How pathetic

[Leadeye]

Down the road a ways I see Musk making money on this deal.

It is certainly stupid. Chef Andrew's math sucks. Pretty sure there are more than 300 Americans. I'm guessing he doesn't have a STEM degree.

Math is racist....especially when it does not adhere to the agenda

That is what they were taught in schools, they are not smart enough to come up with this stuff on their own…

Now wouldn't it just be a hoot if Donald Trump became half owner of twitter? I would LOVE to see the left try and process THAT!!!

In the other thread we determined that it would take all of Trumps net worth to buy 10% of twitter…

This is an interesting battle, but likely doomed to fail because once the left breaks out Vanguard itself you know they are serious about stopping this action. Learn more below.

I suspect Elon's real game all along was to show the world how TPTB acts to defend their levers of social control.

I suspect it’s more so troll TPTB and to make bank on the other end. Stock price would rocket after the dewokification as more people sign up and it becomes a new hot place to be.

I thought it was more a 'pump and dump' to profit at their expense as well as drive down their market cap

I'm just happy that the richest man on the planet appears to be largely conservative.

 

[BigMoose]

nothing to see here, this is SOP when faced with a take over.

"Such a move is a common way to fend off a potential hostile takeover by diluting the stake of the entity eying the takeover."

Why doesn't he just start his own social media?
Many many people will follow.

One big one not often mentioned is have any of you looked into the number of patents the big guys own? Thousands! Cannot imagine anyone could start a social media company, no matter how rich, and not run into the patent wall.

All the more reason for EM to acquire one that already works. He is the richest dude on earth. He'll end up owning it and then all of Twitter's nasty little secrets will be aired like dirty laundry.

He is definitely not conservative but he does love liberty and the 1st amendment!

 

[wtburnette]

any chance he buys it just to shut it down?

Not from what he's said in interviews. He thinks it's vitally important to civilization to have a platform for open and honest conversation.

He seems to be much more :gasp: libertarian than conservative.

I've watched Elon since the SpaceX startup. I've studied his history. I believe his main interest is humanity's success, conservative or perhaps Libertarian. He's obviously one of the smartest guys on the planet, and just my opinion, a superhero.

Anyone else convinced that Elon has his own secret robot army????

Elon Musk Says He Could Make "Catgirl" Sex Robots If He Wanted To

During a lengthy and freewheeling conversation with TED's Chris Anderson last week, Musk said that 'catgirls" are "probably inevitable."

They've got some interesting patents. Like you said, all the companies, but especially the big boys have patents for their supposedly unique contributions to computer science.

And our patent system is broken. Many patents were issued for typical business processes that were converted to the digital world. How many businesses had a map on the wall and pins marking their customers on that map? That was issued a patent. The big players including Zillow and Realtor.com pay a fee to put locations on a map. Total BS in my book, this is just a common business practice…
