This would be a ridiculously bad way to achieve that goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not selling his stake in Tesla; he’s using it as collateral to borrow cash. ‘Diversification’ is irrelevant because as Tesla drops in value, his exposure to the banks increases. It just makes him even more dependent on Tesla, and the prospects of that are, as you pointed out, rather grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema- Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The really short sighted thing here is the belief that twitter is eternal and not replaceable.

CayceG Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Quite honestly, Telegram seems like the next Twitter-like space for people to migrate to.

He quite clearly criticized the decision to suspend NYpost over the Biden laptop story when he said the decision was incredibly inappropriate. But who cares if Musk said something mildly critical?

In 2014, people supporting Trump would have been labeled a fringe group, yet he went on to win the republican nomination and presidency. And while he got voted out of his second term, it was more than close enough that he could still potentially win it in the next term. The fringe on social media can turn into the typical. Yes, BECAUSE of social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
