which one of you will quit twitter? Musk is obviously going to bring back the Big Orange one, that's gotta make you mad enough to quit the platform. Step up and tell us. I may finally make an account now.

Trump returning to twitter is just in time to help Biden win the midterms. Most people hate Trump and the more they see him the more they realize what a clown he is. The good news is this will allow him to finish killing off any chance the GOP had at a nationwide platform.

Most people aren't active twitter users so I doubt Musk/Trump will make a difference. I could see Musk using twitter access like a cudgel against Trump, but let's see.

Most people don't have the highly elevated sense of outrage and victimhood that you do. I didn't quit Twitter when Trump was spouting his poorly thought out stream of consciousness tweets and I didn't quit when he was banned. If Trump is allowed back on Twitter, I'll shake my head but it won't change my Twitter status. I'll continue to make my 2 or 3 tweets per year.

Twitter is a waste, I never signed up for it. What's the point when you have BI Off Topic?

Looks like Elon realized he was going to lose the trial and decided to save face.

Trump returning to Twitter would be the first time he ever admitted one of his ventures was a Total Loser:
Truth social.

You know it's true…. Trump is currently in such deep **** on so many legal fronts. He's not going to be able to dig his way out of it this time and re-ascend to power.

Therefore, his upcoming tweets will only serve two purposes:

A) amusement. Watch him squirm and squeal before the slaughter.
B) further indict himself.

I'm sure his pea-brained lawyers are really looking forward to him spouting off!
So are the prosecution's lawyers!!

"Make my day!"

No one cares.
They really dont.

The only real interesting aspect to this whole "saga" is how Elon doesnt want to be deposed.
Imagine spending $44 BILLION so that you arent deposed.

lol

Digital World Acquisition Company (DWAC) has been pounded.

You remember DWAC right?
They were the blank check company that was supposed to merge with Trump's Truth Social.

Shares of DWAC have collapsed from $175 per share to $17.

Truth Social is swirling the drain.

So what's the knock on effect to Tesla stock?
Has he found another partner or will he be forced to sell more stock? Or both.

You know Elon is right about eastern Ukraine though. I watched a Ukrainian Foreign Fighter (American) talk about how they operate away from civilians in Eastern Ukraine because the population is so pro-Russian. This is a guy fighting FOR Ukraine.

saw it awhile ago...here's the link, highly encourage to watch the whole interview btw..its interesting.

I think you're missing the Big Picture.

What Elon is now doing is getting yet another opportunity to get out of the "deal".

The agreement with Twitter has always been dependent on obtaining debt financing.
He knows damn well that economic conditions and financial liquidity are far worse than back in April when he initially announced the deal and interest rates were lower.. - - - The Banks are in this for $12.5 Billion and financial market conditions have clearly changed from April. It might not be all that easy to "offload" that debt to outside investors, hedge funds, and other financial institutions (for the fees that they make). As a result, their RISK just went up Big Time.

Musk's secret "wild" card has always been that suddenly lenders walk in and say that they're not willing to finance it. He winds up avoiding a deposition, a lawsuit, and going through with a $44 Billion dollar deal that puts a lot of pressure (and risk) to Tesla shareholders. - - - He simply pays a $1 Billion dollar break-up fee and moves on.

Go back to just 1900 and "Russian", even in the eastern portion, was a small minority in Ukraine. At least that's what I learned when studying where my grandmother's parents came from! They are buried in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Youngstown Ohio.

Russia/Soviet Union has basically committed, what's it called? Cultural Replacement Theory? Putin is now simply trying to wipe out Ukrainians. Genocide.

Looks like there are estimates running around the Street that if this deal goes through, the Banks will be on the hook for an estimated $500 million in losses if they tried to unload all of the debt to third party investors, per 9fin, a leveraged finance analytics firm.

Only 27% of Americans use Twitter and they lean Democrat by around 15%. If Musk gets control of Twitter its viability will be in question.

Much easier for Musk to do that then to have to have TESLA shares serve as collateral for a Digital Media platform that he has no experience in.

Not to mention pissing off all of the Banks and bagging them with hundreds of millions of dollars of losses..... banks that he may need financial assistance with when it comes to raising money for Tesla, SpaceX, etc.

Not surprising.
Tesla's manufacturing plant in Shanghai delivered over 83,000 of his cars last quarter.

Take it from Elon Musk, being an ultra rich white dude is so unfair. It's basically like slavery*



* if you think about it, people, including slaves, said and thought some very rude things about rich white slave owners. I think that's why we had the civil war - because people were being unfair to slavers. No one ever thinks about how hard it was on them. Very fine people on both sides.

But only one group defied our Constitution and tried overthrowing our Government on January 6th.

For some reason, your "whataboutism" conveniently ignores that fact.

And that's why you lack credibility here.
