My recommendation … would be to figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable, probably won’t make everyone happy. And it’s possible, and I think probably, in fact, that they could have an arrangement that’s more lenient than Hong Kong.”
My recommendation... would be to hand over all of Elon Musk's money to me. In a way that's reasonably palatable, probably wonk make everyone happy. And it’s possible, and I think probably, in fact, that they could have an arrangement that’s more lenient than eating the rich
Is he trying to recoup his money through bankruptcy and then selloff or something?
A cut in employees of that magnitude basically guarantees that the company will die with it. There's no way to keep the infrastructure going off that alone.
Also, ultra ironically it will make the spam problem worse as they'll lack the workforce to effectively deal with it.
RIP I guess.

Hill: It’s very clear that Elon Musk is transmitting a message for Putin. There was a conference in Aspen in late September when Musk offered a version of what was in his tweet — including the recognition of Crimea as Russian because it’s been mostly Russian since the 1780s — and the suggestion that the Ukrainian regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia should be up for negotiation, because there should be guaranteed water supplies to Crimea. He made this suggestion before Putin’s annexation of those two territories on September 30. It was a very specific reference. Kherson and Zaporizhzhia essentially control all the water supplies to Crimea. Crimea is a dry peninsula. It has aquifers, but it doesn’t have rivers. It’s dependent on water from the Dnipro River that flows through a canal from Kherson. It’s unlikely Elon Musk knows about this himself. The reference to water is so specific that this clearly is a message from Putin.https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/10/17/fiona-hill-putin-war-00061894
Now, there are several reasons why Musk’s intervention is interesting and significant. First of all, Putin does this frequently. He uses prominent people as intermediaries to feel out the general political environment, to basically test how people are going to react to ideas. Henry Kissinger, for example, has had interactions with Putin directly and relayed messages. Putin often uses various trusted intermediaries including all kinds of businesspeople. I had intermediaries sent to discuss things with me while I was in government.
feigned shock
By Crusher Go To PostDude has been laying it down in open daylight that he wants the deal to be stopped.Those investors don't fucking care if Twitter bombs later 😂 The current CEO has the best gig in the house. He's about to be rich af and under 40 years old.
People forget we had a whole run of investors/CEOs tanking chains for decades now and picking at the bones. Why should tech be any different.
i like twitter, hopefully he's forced to buy it and tanks it and someone makes a new twitter-esque platform.

What are the odds that he will look through the social media history of every employee and fire any who has said anything negative about him?
By FortuneFaded Go To PostWhat are the odds that he will look through the social media history of every employee and fire any who has said anything negative about him?I'll give you 5 to 2 odds for that.
I'll even bet he'll unveil it as Twitter 2.0 to sweep all the layoffs under the rug.
