I trust he's done his due diligence. But to me seems like a waste of $ there is nothing unique about twitter, and no barrier to entry for any competitor. I would have thought n alternative could have been created from the ground up for Les than 51 billion

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask Trump about truth social. Not so easy.
-
I would call it a bad investment...
He would spend around 20% of his fortune on shitty Twitter, which can be worthless when people find a new trendy social media platform to post at.
-
Not sure its good idea. I think he wants more free speech plattform but twatter has become a liberal/left plattform. So when the liberal base leaves because not being able to cope with free speech it will die off. Common sense and truth is abnormality and gets shunned by society today. The world at large is not able to cope with truth and reality.

Social Media crying platforms are libturd dominant.
Most Pubtardz are working, raising families, and being biologists, and knowing what a man or woman is.
Libturdz are a confused bunch, who cry and attack and act tough behind a screen.
They are much more social-media dominant, while failing miserably at everything else...

LOL!!!
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I notice that anything that Elon buys goes up in value almost immediately, just because he buys it.
So imagine this scenario: he buys Twitter, it doubles in value immediately, then he says he's selling 49% of it, to keep a majority share.
He would effectively end up buying half of Twitter for free under that scheme. ;D
All the power to him if he can get away with that - that type of gamesmanship isn't without risk, and if he can do it well, good for him.

yes, see also: dogecoin or the other crypto he pushes
Musk is a charlatan grifter but he's the best marketer since Steve Jobs .. Maybe better than Jobs
-
If this deal goes through, there will be a lot of blue haired "fact" checkers likely looking for new companies, if anyone's hiring.
-

I'd have to agree with that - and those crypto examples are exactly the ones I was thinking about. I started noticing a pattern, and I am now almost certain he is doing this on purpose. I also just noticed that Elon's net worth is $273 billion, which currently ranks him as the #1 richest person in the world. :o
When did that happen? I didn't even know anyone was that close to $300 billion already.
Of course, these are just the people who are known - the Rothschild family was said to either have a net wealth of $1 billion by 1850, or control $1 billion in total banking assets at that time.
I think that the Forbes list is a bit of a sham though. Take Muammar Gaddafi, for example - his net wealth was at least $200 billion, and that was just among the assets that the global community uncovered by the time he died. There could have been much more.
Who owns Iran's $16 trillion in oil wealth? The Supreme Leader? I would assume someone in his position is the truly richest person in the world - or a Jewish banking oligarch.
-
Musk's motivator in this is not money.
He doesn't need that, and it's never really been the goal.
He wants to poke the bear and increase status.
-

He’s not buying the tech. He’s buying the user base.
-
Fuck Twitter and fuck Elon..................th e rich kunt.
-
It's a no lose situation. He knows the forces of Globalism, including China, will outbid him or make it worth his while to not take over. They've got trillions and they ain't going to let uncensored thought like Trump's out.

Why compete against your competition when you can buy it. Not only that, being wealthy doesnt garrantee success.. look at Truth Social. Twitter is a household name...just needs new leadership
Elon is making a serious power move and i hope he buys it

Assuming that he is being truthful, I’d agree with you. But I don’t think he’s being honest, I think he’s driving up the price of the stocks that he recently purchased.
I will admit that there’s an outside chance that he’s serious but he’s made so many lofty claims that never panned out that he doesn’t have much credibility anymore

I doubt it. He's been pissed about censorship and this is an easy way for him to poke the bear and fuck with them. It's a can't lose prop.

I loved watching the left freak out about this. So we know it must be a good thing, of course freedom of speech is a good thing. I was watching CNBC and they were all against him buying it. They finally interviewed one fund manager and she said if she still owned the stock she would take the 20% gain and run. THey didn't not like that answer. Like who would sell a stock to make a profit WTF and these retards are on TV everyday giving stock advice. CNBC decided to do their own poll on if viewers wanted Musk to buy Twitter and they were shocked when 75% said yes, These people on TV are so out of touch with the real people.

It wasn't always that way...
The censorship is a major issue. And now, you're getting individual echo chambers, where everyone from one viewpoint congregate. That's not good.
While it's not always easy, I think it's important to expose yourself to other views.

