Twitter Takeover

You know it is a good rub when the libtards continue to post shit about musk in a negative way.

Imagine if you will, a platform in which both liberal and conservatives are treated the same way with respect to free speech.

@Mickey

A HUGE amount? No.

An amount? YES.

What is interesting is Musk is going to learn, like the others in the world, that killing bots is akin to playing a game of whack a mole. Sometimes there will be HUGE amount of moles that you can whack, sometimes there are not. But it never ever ends.

Nah I will delete the others. SLS fucking up as usual this morning and stuck in limbo

A big percentage of accounts on twitter were Bots. So nice to have real fact checkers twitter now. Must is going to play a huge roll on De class and drops.

“If anyone doesn't like it, can't they just go build another one?”

Couldn’t have Musk just “build another one”? Confused?

DTH post was so good he had to repeat it.

I'm not sure I'm understanding all the Progressive angst at recent events at Twitter. If anyone doesn't like it, can't they just go build another one?

:-)

Amazed at the librard meltdown now that Musk took over Twitter

Are the Karen’s on here afraid that people will now have opposing views that truly reflect free speech?

Are the Karen’s afraid that radical leftist will now be censored as those on the right have been censored?

Hollywood Karen’s leaving Twitter, please take it a step further and move to Canada and see if they will tolerate your bullshit!

Run Karens Run

No, I do not think it will be fraud. I think there will be legislation not allowing him to do what he has done. Contractually, there is probably already provisions for people to get their money back. But if he is publically stating that the vehicles will be out in X time and conistently misses it, that is what I think they will fix. The government could do things such as force the funds into an escrow account that is controlled by a third party. Tesla could not touch the cash, the buyer could pull the cash if the delivery time is not met and the escrow is covered in BK.

I agree that most people are not going to pay for twitter. FB and Google has shown that people are ok getting services for free as long as they are the customer :) I remember when FB went public. They had to announce the valuation of a user. It was under $5 per user per year. Today, last I checked it is over $100.

I am not sure about the wealth issue. I have argued that Tesla has a huge market advantage that other car makers do not. One is the apple cult like following. But the major one is the supercharger network. Imagine selling the car and the gas! That is what Tesla has done. If I were GM, I'd invest like a MoFo in the GM charger network. Now, fortunately, TSLA got the market to pay for that and the PE ratio shows that. GM would have a tougher time, but it is sellable to the market. TSLA is slightly ahead of the other car makers in automation. What TSLA is not good at is volume sales. They started in the high end price point and are really staying there. The other car makers can hit all the price points.

First thing..... could be accused of and/or charged with fraud for not delivering the cars as promised.

Then, pay back CASH to the people and corps that paid deposits.

Then look at all of the advertisers that have bailed or threatening to bail. Any auto maker gonna advertise on a platform owned by an auto maker????

Even the average Joe Twitter acct holder would scoff at paying 2-10 bucks per month for unverified accounts without the blue checkmark.

And..... since he wants to make Twitter lean politically to the Right, the people and corps on the Left are gonna bail.
We might be looking at MySpace 2.0???

I can't see this dude being the major holder of Twitter 3 yrs from now. He's gonna sell stocks left and right.

He'll still be rich, but won't be able to claim the Top 5 in the World in about 2-3 yrs from now.

@Flip

1. The admin does talk to Musk. They just do not invite his ass for public things.

1. If you were a shareholder of Tesla it would matter what Musk's actions are. Rember the whole concept of fiduciary responsibility. The board has a responsibility as well.

Consumers are finicky. It takes a long time to build up trust, it takes a minute to destroy it. Musk has a lot of walls closing in on him regarding Tesla. The state of CA is going after Tesla for claims regarding FSD. I think the states/feds are looking into the practice of taking deposits and not delivering within a period of time. Tell me about those Tesla Semis, Cybertrucks, Roadsters that they took cash for and have not delivered :) I guess Tesla is the ultimate IndieGoGo participant.

