Jesus christ what a fiasco.
I was dabbling with put options mid day and got lucky with that selloff, cashed in a fair bit, didnt see the news that caused it.
I quickly soured on my good mood when I read the news and realised that old fuckhead Trump would probably be able to tweet again. Lets hope Elon doesnt get rid of the block / muted functions, I lost brain cells every time that idiot was in my feed.

It'll be fun to see if my account gets unlocked after I made the statement that pedos deserve the rope in a just society.

Did the text messages prompt this sudden change?

He called for peace and they laughed at him...

Between the text messages and the entirety of the democratic world shitting down his throat for his horrible take on Ukraine I think he decided to change the headlines himself this time and just accept the inevitable on his own terms.

Probably not, you just take every opportunity to trash talk about this guy, like you were a better person, you're not. What happened to that smirk you had when He said we wouldn't buy?

It can both be true that Twitter is a company and can moderate as it sees fit, and be a bad thing that it gets bought by someone who is a bad moderator. The second part, though, remains to be seen as far as how it turns out.

He spent weeks trying everything he could to get out of it just like I said he would lol Nice try though.
This is him trying to change the narrative and take attention away from his recent missteps. It's PR 101.

It would honestly save Elon a lot of time and effort if the mentally insane Twatter users voluntarily deleted all their accounts instead of making Elon work hard to clean the place out.The REE headcases are vowing to delete their accounts. Bitch you don't have the willpower to put down the E-crack.

There are many shitty and fine people from both sides on Twitter currently. After everything with Musk's acquisition and ownership, there will still be many shitty and fine people from both sides on Twitter. The most important thing is that shitty people will still be on Twitter so we all can find someone to trigger us if we choose.

I would be shocked if he did. Once he owns it he will want to at minimum maintain it's value if not increase it. Announcing that a significant portion of your users are bots would have the stock plummeting.Rejoice! Maybe he'll reveal Twitter's bot numbers now

LMAO imagine thinking a privately held company has publicly traded stock which has a market visible price.
Quick, someone tell me the stock price of SpaceX right now!

Are you saying that Musk, businessman, is not going to care about the value of a business he own after he buys it? Of course he will care. He is not going to sabotage a 40+ billion dollar investment no matter how rich he is.
And advertisers will care about the number of real users because they want their products in front of as many eyes as possible.

All I was pointing out is that you were stating your argument on an incorrect statement.. Your argument is still valid though, but its better if its not associated it with something that isn't accurate.

I am curious to see what he really does.. Its one thing to make all these big plans when you don't own shit.. Now he just spent 44BN on a social media platform. Lets see what big changes he really implements, and how the consumers react to it.

Yeah I caught that. It's what I get for making off the cuff posts at 1am. My point is that even if he gets in there and sees a sizable bot population like he predicted I don't think he will shout it from the rooftops. I have no doubt he will put things into place that will reduce their number though and I am sure he will be shouting that from the mountaintops.
Then again I could be wrong. He could get in there and announce the official bot numbers/innactive accounts numbers out of spite regardless of the repercussions. It wouldn't be the first time that he made a public statement that he regretted later.

What time is it?
I'm pretty sure he doesn't have 44B in cash so he's going to have to sell off stock for the purchase. This will have ripples far outside of Twitter.

The bubble is real.
Imagine the irony if they all left Twitter and went to Truth or Gettr instead.

Extremist are not the problem.. it’s the corruption and miss use.
Good thing is that now Elon has brought all of that to light by this whole buy out deal that Twitter is a much less effective means to sway popular opinion as it once was. Now it it’s mainly a sad chat board for adult children.

He already sold the stock and secured additional funding some time ago. Only a fraction of the 44b is his own money, by the way.

I do worry for Musk. He's literally the only powerful person in the world who will speak out against mainstream narratives that serve the powerful. That's a dangerous combination. There's a reason most people don't go against the grain when they get to that level.
He's already a thorn in their side, but social media bot farms and other forms of manipulation are a big part of how narratives are controlled. They're not going to like him fucking with that.

What I said was a factual statement. His take was not only moronic but also incredibly ill-informed. His take was at best a pro-russian stance and given the political climate he was a moron for making it. Not only that but the entirety of the take was completely ignorant of the regional politics and the will of the people in the areas concerned. He was rightfully shredded across the board of the internet itself. Not only did the government of Ukraine shit down his throat, but essentially everyone else in the Western world did as well.
TLDR: The dude was buried for it and rightfully so. If the dude wants to spout bullshit then he should stick to the areas that he is actually informed on and not spread uninformed and inarticulate bullshit into the ether.
