It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.



Ah, Twitter is definitely on a path to a $250b valuation. It can clearly grow its user base by 12x.

Elon is clearly a visionary and not at all on drugs. But if you know someone he'd like to hook up a friend of his.

Fuck you say?
This madman has a typical boer's ability to try and wrap the dumbest statements up in the most ridiculous phrases and hope they stick

"Inverse startup" is the new "Potentially toxic slur"

These are phrases that mean nothing but say so, so much about the person saying them

It's an inverse startup. He's going to drive all potential investors away and shrink until it's run out of a garage.

Probably one he's borrowing.

lol yea sure $250B valuation get the gently caress outta here for a company that doesn't make any money

for reference these are companies with a market cap of less than $250B (who actually make a poo poo load of profit):

- Pfizer
- Bank of America
- Shell oil
- Nike

His entire career and fortune is made on companies that have massively overinflated values derived from little but overbearing market hype. He probably believes that is how things normally work.

Yea I didn't even want to get started on Tesla's insane valuation, but AT LEAST in that scenario there is an actual product that has some demand for the future (even if its poo poo and its all over inflated). hey wall street runs on hype and hopes and dreams so ok thats fine (until the day it comes crashing down)

For Twitter though? lol

Oh I see, the “comp increases” are “based on valuation” which means they’re just stock (and/or stock options), not cash. Lmfuckingao.

Twitter was 4 months from running out of money but Musk dragged his feet for 5 months after his offer before agreeing to pay... exactly what his initial offer was.

And stock grants are generally considered income, which means the employees have to pay taxes on those huge amounts, unless they are initially 0% vested.
