“Fidelity is currently valuing X at about $9.4 billion”

I found this funny.

    Musk did not buy this as an investment. He bought it to flip elections and manipulate public opinion.

    Tesla is writing him a check that will cover the entire purchase price, and Saudi Arabia and Russia will pay the operating costs.

    Active users are what matters; if they lost 75% of their users then I’m paying attention.

      Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it’s stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.

      I don’t think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it’s value to come back and buy it on the cheap.

        Given his unlimited resources, and the world’s worst people on speed dial, do you not think that the powers that be could have orchestrated that?

          If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.

          He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.

      We’ll never know since Musk is nurturing a state-funded “user”-base that will always keep their numbers inflated
