A friend of mine wasn't aware of his frantic backpedaling and trying to get out of the purchase. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/timeline-elon-musks-tumultuous-twitter-acquisition-attempt/story?id=86611191 Goes all the way back to January! Just based on the premium prices back in April, he paid $43B for a thing the market said was worth $26.7B because lol weed number

Soylent Pudding posted:Let's not underestimate just how badly the FL Dems suck either. Their plan to stop DeSantis was to run a republican. Not just run a republican against DeSantis, but a cop against Rubio. My county democratic party finally ousted the old people and a young person who was chief of staff to the most progressive city council member running it. Hopefully it gets better, but jesus this sucks so back. Also, speaking of ronnie, his vet to teacher program has hired seven people in total. Turns out vets with associates but not bachelors don't really want to teach in florida for the poverty wage they offer teachers. When the program was signed into law there was a 5000 teacher shortage that this law was supposed to help address.

It's cool to see how Musk has enough money to buy a up a major corporation and burn it to the ground for the lulz. Definitely not a premium example of why billionaires are bad and why people worth a quarter trillion are an absolute threat to our economy.

Imagine if Musk had done this with something useful or important.

It certainly is a case study for the benefit of socialism vs capitalism. Some rich idiot purchased something he didn't understand and is in the process of destroying it for no reason.

It’s interesting to read about how teacher compensation between states isn’t a few percentage points but tens of thousands a year. Stuff like how the Oklahoma teacher of the year moved to Texas not out of spite but to be able to afford a decent life, and those who make it to California get even more. It’s like years ago two goon prison guards, one in Texas and one in California, were posting and the California one was complaining about something like not all dental procedures being covered and the Texas guard was like “wait, you get healthcare? And don’t have to buy your own equipment?”

This whole story was very weird when I caught traces of it the other day, but it seems it's 100% true. A KC Chiefs hyper-twitterer somehow decided to rob a bank before the Chiefs-Texans game. https://twitter.com/THESagerbomb/status/1604995062592684033 https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2022/12/20/23518527/chiefsaholic-chiefs-superfan-bank-robbery-mask https://www.newson6.com/story/639cc335f3f7c40723ed2344/bixby-bank-robbery-suspect-in-custody

concerns about Elon's very normal one that he's having very publicly day after day are being expressed through Tesla's stock selling off. but don't worry, the faithful Muskovites are letting everyone know he's still a self made genius and things will turn around after any number of reasons not rooted in reality come to fruition!