There is no right to access to Twitter, FB, or GB.com

Credibility?
Does that matter anymore?
What was the credibility level of our last two presidents? All you need is support in the moment.
We have a man leading our country who is cognitive decline and the successor to his position could not gain any support from her party when she was attempting to be nominated.
Credibility is meaningless.

The media is only controlled through mafia-like tactics and shutting down unapproved thought and, of course, the public allows this to happen. People like the character below are laughable and only have power because we let them.
Notice the media has no problem with this "guy", so the feminized, tv-watching sheep, with no marching orders against Weinberg, stay quiet and focus on Musk.

Twitter is reportedly on the verge of accepting Elon Musk’s $43 billion bid to take the social network private, according to a report.
Twitter may announce it has accepted Musk’s offer later on Monday once its board has met to recommend the transaction to Twitter shareholders, sources told Reuters. The talks are fluid and the deal could still fall apart, the sources added.

Right now it may seem like some large tech companies control the internet, think Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc, but the reality is nobody controls the internet and that's what's so great about it. The barriers right now are based on code (software). If a descent open source platform comes out to rival any of these big tech companies, look out. If you look at what happened to Linux, or Android you can see it can happen to other types of software. The code for an operating system for a computer is far more complected and difficult to write than any of these other platforms, so if it can happen to operating systems, It can happen to any tech platform.
My point is, the internet is about to change very rapidly because it's just a large network of computers that are software based and software can be upgraded in the blink of an eye. Just look at how fast your Windows or Android software can be upgraded.

Right now it may seem like some large tech companies control the internet, think Google, instagram, youtube, Twitter, Facebook, etc, but the reality is nobody controls the internet and that's what's so great about it. The barriers right now are based on code (software). If a descent open source platform comes out to rival any of these big tech companies, look out.

right now that's where 95% of all people spend 95% of their time. So yes they control the information entering peoples brains.
That's not to say it can't change. TicToc is starting to become the largest social media platform for the younger crowd, which means eventually it will be the biggest. And tictoc is owned by China. A company controlled by China is better than a company controlled by global finance, imo.

Is Trump released yet?

The left fell on their own petard. Don't like it? Build your own Twitter.
Ultimately, social media could be like public utilities, open to all, and humans wouldn't have to rely on billionaires who could just as easily turn against them or be hijacked like Dorsey, but this is a step in the right direction as far as free speech is concerned.
The short-sighted smug left pre-Musk:

I never realized that Musk didn’t start Tesla nor invented the cars they make. He was just an investor and took the company over once the original guys developed the roadster. He’s such a fucking fraud acting like he is the brains behind Tesla and the new electric cars.

You've actually stated what he's great at.
The parts needed to manufacture Tesla required loads of different specialist technology. What Musk did is go to specialist companies under the guise of working with them, learn from them, steal their secrets and fuck them over by bringing it all in house. The guys who originally developed the roadster would probably not have been able to all that. They would still be sitting on a concept car that would be too expensive to take to market.
Musk takes something and makes it better in ways very few can, and yes many of his methods are "evil".

Sandy Munro who worked for over forty years in the auto industry sat in on a design review at Tesla with Elon and he said you would never have seen a CEO from the big three participating. It doesn't matter how good of an engineer he is, he bothers to spend time with the engineering department to understand what they're doing. Right there he's better than the other American CEO's.
As far as how good an engineer he is, Tesla wouldn't be doing large die casting if he didn't understand it and appreciate the benefit. That goes for structural battery packs and 4680 batteries.
When Tesla opens a new plant or starts production of a new model, Elon lives on site. What other CEO would do that.

