The ongoing X and Elon Musk Transgressions Thread

"cis" is a slur? Does that mean Musk and his weird nerds don't identify as the gender they were born as?

Look at Zamler, just popping into the thread randomly, not following any conversation, to declare that twitter is amazing and it's only up from here. Suggesting Twitter is going to compete with YouTube is wild bro

Logically twitter won't be able to compete with youtube ever.

Twitter really is focused on delivering to right-wing individuals. That's not a bad business strategy to be honest (there's lots of money available in right-wing politics), but it also means that it can't get massive. Twitter will only ever appeal to 45% of americans, and about 5% of the rest of the world, and will further become a niche business.

Could I be wrong? Totally, nobody has really decided to transition a mainstream business into a niche business at this scale, so maybe it works out for Elon.

that said, my twitter use is down 99% as the site is terrible these days, for the reasons some people love it, and others no longer enjoy it.

I bet you think this is all valid.

Keep it up, I don't usually report people for slander, but calling someone a bigot with no evidence is way way over the ####ing line. Delete it.

I was called the exact same thing recently without any evidence, nothing was done about it. It's happened in the past as well was called worse. Nothing was done about it, clearly the operators of this site don't have a problem with it.

Lol. Guy lost his mind over a gif and turned into the joker. Good glimpse into the musk style sycophant though. Not a great grasp of objective reality but their subjective reality reigns supreme. Kinda neat

Be better. Try taking the high road if you perceive someone has slighted you.

It’s nice watching someone who barely understands how the message board he spends every day on works speak with 100% confidence about more complex social media issues, though.

I saw this comment on Reddit: "People like Musk think 'cis' is a slur because they use 'trans' as a slur."

I did take the high road. Didn't respond to the posts at all.

I would not waste an ounce of energy feeling insulted by him. Beyond being one of the least credible posters on the board, he’s thrown multiple temper tantrums over the most hilarious things. Being called a bigot by zamler is like being called a “poop” by a 2 year old. Completely meaningless but good for a laugh.

it's one thing to still the little guy who doesn't have the means to fight a billionaire.
but when he start stiffing companies like Google, they are more than capable of going after him.


from William D. Cohan, who has no small amount of experience in finance"

"If a company has more than 12 creditors—as Twitter does—then any three of them can join together to put a company into an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding. And Elon is in danger here. At some point, the creditors he is mindlessly stiffing on a regular basis are going to get sufficiently pissed to throw Twitter into bankruptcy. "

Obviously Elon can afford to pay Twitter’s bills: it’s couch cushion money for him. So he must have a reason for not doing so, which of course he’s not sharing.


also:

What’s as clear today as it was on October 27, when the $44 billion changed hands and Elon took control of Twitter, is that the $31 billion of equity that Elon ($24 billion) and his friends ($7 billion) put into the leveraged buyout of Twitter is gone. It’s a zero. In fact, the Twitter buyout may be one of the very worst acquisitions in the history of Wall Street, with something like $37 billion in value flushed—the $31 billion of equity and about half of the value of the $13 billion of debt, or another $6 billion—pretty much as soon as the deal closed.

So what is Elon’s game here? Perhaps he is essentially cosplaying as a bankrupt entity—by not paying his bills as they become due—so that he can scare the big Wall Street banks that own Twitter’s $13 billion of debt to sell it to him at a steep discount, perhaps at a price even lower than the 50 cents on the dollar it would probably trade for now, if marketed to investors

[D as in David]

Goes through with the purchase to avoid the $1 billion penalty he would have had to pay if he reneged on his offer, IIRC.

Next-level genius.

Looks like the last time you reported any posts was in 2015. We don't read every post on here, we don't have the time. If you don't report stuff like that it's really tough for us to take action if it's warranted.
