He has stated what his motivation is, and that is to have open platform to serve as the public square where ideas will compete in an open market place. And that is exactly what scares idiots, because idiotic ideas can't stand up to scrutiny. Why not let's discuss the stated goals he claims and seems to be pursuing? Why must you lie and twist and make him into some kind of modern day monster? You guy's ideas can't win an open debate and that is what pisses off morons like you.

Their ideas are idiotic, and we see them being played out in real time. Don’t enforce the law, open borders, parents don’t have a say, inflation out of control due to spending and the green new fraud, the homeless taking over cities, shooting up and shitting wherever. With all that going on in everyone’s face, and more, you need to control the messaging to overcome the reality. It’s beyond using the media to just cover up their corruption and immorality, they now need it to survive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It ain’t political at all I am dumb? You said he focks sh1t up. I just asked what he focked up? As for motivations what is the motivation of anyone that invests in a stock or buys a company? Maybe he thinks it is undervalued due to bad management and he thinks he will make money. Maybe he thinks that by taking politics back out of it he can lure back a bunch of people that left Twitter. Unrelated, personally I hope Trump never gets back on Twitter. He would implement a good policy then shoot himself in the foot with a Tweet. MSM would focus on the tweet and ignore the policy. He would have been a much more effective President if he put the phone down the day he got elected. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I wouldn't expect them not to pull out any tactic to stop him, including this, whatever this is, I don't know. I could be wrong but the way I understand it is if you have 10 shares worth $45 and they let you buy say 5 shares at $30 then you have 15 shares at $40. if the price does not fall below $40 you are whole. if it does you do not lose as much as Musk who has all his shares drop from $45 while yours only fell from $40. It still sucks for you but for Musk it stings a lot more. It is meant to stop him from screwing himself. I made the numbers up but I think that is the idea.

TK0001 98 Posted April 25, 2022 I have been glued to this story. I love the negative campaign against Elon Musk that has popped up. All the sudden he's a "douche" and a bully. It's exactly the same thing they did to Trump. I am sure we'll soon learn Musk once said the N word when he was thirteen. If they can't find any dirt on him, they'll just make it up. I anticipate a full expose from the Bezos Post within a month of his Twitter acquisition. Also queue up all the liberals saying "I never liked the guy". Watching the exodus of self-important, crybaby, blue-check morons is going to be all manner of fun. Wait 'til they figure out when they leave, they'll have no place to spew stupidity.

Also, he gives to both political parties. No, he was referred to as a real-life Tony Stark. I don't know of anyone who referred to him as a douche. Until now, of course, when the revisionist history kicks in. Now that liberals have a crack, in the form of Musk potentially shutting down Twitter's practice of suppressing the conservative voice, they will now accelerate full throttle. Remember when Trump was a subject of countless rap songs, had cameos in movies, and had the #1 show on TV? All it took for them to "discover" he was a vile racist was for him to run for political office. Overnight, the guy who had been in the public eye for over three decades was equivalent to Hitler. Like I said, if they can't find it, they'll just make it up. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted April 25, 2022 To clarify my earlier statement, anyone not on the radical left is Hitler to these people. Musk trying to buy Twitter? They start running checks on Musk to see if he openly spews vicious bile at Trump, hate at America, etc. if they cant find anything, then hes not on the radical left. Therefore he is Hitler and they start to attack Musk. Musk failed the purity test so now they cheer for poison pills etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