We will know if he is true not only by his words and deeds but on whether or not he continues to stand with them.

yup

This was an interview with Elon one year before the Tesla roadster came out. It's unbelievable, he lays out everything Tesla is about to do. The model S, which he calls the model 2 and the model 3.
The roadster was based on ACPropulsion tzero, which copied the GM EV1 AC electric motor and used laptop batteries. That was the proof of concept for the roadster.
Elon invested in Tesla before they even started design on the roadster. It was his investment that funded the design.
Elon's engineering abilities are solid and so are his engineering management abilities. Elon was able to find people to execute his vision.

your first anecdote is an example of his marketing skills and looks like you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker
your second anecdote - sure it would, if thats what his engineering team called for. he's not an engineer anymore than he is a physician or a plumber - he went to school for econ and physics.
as to your third anecdote - is that supposed to be a good thing? who cares if he's on site or not, effective managers delegate to their subordinates instead of attempting to manage everything themselves.

He is often ridiculed by experts in their fields for speaking out like he is an authority on a subject. If challenged he lashes out (obviously he is a getbigger) The cave incident is one famous example and there are many more amongst engineers and developers.
He is however a brilliant strategist and sociopath. I say the latter with the greatest of respects as it's not always a bad thing.

How is sitting in an engineering design review and participating an example of marketing?
You don't need to have an engineering degree to understand engineering concepts. Chrysler didn't have an engineering degree and neither did Ford and Ford was a practicing engineer. If Elon wanted an engineering degree it would be a piece of cake. I believe he was in a masters program at Stanford before he dropped out to start pay pal. Academically he's a superstar.
He's not attempting to manage everything, he's being hands on. Many of his managers would probably prefer he was not, but tough shit, he's the boss.
The shareholders can have the board of directors get rid of him when every they want. They don't seem inclined to do that.
Shareholders seem quite pleased with Elon's performance.

You don't need to have an engineering degree to understand engineering concepts.
Most engineers barely understand the concepts of actual design. As many engineering degrees force you into a silo and you only understand a very small area of your field.
I'm a structural engineer and i understand mechanics more than most mechanical engineers, only because i worked in that area of expertise for 6 years.
You don't need a degree to be an engineer.
Some of the best engineers i've worked with learned on the job.
My engineering degree taught me about 5% of what i know today.
Being able to calculate and design something very complicated is much different than understanding how it works.
I think Elon understands plenty to give feedback and a path forward.

I have an engineering degree too.
When Elon was in college he never went to class he just did the readings took the test and got all A's. I wasn't that kind of a student. I liked to attend lectures because if felt that's what I was paying for.
I think any engineer can appreciate Elon is running Tesla very differently than most companies. Engineering dictates the design, not the accountants like in most car companies.
When Sandy took apart the model S and model Y they were so different from earlier versions, most companies would have made the completely new models, but Tesla didn't meaning they spared no expense on engineering.
Any engineer can appreciate how well Tesla's are engineered.

Very true.
I typically learn better by practicing. So i had to study a lot.
I'm a big fan of Elon and what he has done.
He's the type of person we need to see more of.
You can tell from his interviews that he truly understands what is going on.
He's not just the company spokesman like most CEO's of large companies.

It’s a catch 22.
Keep identity hidden = bots and scammers will create more traffic load than actual real identities.
Show identity = bots and scammers are wiped out, downside is you can’t act like an anonymous spastic.
It’s really not anything that crazy. Go on LinkedIn and the behaviour is the polar opposite to Twitter.
A Getbig favourite term is ‘soggy queer’ which I highly doubt anyone would say on LinkedIn. There will still be underground social media like Getbig with unmoderated forums. I don’t use social media very much at all so it’s not like I care on way or the other but I think online anonymity has only proven to lead humanity down the path where we hate on each other. Post a video of a fluffy puppy and 5% will dislike it….. WTf?

He used some creative financing using his Tesla shares as collateral and got other investors. He sees the potential of the company and plans to transform it to take on the other internet titans then have an IPO. The whole deal will be hugely profitable for Elon in the end. Free speech was part of it, but in the end this company will be a hugely profitable decision. ;)

