Elon Musk now owns 9.2% of twitter...update.. will soon be the sole owner as Board of Directors accepts his purchase offer

[WelshBloke]

You only have to read this thread to see how upset the Left are about the thumb no longer be on the scale in their favour, yet you try and pretend the Left don't really care about Twitter.

Obvious cope and delusional.

The only people really upset are the ones holding a bunch of tesla stock I'd think.

and in a complete shocker, the guy who was aggressive about his Tesla success (as in, a complete tool) has since “left the forum” to cope and seethe

chad and squirrel are showing us how tribal people can be.

for me, I’m more about the thousands of employees who are now jobless to protect a narcissists fragile ego. That is messed up

The only thing that makes me upset is how employees were treated. Fired quickly, some brought back only to get refired with worse severance. Quickly changing their working condition from remote to the office etc with very little time, stupid requirements like having to agree to be "hardcore" or whatever. Firing the janitors, allegedly making people bring their own toilet paper. Probably more things.

I've already stated that IMO Twitter was way way overstaffed, but the way that Musk handled everything was just terrible.

Try reading the thread.

Many people are absolutely seething about the loss of their favourite toy and you can literally see the froth from their mouths as though they were rabid dogs, when you read their posts.

Stop punching your wife and seek help. The good news is that these leftist fucks will welcome you back in a heartbeat if you do the work.

lol. not one single comment suggests this. Your failure at context is probably the result of a typical failed conservative education.

This comment also reads like projection in that your crushed disappointment in Elon's failure here has been converted to some thought that "Well this must upset the liberals because he is destroying Twitter...uh, ON PURPOSE! YEAH, THAT's RIGHT!" is just you coping that yet another one of your golden gods has proven to be an utter failure when tested at doing the things they have always claimed to be able to do.

Most people seem to be engaged in Schadenfreude. Which is the opposite of Seething about loss.

The Musk-Twitter is providing an almost daily dose of good feelings as we watch him burn it down, along with his fortune and his reputation.

 

[MrSquished]

so You are on alt-reality train too 😬

show me both a coping and seething post. Please ensure you use standard dictionary definitions as qualifiers

I know how rwnj’s like to change those on the fly

squirrel hasn't posted a fact yet, and whenever any of his claims are countered with a supported linked fact, he runs away, just like he will do here when the facts are supposedly in this actual thread.

these people are dishonest mental goners.

 

[Zorba]

lmao I'm far from butt hurt. If anything it's you people, otherwise this thread would not be so full of spite and hatred and be at 210 pages.

It's so funny that you think others are full of spite and hatred. Especially when your biggest hope for Twitter was the ability to bash other people that have no effect on your life to make yourself feel better.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Surely in thousands of posts the evidence is easily found.

I’m just here for the show. Kinda of like watching a disaster movie - as a reality TV show.

I think the right should just all rename themselves "Karen" because the rest of us aren't carin' what happens to Twitter, Tesla or Musk... it's all a circus sideshow and many of us are watching it through George Carlin's eyes. The right preaches the free market and then gets upset when the free market does it it's thing and stops supporting Twitter. As the guys from Ghost Hunters say...On To The Next. . .

they basically want the freedom to regulate any business for any reason. It’s not about the free market, it’s about controlling society

I am sure @CHADBOGA will link up specific posts any century now from this thread showing “liberals being mad at their toy being taken away”.

He seems like the kind of poster who really cares about being able to support his assertions with evidence.

 

[hal2kilo]

Musk hasn't gone maga crazy, only someone on the far Left would think he has.

His great sin as been to take away the far Left's favourite toy and they will never forgive him for that.

Normal people either haven't noticed or think it is a good thing.

Happy New Year?

The only upset people in this thread are the Elon Musk fanbois because everyone was ridiculing him and telling him to stay in his lane. Those fanbois came into this thread huffing and puffing about Elon Musk being a genius and having the business acumen to make Twitter profitable. I still haven't totally dismissed the idea that he could make it happen, but I am not holding my breathe.

These right-wing extremists aren't trying to "own the libs." That's not what's going on here. What is going on is that they are being pumped full of paranoid propaganda and manufactured outrage that is carefully crafted by their political masters in order to manipulate them.
And it's basically the same theme over and over again: liberals are up to some evil that justifies them doing evil to liberals in return. Because liberals are hypocrites and they deserve it.
Such as, it wasn't that twitter's former management was moderating content in order to maintain an advertiser-friendly platform. Oh no, it can't be that because then right-wingers would have only themselves to blame. So it MUST be that 'the left' took over twitter and used it as their 'favourite toy' to ban free speech.
And that messaging works with right-wingers for 2 reasons. First, it gives them a holy cause to be outraged about. And second, it's exactly what they're hoping Musk will do with twitter, except to everyone they disagree with.
Because liberals are hypocrites and they deserve it.

Yeah. I disliked Musk long before he went all MAGA, and I've disliked twitter for ever so I'm not invested in it but just enjoying the show.

I know some very smart people who believe everything Musk touches turns to gold. When Musk first finalized the Twitter purchase, they've told me that Musk must have a plan to make Twitter into a profitable platform.

Despite price cuts, Tesla misses sales target for quarter, stock down:

Tesla misses 2022 Q4 target, share price drops further

Tesla had a record year, but even big price cuts couldn't get it past the line.

No matter where people fall on the political spectrum I think we should all be able to agree that watching this clown torch his fortune is absolutely hilarious.

His antics are only a small contributor to the demise of TSLA. It's a factor but not the only one nor the biggest.

This is why you don't make your most likely clients embarrassed to be seen with your product kids...

I'd be willing to bet that at least 51% of the current TSLA dive is solely related to his behavior since about April or so.

I’m nowhere remotely close to an expert on this but I’ve seen a lot of speculation that regardless of the Twitter clowning Tesla’s stock price didn’t make sense and was likely due to Musk manipulating the stock due to the relatively small number of publicly traded shares so once he had to start selling it had an outsized effect on the price.
