Shares of Twitter exploded 25% in pre-market trading. Which means if they start deleting his Tweets or giving him time outs he could dump all that at once and crash the stock price...all while directing people to a different platform. That's the only power play this gives him...but influence over shareholders is a big deal. |

That's the only power play this gives him...but influence over shareholders is a big deal. Yeah, this would potentially be the move that Twitter fears. Buy a large enough sum of stock. Wait for a crisis where Twitter has low public opinion. Dump the stock, crashing the price. Buy back more stock for possibly less than the original price. Dominate. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BLKVooDoo: I disagree. Musk appears to have taken the rights as laid out in the Bill of Rights to heart. He has grasped the American Dream and is doing what he thinks he needs to to preserve them. I applaud this African American immigrant. Musk has been quoted saying that he believes the USA has been the largest force for good in the world for the last 250 years. |

I don’t believe Musk is a conservative/Republican but I do think that he believes in free speech and the free markets, and he has shown that he does in his actions. Maybe he is a sort of classical liberal/libertarian. This could get interesting.

As in, the chaos that comes from a real free market, free governance, etc. We’ll see what he does with it, but IMHO shits going to get interesting. I don't see him as an agent of chaos. He's just willing to see and call out ideologues that most media outlets are unwilling or unable to. He has practical experience in a lot of matters that are abstract to politicians and most pundits, giving him a very useful perspective to see the gulf between rhetoric and results. We have a political system where all too often Friedman's observation that "One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results" is spot on, and a press unwilling - unuquipped, really - to call this out. Musk does this on a daily basis. |
