Musk is having a $ problem.

This isn’t a bad feeling about the economy.

The economy was in the crapper when he agreed to purchase twitter.

I think he had buyers remorse because he immediately started finding flaws to get the price down.

AFTER the public announcement of purchase.

The diff between he and Trump.. Trump does his negotions before agreeing to anything.

Elon got himself in a fix. Tried to use angry letter about remote work to cut down his workforce so it wouldn’t be seen as layoffs or company doing poorly.
He panicking. He known for that.
But it isnt because of the economy.

It’s his poor choices.

He’s a billionaire but it’s not because he’s good or wise with money. It’s because he has made good bets.

I agree, and see some parallels with Bill Gates. Gates was never innovative, but made the shrewd call to purchase DOS for a song, license it to IBM, and the rest is history.

Poor choices? Musk, a founder of Paypal, is not wise with money?

You could be right. However, Musk is not just a billionaire. He’s the most successful billionaire on the planet. I believe he knew exactly what he was getting into when he acquired a significant stake in Twitter.

Calling Twitter out on their bot problem is all part of the plan to drive the negotiated price down due to fraudulent SEC reporting.

You mean musk is not a mutant genius and is just a talented but lucky man who managed to capitalize on government subsidies at the right time?

Tell me it isn’t so.

Impulse makes you the early bird that catches the worm but it also can make you blunder when you get too confident. Twitter is a mess but the gooberment has made it worse by throwing up barriers to save it for themselves as a propaganda arm.

I’m not at all convinced musk ever really intended to buy titter. I think he gets bored and jacks with people he thinks need their noses tweaked. I would enjoy that too.
