Lot of innuendo in this post. What Patel is saying that at $69 it would be more mutually beneficiating fellating.

Elon is the one who came in hot, coming up on Twitter's six. And not even the courtesy of... okay, moving on.

Boy the liberals on f16 are really unhappy about this development. Kinda telling.



I actually I think it is awesome.

Free speech is a fundamental thing.
And I am glad he is using his wealth to attempt to restore free speech on twitter.

That is totally different. Company valuation is a whole lot easier to ascertain. Its what happens when any company is sold to a buyer. Twitter is a turd! Always had been.

They have. You can tell by what they're posting.

I think it's awesome too. I just don't think it will happen.

Twitter valuation is calculated to the exact penny. That being $54.50 per share. Nothing more, nothing less.

There is an offer on the table to buy all shares, 100%, for $54.40 per share. Until there is another offer on the table for all shares or Elon withdraws his offer, then Twitter is worth $54.50 per share.

How much something is worth is a point in time valuation based solely on what someone else is willing to buy it for at that moment. Everything else is just a guess.

Twitter unregulated will be trash. Have you ever been to 4chan/politically incorrect? Basically every other word is the n word and almost all threads bash the jews.

Elon Musk: "My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization. I don't care about the economics at all."
This is a statement reflecting ultimate commitment to a cause.

I agree with others here who believe EM will succeed, whether via the success of his offer or a hostile takeover.

However, I perceive the largest impediment to his acquisition is the leftist government infrastructure (IRS, SEC, DOJ) that is sufficiently powerful to create whatever obstacles are necessary to block him.


There is a public perception limit here though. Musk is appealing to moderates. Attacking him is a losing political position, especially for a democratic party there is very dependent on 20s&30s for gotv efforts.
Excellent point. I hope it becomes a compelling source of support for the acquisition.

Yes but there are also thousands of daily slide threads about one race *******ing another race. Everyone ****s on everyone there. That's what makes it great.

4chan don't care what race you are, only that you are racist.

I will say my 13 year old is obsessed with Elon Musk. His current essay topic in his English class is why he is the most important man in the 21st century.

And he isn't the only teen boy that is fascinated with him. Hear discussions on him at Scout meetings and read them on discord when my ass got kicked by 4 teen boys in Minecraft.

The left needs to be careful. Stuff like this could lose half of a generation. I don't even know what his generation is called.

Generation no tv?

I'm glad we were able to get Benny's take on Elon.

I was worried the thread would be incomplete.

What did Benny get in his lunch today?

I don't know how hostile takeovers really work in regards to the SEC. What basis would the SEC have issues with him acquiring Twitter?

Goldman tripped over their d***s, again.
To be fair, Goldman is often wrong. They were surprised at the surge of inflation in 2021 expecting it to be at 2%

You think Twitter is doing a good job? Banning people for dissenting opinions and thought crimes the liberal left doesn't agree with?

Texags in general does a great job keeping this site decent while still allowing free discussion and differences of opinion. Twitter does not...but they could if they wanted.

I agree, Twitter censors content based upon how they want the world to be, not just offensive or obscene posts.
