This dude is 53 years old and is trying to appeal to 19 year olds whose greatest collection of wealth is the layers of cheeto dust on their clothes

Shoot myself into space and at least die a glorious death.
Try get a bunch of turboneurodivergent unbalanced physicists like Sonny White or Zubrin to take untold billions to build a nuclear saltwater rocket or something.

This tbh, Musk is such a kitty for never getting on one of his own rockets. Even Bezos put his life on the line with his shitty peepee-shaped rocket.

I don't really get laughing at him for spending $40bn on twitter, it's a fraction of his wealth and literally 0.1% of that would set absolutely anyone who scoffs at it up for life and with massive generational wealth. Like yeah it was a stupid use of money, but the fact that this inconceivably large sum was spent like it's nothing and with no regard for any sort of ROI is a flex like none other. The man could have minted 40,000 new millionaires if he wanted to but instead spent it on a literal shitpost.
Plus I'd argue that freeing Twitter from lib control was a huge public service, even if Elon is a massive sexy Indian dude worshipping cute twink.

This would all be true if only he hadn't tried so hard to back out of the sale like a little b-word.
I used to know this guy who woke up from a week long bender and found out that he had booked himself on a 16 week falconry course in Brittany while he was blacked out. Instead of crying about it and trying to get his money back, he just thought well, shit, I guess I'm going to fly eagles and went and did it.
If Elon had just been like, "Whoa, what's the stupidest thing you ever bought while on ketamine? Bet you I win." then I could get behind that... but instead...

For me the funny part is how the acquisition came through. He offered a ridiculous price, realized that it was not worth even half that, tried to back off and had to buy at the inflated price after a lawsuit by the twitter board. I wouldn't call massively overpaying for something a flex, more of an embarrassing blunder.
This I agree with 100%, the social media landscape became a completely homogeneous lib circlejerk after 2016. X at least adds some variety to the conversation.

Lmao all this time I had it in my head, vaguely, that he bought it for fun and without giving it much thought and the Twitter board wasn't happy with it but Jack let it go through

The board immediately jumped at the deal. He tried to walk it back

I think most of this drama occurred in your touch grass period, because it was being posted constantly here.

I think musk buying twitter ultimately led to trump winning the presidency. Since Trump won and musk became his patsy, Tesla stock has jumped massively. Elons wealth has like tripled as a result, so really 40 billion for Twitter was a small price to pay to basically 3x your bank account and become the shadow ruler of the worlds most powerful nation.

Nah purchasing twitter was actually clever af, i'll give him that. It let him control the narrative which is invaluable. It's essentially the modern equiv of buying a paper

Since it's a private company, these corps can just make up whatever they want for valuations. I doubt twitter was ever worth much, but this always seemed like weird cope from redditors whenever they tried to say he lost value. It's quite clear that Elon didn't buy twitter because he wanted to make a profit.