I am not going to judge how Musk does with Twitter for a little bit. I think he is going to be driven to get his cash back. He has mentioned that they are looking at charging $20 a month for 'authenticated' accounts and that there are 400k of those. Assuming that he gets 100% that is a whopping ~$100mm a year (rofl) He is sucking up to advertisers which is interesting because as the CEO of Tesla he has made comments against advertisers. He has made comments about PR firms and ad agencies and bad they are. Now he needs them.

I think he is looking at a 3 year window before he pushes Twitter back into the public arena. That gives him 12 quarters to turn the shit around and for the market to be OK with it. Will he have pulled enough cash and gotten enough on the IPO to get his cash back? That is the $44 bn question.

@ea, I agree, Tesla will be affected by this I think. One way or another, not saying it's gonna really matter though in the end. And for sure there are trips to Delaware for him now which is only a good thing. The fact that this administration doesn't talk to him is insane. Especially when it comes to EV's

Mickey

I ain't the one making claims that this is a movie and that it is all coming to a climax. YOU are the one.

You are a follower of a cult.

You believe something that has yet to ever be accurate.

You are better off saying that you got a message from the mosquito when it bit you and that ____ is going to happen. That, interestingly, seems to have a better chance of being believable.

LMAO

EA , knows everything . Just ask him .

Fuck EA, You tell me, you seem to know everything, so Ill let you tell us.

Are we at the intermission, beginning or nearing the end of the movie?

Musk has lost a lot of his paper wealth, but is still incredibly wealthy. I still think he will see the ramifications of his Twitter decisions with Tesla.

Piss off China? Fine, the government will kick Tesla out and help push BYD more.

Piss off India? Fine, the government will kick Tesla out help Tata more.

Piss off Germany? Fine, the government will just make Tesla's life hard and support VW and Mercedes more.

This is why the shareholders of Tesla are pissed and nervous.

TSLA shares are nearly 50% of the 52-week high.

TSLA did an interesting pseudo-dividend a little bit ago. To me, this was an interesting way to pay a huge dividend to Musk!

Tesla did a 3:1 split on price, but gave 5:1 on shares. That was a dividend play basically. The shares were at $900 when the split hit, so people would effectively be in at $180. The stock is at $220 right now. Guess who owns the most shares of TSLA? Musk. Guess how he helped fund his Twitter purchase? TSLA.

Something tells me that Musk will be spending more time in Delaware in the next year.

Believe me, Musk knows exactly what he is doing. He is a huge part of this movie.

Mickey

Interesting how Musk fired a few key people within hours of meeting them, claiming 'cause' so he would not have to pay for their golden parachutes. I guess he really likes litigation.

Musk is demanding from managers a list of people to fire before Nov 1 to ensure their bonuses do not vest on Nov 1.

I think Musk is going to keep quite a few employment lawyers busy.

Just think of all those people who thought they were doing right by the world when they purchased their Tesla, are now realizing they helped Musk raise the cash to purchase Twitter.

By the way, wasn't there some in these forums who swore Elon would never buy Twitter, with all kinds of facts and figures to support their claim? That it was only a stunt to keep his name in the news?

Dying to find out the actual number of bots and origins of them.

Yea those are very nice boobs in that top. I will say. Mark are enjoying the Lefts melt down since Musk bought Twitter? Priceless entertainment. Musk they will not control and tell what he can or cannot do. EA tried to say Musk only fired 3. That was funny as fuck, Musk is cleaning house and said he is bring back every poster that was deleted off twitter, including Trump. Over half of the accounts on twitter were programmed Bots.

Mickey

Same here Mickey, love that hot pink top HighTide....

Welcome to the real world peeps.

India just passed an interesting law.

aljazeera. com/economy/2022/10/28/in-india-govt-now-has-power-over-social-media-content-moderation

The government controls moderation on social media sites.

Hmm.

While all you 'free speech without consequences' people will think this is great, think the other way. Say something bad about the government and then what?

This impacts Facebook, Twitter, Truth Social, Instagram, Youtube, et al.

Mickey, please tell us when the mid-terms are going to be canceled...
