Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Cotton]

he probably realized he was shelling out $44 billion for a message board

He is just driving the price down.

nah, we're being played

 

[Cotton]

How's that?

 

[bbgun]

How's that?

He made an offer before figuring out how many members were real and not bots? I don't think his offer was sincere. I think he likes playing the role of hero.

Or he is smarter than me and you.

 

[Sheik]

He probably sees it like I do. Why spend $40 billion to protect free speech when the Supreme Court will do it for free when that case eventually makes it way to the courts.

 

[Genghis Khan]

That's really what I don't get.

Twitter is something that is hard for me to understand generating that much revenue.

There is no real product and the advertisements are mostly passive if you can overlook them.

Same thing for Facebook.

Ads plus data. It's worth way more than it seems. Twitter made over 3 billion dollars last year.

But if they've been lying about their true number of users, and there were way more bots than they claimed, that ad revenue might not remain so high, which I think is a big reason he pulled the bid.

This might be where they get busted for being fraudulent, and I hope they do.

That's a very good point.

I have questions about his pure capital.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Yeah, the blue hairs are sipping their venti green tea espresso goat's milk 25 pump lattes in celebration right now but I don't think this is over.

I don't think it is even close to over.

I have questions about his hair.

[Cotton]

This is exactly what Elon wants. If he has intel that suggests they breached, Twitter just made a huge mistake.

Trump may be right, but he needs to sit this one out. Glass houses and all.

So if Musk decided to run Independent, your vote?
