Lots of libs squealing like spoiled piggies for a Tesla boycott now. They still haven’t realized that the normal world falls in love with everything they hate.

I fully support right-wingers buying electric cars

I don’t see a problem with it. Lithium mining is just as bad for the environment as oil could ever hope to be, and we all know Conservatives hate that damn environment.

Also… Musk said that his ideas for making money on Twitter do not rely on ad dollars so the amount of bots should not matter that much.

Yeah he wanted to put Twitter behind a paywall. Brilliant idea when you’re basically buying the global public square.

Twitter’s stock is trading around $37. Musk offered $54.20 for shares.

That difference in price should tell you how certain investors are at the deal going through.

At that price

Still wondering what the great revenue stream would be outside of advertising.

Umm, charging commercial users and governments per tweet.

I think I have some money free in my robinhood account. Might be worth a gamble…

You don’t spend much time on Twitter, do you?

Wrong that’s not how it works…the delta between the prices is the market pricing in the probability of this deal not happening which right now is tilting that way.

Those making that bet could be right or they could be wrong.

Also factors in the possibility he gets it for less.

Anyone done the math on what the price would have to fall to in order to make it worth losing the billion to ditch this deal and tender a new lower offer?

I doubt that he would get a second shot at this

There are 764,180,000 outstanding shares. $1.31 a share would be $1B.

Elon screwed up and wants an out. Simple as that.

Can we still get Trump back on the Twitter? Miss that guy…

That pretty much says it all. If the truth be known, does anybody here … any of you … really care whether Musk buys control of Twitter or not?

Not all that much, whether he ultimately buys it or not he caused some inconvenient truths to slip out in the process.
