a truly avant garde business process

agree to buy a company for more than its worth then proceed to damage it as much as you can before closing, simply beyond the ability of normal minds to comprehend

he needs to clear this twitter deal so that he can concentrate on peace in ukraine

simply flood the war zone with verified posters

This guy is so ridiculous I bet he builds a giant warehouse of his stupid janky humanoid robots dedicated to sitting at terminals and posting to twitter, just to stick it to ... someone. For the dank lols (or whatever people say).

maybe he got some of his boys on the text chain in on the deal. want to join the game? 5B would be a decent buy-in. 10B would be better, should be fun

easy monetization opportunity $5 subscription a button appears on each tweet that lets you kill the poster

I'm guessing the Delaware chancery court decision is nearing its release.

the trial hasnt even started yet lol, what happened was elon decided he wanted to buy twitter again, for whatever reason
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 17:50 (one year ago) link
the Tesla robot leaned over the other day and whispered “hey man you gotta buy twitter”

He wants to give Ukraine a good kicking.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 18:41 (one year ago) link
Or maybe he wanted to buy it all along but just threatened to back out in order to get a lower price. When the bluff was called he folded.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 18:44 (one year ago) link
i think he wanted to buy it then he didnt now he does again, or at least he wants to buy it more than he wants his other options, worth noting that all those embarrassing texts were just released and there was prob a bunch more embarrassing info to come if the trial went forward
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 18:53 (one year ago) link
this is a bad deal for him and really the whole world, with the possible exception of twitter shareholders
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 18:54 (one year ago) link
contingent on trial being adjourned
he's dropping $48b not to have more DMs read out lol

i wonder if the relative slaps on the wrist and unenforceable SEC settlements musk has received so far makes him think he’s untouchable legally

idk maybe seeing all those texts resurface reminded him of how uh..."fun" it would be to own Twitter
― frogbs, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 20:10 (one year ago) link
feel like theres a non zero chance that offering to buy the company again is also some insane ploy

Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 4, 2022

I love it

i think a lot of us love it
what's up with me? oh not a lot, just creating X

wait
if we can get the tesla fans to start thinking 'I love X", ILX, etc, let that simmer for a few years...THEN we reveal ilxor.com and go premium/public
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 23:35 (one year ago) link
one of the big selling points of this ilxor/tesla merge would be that we have proven systems to moderate troubling content

It's too bad Zuck didn't buy Twitter so you could only experience tweets via VR.

how long until the app that tells you what to do in all respects of your life and rewards you in store credit for doing what it recommends

X will do that. because X will do everything. and while it's at it, it will revolutionize everything. just for good measure. first they have just a few more tiny bugs to iron out of it. but once they do, it's look out world!**
**warning: X may murder small children and cause genital warts.

its cool hes building x
some dumb math:Meta and Snap down on average of 67% this year. Implies standalone Twitter price of $14.00/share ($11bn market cap), based on where Twitter was on 12/31.Implied premium on $54.20 deal price is like 287% (oh and $13bn new debt package immediately underwater). pic.twitter.com/C2nA6neeqH— Sujeet Indap (@sindap) October 4, 2022
