Kolek planning to go pro
Doesn't mean there aren't investors.
Sure but outside of huge PE funds and the like, the demands towards things like that in the private company realm are a bit less pronounced. I'd also be pretty surprised if the majority of significant SpaceX investors aren't otherwise invested in Musk's other endeavors, aka investing in Musk the portfolio as opposed to just SpaceX, as investor composition in private companies is usually more calculated and discerning by the founder/owners/majority shareholders.Largely informed speculation, but just a hunch. Pulling from TSLA for Twitter is a different issue, if that happened.
Musk sold 7.924 million shares of TSLA between Aug. 5-9 in advance of completing the Twitter deal, and he then sold another 19.5 million shares from Nov. 4-8 shortly after closing the deal. https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/insiders/musk-elon-831665One would have to REALLY believe in coincidences if one argues that he wasn't selling billions of dollars worth of TSLA -- moves that contributed to the stock's price decline -- to help fund his Twitter purchase.
Pulling employees from Tesla, like the SpaceX convo before. Not money or shares
Elon Musk sells yet another $3.6 billion in TSLA stock to fund TwitterThe sale represents almost 22 million shares of TSLA sold over the course of the last three trading days, at share prices between $156–$176. TSLA stock has fallen about 20 points in that time period, losing more than 10% of its value.https://electrek.co/2022/12/14/elon-musk-sells-yet-another-3-6-billion-in-tsla-stock-to-fund-twitter-disaster/
Early in this thread, I called out Musk as a right-wing authoritarian. Now we are nearing the point where he is going to need China and the Saudis to help monetize Twitter.
You are a regular Quasimodo.<insert classic Sopranos dialgoue here>Jockey is playing Bobby Bacala in this scene.
Got your trump cards yet?
At least we can all agree Olbermann deserved to be suspended, if only for being a complete all encompassing asshat who might enjoy sniffing his own farts even more than Musk
Except that Olbermann will agree with you that he is an asshat and egomaniac. Musk has encased himself in such a bro bubble that he's lost all such self-awareness.
The mods here suspend posters. In the case of twitter, just more character being revealed.I wrote last April that I did not think that Musk and twitter was going to be a long term relationship and that if it was, I expected a new platform to emerge to replace it. The advertisers have fled and it is burning money. I remember the few posters who wrote the letter to the mods and went off to form their own board.Sometimes, scoop is just society writ small.