Elon Musk says he will allow Trump back on Twitter
The new owner plans to reverse the "morally bad decision" to ban the former president
Billionaire and newly-minted owner of Twitter Elon Musk has said that after the acquisition is completed he will reverse the social media giant’s ban on former US President Donald Trump, who was exiled from the platform following the January 6 riot at the Capitol. Musk made the comment virtually on Tuesday at the Financial Times’ Future of the Car event.
“I think it was a morally bad decision, to be clear. And foolish in the extreme,” Musk said, calling it a “mistake” that “alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.” Far from censoring the president, he pointed out, the “morally wrong and flat-out stupid” move by Twitter actually amplified his voice among the political right.
The comment came just days after a San Francisco judge threw out the former president’s lawsuit against Twitter, whom he had accused of violating his First Amendment rights by working as a state actor on behalf of the Democratic Party.
Trump was banned almost simultaneously from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other ‘mainstream’ social media platforms while still in office, supposedly out of concern that his tweets about alleged voter fraud in the 2020 election would pose the “risk of further incitement of violence.”
Musk reached an agreement to purchase Twitter last month for $44 billion, a move some users on the platform believe will herald a return to the days of more open discussion, given the Tesla tycoon’s self-professed status as a “free speech absolutist.” However, he has reassured worried governments he has no intention to violate any laws that may be passed restricting speech on the social network.
Trump previously insisted he would not return to Twitter even if his account, which had some 89 million followers, was reinstated, claiming he would instead stick to his own Truth Social platform.

Elon Musk Bails On Twitter Deal, Claims Company Didn’t Provide Required Information
BY Michael Gauthier
Reports of Elon Musk mixing business with pleasure are about to be a distant memory as the billionaire is bailing on his Twitter deal.
In a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, lawyers for Musk said he is “terminating the merger agreement because Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that agreement.”
They went on to say the social media giant “appears to have made false and misleading representations, upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the merger agreement.” The latter is obviously ironic as Musk has been known for making false and misleading statements of his own including his infamous “funding secured” tweet.
Putting that aside, lawyers said the merger agreement required Twitter to provide Musk and his advisors with “all data and information that Mr. Musk requests ‘for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transaction.’” They allege Twitter has failed to comply as Musk wants an “independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter’s platform.” The lawyers go on to say this information is “fundamental to Twitter’s business and financial performance,” and the lack of this data makes it impossible to close the deal.

I wouldn't want to do business with him.

He’ll probably have to pay the billion dollar break up fee, or at least part of it. He did have a very good “out” with the fake account clause though. We shall see how it unfolds.

At least he exposed Twitter.
Probably worth it to him.
I hope he continues to do this.

Pretty much.
It was based on bots being no more than 5% of traffic. So now the obvious question to be asking is what amount of traffic really is bots because it’s clearly not even close to 5%. If it was, Twitter would have easily provided that data.
The next question is does Musk buy back his Tesla stock because he isn’t buying Twitter anymore….. 👀
-
Traffic on the site is probably 20% bots.

It was probably never about twitter. More likely the whole thing was a ruse for him to sell more Tesla shares near the top.
-
I think he’s fucked, historically you can’t really screw other rich people and get away with it.
Normally musk would just use his immense legal resources to outspend whoever he’s up against but the prominent shareholders of Twitter can go toe-to-toe with him without breaking a sweat.

??? What on earth would make you think that, TSLA dropped 10% the day after his announcement and is down almost 25% since then.
I don’t think there was any cunning plan here, he just got caught up in his own hype and made an expensive error

He can buy the same shares he sold back for less than he sold them for meaning he would now have more shares. It's amazing how many games he plays.

Look back at the BS he was spitting when he sold tesla shares last year.
Plenty of people called this twitter "buy" as play in order to sell more tesla. This was back in April/May. Tesla isn't looking good in the short term. Elon knows that better than anyone.
-
He can buy the same shares he sold back for less than he sold them for meaning he would now have more shares. It's amazing how many games he plays.
Ah yes, TSLA price going down is actually a good thing for Musk. He intentionally tanked his company’s value by 1/3 as part of his master plan :D

Sure, people make all kinds of predictions .. doesn’t mean they are right.
Since his announcement, TSLA is down 25%, they’ve announced a hiring freeze, as well as plans to layoff 10% of the workforce. If his Twitter gambit was a plan to help Tesla, seems like it was an abject failure.

