    I find it absolutely fascinating that MAGA are trying to spin the current value of Twitter as an achievement for Musk.

    When a company loses half its value in 6 months, it's doing very, very badly.

    But I understand that Musk is now a MAGA darling, so he can't fail.

    Ok. Are you thinking that I am "MAGA"? I find it fascinating that people have become so stuck on brainless false dichotomies and that anyone who points out an error must come from the "side", which in your case appears to be some shadowy forces of a satanic "MAGA" working against your spiritual truth.

    Ironically, you and the actual MAGA types share that same narrow-minded dichotomous view of the world.

    But that wasn't what you said. You said that he "lost $24 billion." If you drive a $30,000 brand new car off a car dealership lot, it will now have a resale value of $20,000 on average. Did you lose $10,000?

    Are you thinking I am a leftist ?

    You compare the value of a company with that of a car.

    I'll give you a management course that will help you.

    Musk bought Twitter because the company was losing money and he thought he could turn it around.

    Six months later, the company's value is down 50%.

    In the world you live in, is this a success or a failure?

    Musk is a modern Howard Hughes. Weird, eccentric, a megalomaniac, but, he has a boatload of money and doesn't care what anyone thinks.

    He's making his mark.

    Well, one thing you can say for MAGA is they know how to add. Maybe they can help you with that.
    Another thing they are able to do is understand when Musk claims he bought the company for what he thinks is half its value, that isn't anyone spinning the current value of Twitter as an achievement. It means he knew going in what he was buying but was willing to do it so lefties like yourself could no longer dominate the conversation with half truths and exaggerations.
    It also means he has enough money from his other 8 businesses (making him the richest man in the world) that he can do something like that just to help shut down leftist wokeism.
    I bet you guys wish you had an Elon Musk. lol Kind of hard to find someone of that financial caliber in the world of wokeism.

    Elon Musk Kills The Twitter Blue Checkmark Cult With An $8 Fee
    [​IMG]
    'For those people that don't use social media often this news might seem irrelevant, but there is much to learn about the psychology of elitism here...'

    Rubs the noses of elitist scum in their own crap.

    'The dissolution of the checkmark club is representative of the leveling of the playing field, a condition which elitists and the political left despise. The outrage on display over an $8 fee tells us all we need to know about them. '

    Ever think about the possibility that Musk values patriotism over money? He seemed to think that Democrats being in charge of the media was akin to Russia controlling their media.

    I don’t know what he thinks, or care. My point is bad investments will catch up with you, no matter how rich you are.

    Catch a load of THIS irony... The guy who "published" the so-called "Twitter Files" (One of the biggest Nothingburgers of 2023) is leaving Twitter because of Musk management decisions..

    Thank God he's good at space because he seems to have a lot of it between the ears....

    "he bought the company for what he thinks is half its value, "

    So now its value is a quarter of what he thinks it's worth. Doing really well then!
