Will our big wet boy make his way back to the promised land of posting? :inshallah: :trump-anguish:
I'm assuming that will be one of the first things to happen. Trump was great for user metrics I'm sure. Jeff Tiedrich must be creaming his pants right now.
All the now-forgotten about reply-guys will gather under Trump's first tweet back to unleash the great zingers that they have been working on for over a year.
lmaooo
Apartheid failchild now owns twitter
:melon-musk: :brd:
So this is funny and all and I haven’t been following this too closely other than reading headlines so I may not have the full picture but it is pretty fucked up that one of the largest media companies can say “no we don’t want you to buy us” and this guy can go “mmmmm but I’m gonna” lol
Musk is using his Tesla shares as collateral.
He is pretty much saying that Twitter is worth more than Tesla to him.
I mean twitters potential as a propaganda machine vs gender reveal parties on wheels, probably a fair assessment lol
Twitter is worth more than Tesla to him.
His behavior the past few years has made that glaringly obvious
Saying "we don't want you to buy us" is usually just a negotiating ploy in these deals. The other owners of twitter are just other billionaire capitalists, hedge funds acting on behalf of capitalists, or mutual fund companies who only care about ROI.
That’s true. They certainly don’t have any concerns about twitter other than how much money it can make them. I guess i should expand to the obvious, it’s fucked up that one person can just buy into such a major media company like this. Nationalize the internet and all that
we're not making a /c/twitter rescue community they're all losers
we can just tell ppl its an upside down twitter clone and they wouldnt notice
Everyone remember how tumblr was sold to Yahoo for $1.1 billion, and then resold later for $3 million, a 99.8% drop in value? That was fun.
It's as if social platforms are extremely hard to monetize without destroying the platforms themselves.
"Capitalism is the most efficient way to distribute resources and handle the information problem regarding 'value'..."
I'm kinda hoping the value plummets after the fascists come out in full force spreading their :freeze-peach: across the platform.
He's using $21 Billion in cash as part of the financing.
But yeah, Musk is totally homeless and billionaires don't actually have real money :fidel-sarcastic:
You fool, you idiot. Musk has been couch surfing to save his Pennies for this deal. Maybe if you millennials learned a little something called sacrifice and stopped looking for hand outs you could bootstrap your way to buying one of the largest tech companies ever
DON'T YOU KNOW HE LIVES IN A TINY HOUSE IN THE SPACEX PARKING LOT? THAT'S HOW HE SAVED SO MANY SHECKELS
There are many android apps including Tusky and Husky. Is there a new one?
To my knowledge twitter has always struggled to profit, so this is probably some people at twitter's golden parachute.
Yeah it was always weird to me the "resistance" to the buy out lol, it was some performance bullshit to make it seem like billionaires can't just, like, buy the news. All of the news.
The resistance to the buyout was because twitter's stock price has recently dipped, and they didn't want to cash out at a lower price than they might otherwise be able to.
I didn't know we called pyrite parachutes in the shape of a Tom and Jerry style big fucking Boulder with strings attached to it a golden parachute lmao
Now come on, he will face harsh penalties from the SEC amounting to thousands of dollars in fines, maybe even in the 5 digits! The tens of millions he will make will be that much less sweet.
The judge is all smiles and even plugs his Twitter account at his press conference: "Let this be a lesson to everyone. No one is above the law. Mr. Musk was fined 0.0001% of his blatant pump and dump.
lol. lmao even
Edit: musks “changes” are probably going to be opening the taps on hate speech like immortan joe opening the water valves in fury road under the guise of :freeze-peach:
They're already ridiculously permissive, it's just gonna turn into a place where every post contains at least one slur.
ERROR: this tweet contains no slurs. Please enter one slur to post, or watch an ad to post tweet without slur
Oh, you'll have to watch ads either way. I can't imagine third party twitter apps that block ads will stick around.
Musk getting a quarterly free speech report and sweating because the number of death threats Ilhan Omar got only increased by 4%.
First person to tweet the N word at me after the sale is finalized wins $5k in Bitcoin
Same lol
His actual tweet is “I hope my critics remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means” or some shit. So yeah literally paying $45B to say slurs