The hiring freeze and layoffs were not caused by the price the stock is currently trading at. The factories aren't pushing out enough cars and there are issues securing chips, raw materials etc. I think his new factories are sitting half idle and losing billions. The stock price was gonna dump with or without the twitter shenanigans.
We'll know if his gambit was an abject failure or not when the stock price bottoms. If he buys back in at the bottom tip your cap to the man.

He plays way to many games with share price for me to feel comfortable buying the stock.
He acts like the ten percent salaried workforce reduction is necessary. To me, that just shows how he treats his employees and probably everyone. Notice all the complaints coming from former employees.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s considerably higher because traffic is interactions and bots are crazy active. We need Matt on here as I’ll use street maths.
Facebook has 3B monthly active users —> One in every 2.5 people are on FB…..
8B people on the planet
3.7B live in under developed countries. Leaves 4.3B
1.4B live in China which banned FB unless using vpn and let’s be real they all use WeChat. that leaves 2.9B.
Which means an account for each person in the West is active each month. That isn’t even how many posts each one makes and spam account dwarf the volume of traffic human accounts perform each day let alone in a month.
We’re talking around 150 bot interactions/day (posts and likes) at a minimum vs maybe 20 of an avid active human user.
So let’s say of the 2.9B humans we have a generous 500M active who make 20 interactions per day = 10B/day.
That leaves a potential 2.4B bot accounts but let’s say it’s 500M who make 150 interactions per day = 75B/day.
Therefore in this example you can see how we use the same member of accounts for humans and bots however traffic of bots is 88%. I’ve used bots before on Instagram, fucking dwarfs human interactions and half the time they end up interacting with each other lol.

Or, possibly, it's a cue that the bank handling the financing is willing to bend over backwards to maintain a relationship with the richest man in the world.

It won't matter at all. DAU (and all variations of the term) are defined by their respective companies. It's not even a metric advertisers particularly care about.

At least he exposed Twitter.
Probably worth it to him.
I hope he continues to do this.
He could have done that just tweeting on twitter. Or he could have done it just by being the largest single stockholder. He didn't have to overbid for the company, position it as a fight for free speech and openly say that fighting bots on the site was one of his main goals following purchase.

Facebook purged a lot of bot/fake accounts maybe a decade ago. I lost several :( It's relatively bot free now, however farming is still a thing.
Facebook is actually very common in underdeveloped countries, particularly South Asia. Mobile browsing via the FB is either very cheap or free so for many it is their only route to get "online". Those south asians (mostly bangladeshi) also generate clicks and likes en masse when directed. They basically replaced bot farming on FB.

He sold 8B+ of Tesla stock, I doubt he cares about the cost.
Besides, Twitter won’t do shit because they will have to disclose all data regarding bot traffic.
Perhaps they reach an undisclosed agreement to save face?

Just checked Forbes list and Elon is still number one by a wide close to $100 billion margin. Crazy how his wealth shot up because of mainly Tesla and SpaceX. Sky's the limit with him. Hopefully they figure out a way to reduce the money drain at the Texas and German Tesla plants.
-

They will. This is common when starting a new plant because there's always a ramp up period and they probably planed for this.
When the Model 3 started up in Fremont they had the same kind of issues.
The rate they're building new plants and the speed they're ramping up is unprecedented in the automotive industry. All you have to do is look at Tesla's sales increase over the last five years to see how rapidly production is being ramped up. This is what has the other large auto manufacturers concerned. Once Tesla grabs market share in Europe, China, and the USA, they aren't giving it back. They have some of the most loyal customers in the industry and they're customers are young. Basically every auto company know they'll be losing market share and are trying to keep that loss as small as possible.
Companies like BMW and Mercedes may in the end be hardest hit. These are some of the most dynamic times in Auto history. With electric, everyone starts from scratch, so a Lucid that started a few years ago is on par with a Mercedes that started over a hundred years ago. Not a good position to be in for the established players.

I wonder what he plans to use the money to do next. Build AR?
I’m not a believer in current gen electric cars being the final solution. Sure it’ll improve but look where we are today. Reduction of energy to force consumers to use less. So how do you charge your damn car if you end up limited in energy consumption?
The EU new cars now come with a box installed for carbon footprint measurement. This is pretty much the exact opposite of what you do if you want people to buy and use cars.

