So this is funny and all and I haven’t been following this too closely other than reading headlines so I may not have the full picture but it is pretty fucked up that one of the largest media companies can say “no we don’t want you to buy us” and this guy can go “mmmmm but I’m gonna” lol
Musk is using his Tesla shares as collateral.
He is pretty much saying that Twitter is worth more than Tesla to him.
Saying “we don’t want you to buy us” is usually just a negotiating ploy in these deals. The other owners of twitter are just other billionaire capitalists, hedge funds acting on behalf of capitalists, or mutual fund companies who only care about ROI.
That’s true. They certainly don’t have any concerns about twitter other than how much money it can make them. I guess i should expand to the obvious, it’s fucked up that one person can just buy into such a major media company like this. Nationalize the internet and all that
