Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Rasulis]

We learned today that Twitter’s revenue is down 40 percent year over year & Musk’s first giant interest payment on the company is due at the end of the month.

I am shocked.

Don't worry, Elom is a genius and he'll fix it any second now and also do you have any interest in purchasing an emerald? He'll give you a really good deal on one!

[Strange One]

Hahaha what a loser. I bet he got asked out by the prom queen and turned her down, too.

Sad as it is assuming his lies, he got an invite, to the diabolic scheming.

He could've changed things there! He could've been our knight to fix the world!

But it bored him so he stayed home.

While doing a little research on the Soros tweet, which he deleted I observed. Musk was mad tweeting about how Twitter was #1 on Apple App store and one begging advertisers that they are missing a great opportunity on Twitter. Then read that still 500 advertisers have paused advertising.

All in all I hope this crippling balloon payment (Simpson reference) hurts him financially. I'm here for it.

I am shocked.

Elom hasn't owned Twitter for a year. However, as this timeline shows, he's been trying to take over for nine months. And we all saw how much he insulted the property he insisted he'd buy. So it's very reasonable to blame his direct words and actions for the loss.

Musk lies about getting an invite to the billionaires ball



Davos is a stupid egotistical circle jerk that doesn't achieve anything but this has serious, I didn't get invited to the high school party but it sucks I didn't want to go anyway energy.

Yeah once more time reading Musk's tweets on some other research, he has a couple of tweets bashing WEF, but this is like the dude who gets rejected and says "she wasn't that pretty anyways". Poor LiL Elon.

It was sad in high school and it's even worse now. He could just sit on his own island and enjoy a life we couldn't dream of.

Instead he's getting into internet fights and losing.

Things are getting pretty dire at Twitter: they're holding a garage sale.

That shit was posted last year but damn, it seems like they actually got some bids! I'm a bit sad, because I was totally looking forward to buying like a $1000 espresso machine for $25.

Looks like folks are still getting shit at a steal though, some chairs that go for $1K each (not sure how, they look like shit lol) seem like they'll be sold for half that price. Elom's loss is the gain of a lot of other people who will likely resell much of this stuff for a profit!

[Cthulhu 2020]

Revenue at Twitter is massively down, but Musk keeps tweeting about how "some" advertisers are back! Woo.

Also, the used Tesla market is crashing.

[jonnysensible]

so someone explain this to me because i cant be bothered to google and one of you little nerds will know...

if tesla went under hypothetically would all the cars die?

i keep seeing stories about high tech stuff where the companies die and then the people who have to products no longer have any support/servicing so they product is a paperweight. (the worst example was the company that was doing eye impants that stopped working when the company went down leaving people with parts in their faces that didnt work anymore).

Like if honda died tommorow my motorbike would still work, but would a tesla if tesla died?

thanks in advance.

No idea. I assume it would depend on how thoroughly they licensed out their maintenance stuff. Or if you have to take it in to Tesla itself to get it serviced.

If I recall both Toyota and BMW are beginning to sell hydrogen powered cars. (The "exhaust" is water vapor) Pity there's not much infrastructure yet.

Too bad, we had that technology, like 60 years ago in 65, they should have had those in full production by now. https://interplex.com/resources/the-...eated-in-1966/

I have a friend who got let go when her company's online COVID surge faded, and now she's struggling to make rent by selling off her possessions on FB, and what you posted is even sadder.

I don't know where or how Musk got his business education, but you can't keep a dying company the size of Twitter afloat by selling off a pizza oven and a neon bird sign.

[s_bushido]

I don't know where or how Musk got his business education

I assume it was “I Made It the Fuck Up” University.

Elmo Muzk is posting shit like "Main stream media is billionaires paying millions to control how you think." And the people gobbling it up have zero self awareness. Elmo is just another billionaire paying millions (well, billions) to tell people how to think and they think it's "independent thinking" to follow his thinking.

The best grifters make you think you're smart while convincing you of what they want to believe. They're all such fucking dumbasses and they can't even see it.

He's not entirely wrong, but I don't give him even an ounce of credit on that.

What's so fucking dumb is he's pulling from the same very public playbook that's been repeatedly outed and that people keep swearing they won't fall for again, yet here they are falling for it once again simply because it's what they want to hear.

I'm just bummed I couldn't get that commercial grade espresso machine for $25. Was really hoping I'd be able to snag that : (

Sigh...

Musk says Biden may try to ‘weaponize’ government against Twitter if Trump returns

Musk made the comment on Wednesday in a reply to a tweet from another user who reported that Trump is planning to do so after his account was restored in November.

“Will be interesting to see how the Biden administration reacts to this. They may try to weaponize Federal agencies against Twitter,” Musk posted.

Musk’s comment comes a week after House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) officially launched the GOP’s investigation of Biden family finances and allegations surrounding President Biden’s son Hunter Biden. Comer also has sent letters to former top executives at Twitter to request they testify about their role in how the platform handled news reporting about information allegedly found on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

He said these executives played a role in “suppressing” the public’s access to information about the Biden family on Twitter ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

I'm not sure anyone outside of Tesla itself could give a guaranteed yes or no, but in theory it could go either way. Tesla is a big enough brand, and makes a solid enough product in an in-demand sector, that other investors would be fighting to buy them or their assest up. Most likely, the company gets purchased, reorganized, and people are still able to get their car serviced with difficulty. Status Quo is maintained.

It would not, however, be impossible (or even particularly out of character for Musk) for a deadhand patch to be sent out to the cars in the field, preventing them from operating, and making it as difficult as possible to repair. This would be a stupid idea that would piss off just about everyone, but Musk isn't exactly the stable genius he claims to be.

For the most part, for things like those eye implants, the product goes dark because the service is niche enough that nobody wants to take it over. From what I recall of the story, their implants didn't just go dead; people were just unable to get replacement parts and certified service. A few people were even able to get by replacing parts with those that still existed.

As I explained above, this is likely not the case for Tesla.

Unfortunately, while a useful technology, this won't be a revolution. Hydrogen is a pain to get, and the only production method in sight that would be a significant greenhouse gas davings would be using nuclear energy to break down water, and we all know the issues standing in Nuclear's way.

Also, the membrane technology used in Hydrogen fuel cells is reliant on platinum and iridium, two extremely rare and valuable metals
