News Updates

So? Was Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter a publicity stunt? Is he now refusing to buy it under some pretext? I have no time for the news, so I only hear rumors.

Any other important news updates?

    It’s “on hold” but not clear if this is just a temporary setback or his pretense for backing out. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the latter, and if so I’m going to laugh at all the right wingers who’ve been eagerly fellating him.

      Though it’ll be seriously funny if his actions force Twatter to disclose that the majority of their traffic is fake accounts, and then doesn’t buy it after all 😉

    Seems to me he may be having buyer’s remorse. Spending that amount on Twitter is an incredible misuse of money, especially since the stock market has fallen a lot since the announcement. Maybe he’s just trying to negotiate a better deal? In any case, it’s incredible to spend that amount of money on a money pit.

      It has a lot of political power. But he doesn’t seem very political. So it’s quite possible he decided to dial it back.

        Or he just wanted the attention, which he obviously got.

      That was my first reaction too — he overpaid for it, and is now trying to haggle down the price (given how the tech stocks have fallen). Let’s see what happens next.
