Elon Musk has taken control of Twitter and fired its top executives

[Mycroft]

44 billion for a social media company whose entire value is based on their user base seems totally insane.

In reality, Twitter's entire value is based on the benefit the Intelligence Community got out of it. The only reason Twitter is still operating is because of the compensation they've received from the government.

It'll be interesting to see where Musk goes with this. Will he continue the partnership? Or, will he tell the IC to **** off?

I'll put you down as retweeting and liking his posts when it comes to Hitler, gotcha.

Who said anything about Hitler?

Oh, WAIT! I forgot. Anyone who disagrees with a far left-wing liberal is a Hitler lover and fascist. MSM is already saying this about the upcoming election and Twitter takeover. Ask Joy Reid.

 

[Paradoxical]

Ooops, your nazism is showing.

You have been watching Joy Reid. Come on!~ Fess up. She is already prepping everyone that the bloodbath to come on 11-8 is because white people are fascist, and even black and brown people that vote conservative are also fascist.

 

[Mycroft]

When the stock’s start tumbling today, those executives are going to be happy they forced Musk to buy shares at a massively inflated price for their golden parachutes.

Musk owns the company, lock, stock and barrel. There are no publically traded stocks to tumble.

Anyway, I'm thinking Musk considers their parting gifts money well spent.

Here is my comment. Notice Hitler.

Nothing like Kanye posting about wanting to write an album dedicated to Hitler and a bunch of MAGAts retweeting and liking that tweet.
I guess that's "engagement".

Here is your response:

He was referring ONLY to the Jews that control Hollywood.

I noticed that you did nothing to condemn his even thinking of dedicating an album to Hitler.

The only thing that's weak here is your debate ethic. You can't call someone's position inaccurate and then accuse them of weakness because they won't do research to support your position. Get a reality check please.

You didn't say that my position was partially inaccurate, you said it was completely inaccurate. If it's so inaccurate then you should be easily able to state why, yet you refuse to do this simple thing, and then attempt to gaslight me when you're called on it. Like it's somehow my fault you won't say anything more? I'm not even asking you for evidence, but to simply state your mind.

If you're too afraid to do that then I will accept your concession, simply conclude that it was a baseless jab, and move on. But I'll remember you did this in the future.

Honestly, grow up.

Well that was quite the little temper tantrum.

Musk owns 100% of Twitter’s stock?

Yeah, and?

None of it means anything in the long term, because the Left has essentially won. The Left is in the 4th quarter here in the US, and they're ahead by 3 touchdowns. It'd take a miracle change in zeitgeist for us to reverse the damage caused by the Leftists and postmodernist crackpots who managed to tip the scales way in their favor in colleges, universities, high schools and even elementary schools. Ten more years, and it'll seem like Barack Obama was an arch-conservative compared to the ideas an appreciable number of young people are subscribing to. The barbarians are at the gate.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. Conservatives have lost the game. The media and government workers are so saturated with far leftists now that it would take decades to change it. The FBI, the IRS, the DOJ, the CDC, and Homeland Security as well as the military are now bastions of wokeness. You can't get thousands upon thousands of people in those departments out of there in just a few years.

It is a good thing that Biden is there. We are able to see the wreckage of progressive ideas. This will lead to major wins on 11-8. As you suggest, that isn't enough. There will be 2 more years of corruption and totalitarianism as this failing regime dies a very slow and painful death. But there are just too many Joy Reids in media and government now because of decades of indoctrination. We are slowly becoming like Europe and a country that is no longer a super power either militarily or financially or morally.

 

[Paradoxical]

Yeah, and?

I KNEW it!

Bring back Trump, Kanye West, Alex Jones and watch engagement soar.

Engagement in what, flat out conspiracies? The place will be a wasteland in 6 months...

The value won't matter to anyone if he makes his loan payments. Musk - that shitty little apartheid scion, fwiw - just has to monetize Twitter. This is something he's good at, and he's about to have millions of rubes help him do it.

His INTEREST payments alone will be near $1billion/year....

 

[zincwarrior]

First act is fire the people who know how to run the company.

That is not uncommon with any acquisition, especially one that is losing money. Now what will be interesting to watch is who the new management team will be.

 

[BlueTex]

LOL! How's Parler and TruthSocial doing?

Fantastic if you ask Trump!

 

[Mycroft]

Musk owns 100% of Twitter’s stock?

He and his partners.

 

[RealityNow]

I used to like and admire him a lot. His work at SpaceX has been technologically revolutionary and has been a huge buoy for the space industry. I think at some point though you get so rich that you lose your connection to reality and go nuts. I know I would if I were that rich.

He really just needs to stop tweeting stupid shit and focus on his engineering focused companies.

With Money... men have always been able to invest in Ideas, whether it was their idea or the idea of others, and Musk has done that, it is not much different than J.P. Morgan who did so investing in Edison's Electricity -

• With money the help can be acquired/hired for skill levels needed to push any viable idea forward.

That system has not changed over centuries.

Parag turned a $30Billion company into a $44B company in less than a year... He is a genius... LMAO

 

[jnug]

If I had to guess what Musk is doing, based on his first hours of ownership I would guess he will try to flip it. But he has paid too much for it for that.

My bet is he will tell them to **** off. He has already fired the CEO. CFO, and the legal team involved in banning conservatives.

And then the advertisers will pull out. Then the company will be as valuable as Parler, and Musk the Business Genius will have lost billions of dollars on the deal.

 

[NatMorton]

Don't have a twitter account...never had one. Not going to get one.

Musk is a loudmouth jerk off with a good head for markets. Beyond that...not much else going on between his ears.

Then it’s a doubly good day for Twitter users.

 

[NatMorton]

Twitter already had the power to fire whomever they chose.

whoop-de-doo.

Talk about missing the point. Wow.

 

[MAGAnificent]

I think Twitter will do okay under Musk. Woke advertisers leaving will not bankrupt Twitter. Most advertisers will remain happy to advertise on Twitter. And those who leave will go on my boycott list.

 

[Paradoxical]

The right thinks them winning the House and Senate will mean anything considering the guy who signs the bills into law is not going to rubber stamp every stupid bill put forth.
Of course, the only thing that the right will do if they regain power is to investigate. There will be no legislation.

I know this. The best we can hope for is that Biden will be hobbled and he will be. His executive orders will be challenged. There will be investigations into the connection between Joe and Hunter with reference to Burisma and China dealings (sellouts), the student loans, and repealing of the inflation increase act. Impeachment of Mayorkis and Harris for dereliction of duty, investigations of Fauci, the CDC, Garland, and the FBI just for starters.

Conservatives were never censored for being conservative. That was always bullshit. Their idea of "freedom of speech" is the ability to freely spread disinformation to the masses. In order to do that you need a platform that will allow you to reach them. When Twitter starts becoming a constant source of disinformation, people will leave on their own because it will lose whatever value it currently has.

That is simply not true. For example, take The Babylon Bee’s account. It was suspended for a single parody piece that named Rachel Levine as its “Man of the Year.”