Elon should put his money into finding real decentralized energy generation sources. Would be nice if each home can have it's own mini powerplant, disconnected from a service provider grid. Tornado destroys power in a neighborhood? No problem, roll in mini power stations and the homes have power again. I'd like to have a little power station box hooked up to my electrical panel and not have to worry about paying electrical bills.
They are working on fusion reactors. Fusion is what happens in the sun where hydrogen is fused into helium because of the tremendous gravity / heat. Current nuclear reactors employ fission or the splitting of atoms. Fusion reactors would not have a radiation risk like fission reactors or a potential runaway reaction issue. The problem to date with fusion reactors is that the power output was less than input. However they have been making progress and researchers in various nations claim they have been able to produce fusion reactors that actually generate more power than consumed. Fusion reactors can be more compact than fission reactors.
Another thing Elon could do is really try to improve battery technology even more or find a better way to store electrical power. Current battery technology lose it over time. Lithium batteries are better than lead acid batteries in that regard. But they still lose power eventually if they just sit for a while. It would be nice to have a battery that can sit for 100-1000 years and not go flat.
Musk could also try and find ways to capture more of the sun's energy and overcome the drawback of solar panels that only work when it is sunny outside. Perhaps a solar power plant in space that always receives sunshine and stores the electricity so it can be shipped or beamed back to earth.
Musk could try and develop tidal power stations, however the cost of those are currently prohibitive even for him.
Elon's electric cars only really work if electricity is plentiful, cheap and non-polluting.

In major reversal, Elon Musk again proposes buying Twitter at full price
New York
CNN
—
Elon Musk on Monday sent a letter to Twitter proposing to follow through with his deal to buy the company at the originally agreed upon price of $54.20 per share, according to a securities filing on Tuesday.
In the letter, Musk said he would proceed with the acquisition on the original terms, pending receipt of the debt financing for the deal and provided that the Delaware Chancery Court stay the litigation proceedings over Musk’s initial attempt to pull out of the deal and adjourn the upcoming trial over the dispute.

yeah. The text message exchanges that have already come out have been mildly embarassing, who know what else is to come.
Also - would not be good for his image to lose bigly in court, as was likely to happen. This way he saves *some* face. What a mess for him though, he's buying an expensive boondoggle that'll be difficult to monetize. It's practically a media company, i dont think he has the temperament to handle all the scrutiny.
Honestly though with his good luck, he'll have an IPO in half a year for $100/share or something like that
-

Probably fair to assume something went wrong.
There is no doubt the bots are out of control on the platform. So whatever was found against him was obviously enough to offset the bot claim. Must have been something pretty big.
-
i have at least 5 dormant fake twitter accounts. must have been high when he agreed to this deal or opened his mouth and got stuck with it.

I mean ....

I bet the eventual outcome will be a fire-sale for a fraction of the original price, akin to Myspace or Tumblr. The site doesn't generate much revenue and annual interest is about $1 billion. Now that the site is fully private, those losses come out of Musks pocket. And as Tesla stock comes down from 70x earnings, those losses will be felt even more

There are few things twitter under Musk can try to do to further monetize it.
Even if they aren't successful they'll probably cook the books, Re-IPO it and pump and dump the stock.
Here's what it would look like

I looked into the details a bit more and put up 70% in cash and only borrowed 30%. that should be an incredibly safe debt level, even if musk overpaid. but it's not: the company probably can't even make those interest payments (which also means, musk can't even afford to loot it - theoretically making it safer). the company already looks highly stressed and Musk's recent actions suggest he's desperate for money
musk cannot afford to make long-term decisions because he must get twitter to generate $1 billion of free cash flow per year, very fast - just to keep up with the interest payments.
theoretically, twitter should not be a highly leveraged company, since theoretically if you're buying it for $44b it should be worth $44b. But it seems twitter's actual value is $13b or less because it can't actually support that level of debt without crashing and burning, and is as a result hilariously overleveraged.

in a philosophical sense, sure. Even using that definition, the value of twitter is less than the $44b paid as evidenced by musk's attempts to weasel out of the sales contract
