Not what I was suggesting obviously. It’s just crazy to see him and many others (from both sides to be clear) who can’t help but wring their hands when ever they get the chance to stick it to whoever the other side is. Its this Twitter thing now but don’t pretend this is the only time one side has jumped at the other to really show em. It’s nuts. My initial question to him was why he’s happy when “they” are angry. This has been going on since the beginning of time I’m sure so every once and a while I like to ask somebody if this is something they like. I’d ask why and be curious to talk it out but you see how that usually goes. The civil war reference is just that. Two side of the same coin racing each other to the bottom. Tell me how this ends well for anyone.

I know, presidents son leaving videos of him smoking crack, banging hookers, and talking about funneling money to his old man. Totally not relevant or newsworthy.

Do tell what other things do you think The president should keep barred from social media?
This thread is about Elon Musk. Not sure what the fuck you're on about.

It's actually a terrible deal for either side that wins it.

Twitter can easily fend off this attempt as Elon purchasing. It is not in the best interest of all the shareholders. Can easily place a poison pill to maintain the vision of the company however they want. And no matter what somebody's going to sue the Twitter leadership.

Elon for his part doesn't actually want to purchase this and it's the typical sleight of hand like accepting Bitcoin during bad news from China and then suddenly realizing that Bitcoin isn't very environmentally friendly so we're not taking it anymore. But don't worry guys, we're going to take it again in the future. It's all wolf tickets.
If Elon wins the deal, which he has no intent to do so as and has already started making all the overtures in preparation for selling off his stock, then he does not have the cash to purchase the company. He would have to sell all 50 billion dollars worth of Tesla stock or go to debt financing from a bank which seems like a bad purchase or go get more Saudi money in partnership. None of those options are very good. And when the deal does fall through and then Elon uses his as excuse to sell off his stock (as he said he would and that he is already planning to sell off) he will either use it as a bludgeon for the rest of his days to troll the leadership or quit Twitter in a very public display to create a competing entity at a fraction of the 50 billion dollar offer.

The hostile takeover is a personal brand creation. It's not a real purchase attempt and already has outs for Elon. But it does put the Twitter leadership in a very difficult position in fending it off.

Lol. How long did it take you to find that gif and post it. Be honest.

I guess if your accusation is “look at this guy, he doesn’t want to constantly hate another group of people“ then ya…

What about the Quebecois?

Lol.

Musk has bought himself a 44 billion headache. I say bought. Its Saudi money that is funding it.

once he starts banning people for free speech ( racist speech ) he gets hit from the fox news people.

he has killed his brand.

These people are like Putin in a way. He has no one left to tell him ‘what the fuck are you doing?’

Brilliant move

While the takeover has been cheered by his followers, Mr Trump on Monday told Fox News he had no plans to re-join the platform and would instead stay on his own social network, Truth Social.
Another failed business venture by Trump.

And all them Maga kids were so excited for his return. All those salty tears.
