The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

Yea, the price of the stock is in no way justified based on the actual revenue of their product. It's pure hype being brought on by a man who has no business being as rich as he is. The only reason they keep him around is because he has a near Jobsian reality distortion field. If that field ever collapses, Tesla will likely go bankrupt. Frankly, the stock market is broken when a company like Tesla is worth more than Toyota.

The stock market has always been broken. I suppose once upon a time it was passed off as "democratizing" the business world, but in practice it just meant people treat companies that we rely on for essential goods and services like poker chips in a giant casino, and that's on a good day.

Doesn't Elon just straight-up own a solid majority of the company's stock himself? If he does, I suppose he can set whatever price he wants by just saying "This is what I would be asking for it if you were to buy it from me personally."

He has more shares than anyone else but it's still under 50%. This deal would put him at around 25% stake. He's been around that level before but he sold a bunch of shares to buy Twitter.

Time was, people would get kicked out and blacklisted for that sort of thing. And by "time" I mean "barely a decade ago", if memory serves.

Good job, fElon! This will surely get Netflix to cancel a show that ended two years ago!

These guys don't really understand how boycotts work, do they?

These things only have lasting impact when conducted on the premise that folks otherwise WANT to support the thing being boycotted. It's saying, in essence, "we don't like this thing you're doing, but if you change your ways, we're happy to come back."

Simply punishing the thing for something it stopped doing two years ago doesn't give them incentive (or, indeed, ability) to change in hopes of luring you back. Without that incentive, it means nothing.

I assume the idea was to get them to remove it from the service entirely.

A federal judge has ordered that the administration will have to reveal specifically what clearances Musk had/has, specifically because he boasted about it, as well as his ketamine habits and boasting about meeting Putin.

The top secrets Elon Musk may have had access to: legal experts

Musk’s security access becomes a test case for how far the government can blur lines between public and private power.

Hope they're smart enough to keep records for when the system isn't complicit with those fun calls and letters.
