It doesn't matter if Twitter true value is $20bln. He can IPO at $100bln and by the time it fall back to $20bln, by then Elon has exited. Bros, whales escape at the point.of utmost liquidity

That's how he escaped a chunk of his Tesla position at all.time high by fabricating an argument about tax with Elizabeth Warren

That was then when money cost 0%, and this is now when it's 5% and rising.

I guess he can wait till 2027 or so, but I expect him to have eroded a lot more of whatever value it has by then.

CNN is thinking about packing up after don lemon new show bombed

The thing that will make CNN pack up for sure is if Trump doesnt run

The only news they have been running for the past 8yrs is Trump Trump. Trump pee on Russians, Trump didnt wash his hand after eating fufu

Trump alone kept CNN afloat for many years. The only places you will see CNN are in airport and hotel lobbies

CNN+ crashed within weeks, Jake tapper crashed in weeks This guy that went from Fox Chris Wallace is having terrible ratings

those of us who followed his rant know the context of his speech and there is nothing like death con 3. he meant DEFCON 3. he was talking about Jews in the entertainment world.

you know how they make meaning to trump saying there are fine people on both sides. they cut the context out and make their narrative

I personally believe Kanye is sick and needs medical help, From the way he has been behaving in the past few years does not show someone fully in control. He has psych issues and he needs help

Everything he says and does, I look at it from that prism, but not everyone will cut him that slack, He might hurt himself before long if they dont take care of his health issues

He is so attention seeking, One day he is born again, one day he is wearing strange clothes, one day he is White lives matter. Just confused

Of course he will wait till next bull market for such a play

Musk does not make money from turning profit, he.makes money from capital markets, so Twitter willl definitely be back.on the stock.exchange after he has got.his story right.

Left to me I don't even know how SpaceX and Starlink are two different companies except to rip off the Capital markets in two seperate IPOs. Space X is a service company for Starlink as far as I am concerned. Most companies are doing vertical integration,.Musk is decoupling companies so he can float several overvalued IPOs and cashout. SpaceX is just a transport company, Starlink is where the real money is cos that is a potential cash business. But mix all that narrative together and SpaceX is currently valued at $125bln

We're in a weird time. Even in the UK, were at all time low unemployment despite several economic stressors.

I wouldn't mind seeing more writings drawing parallels between a post pandemic economy and a post war economy. Unemployment is always low post war (rebuilding, people now confident to spend) while inflation goes through the roof.

Where did you get that from? Post war when all the people who did not die fighting join the unemployment pool that already includes all those let go from building armaments?

It's not like countries broke from fighting wars have money left over to employ them to rebuild.

Re: American Politics Thread - 2024 Elections — Biden’s Presidency! by budaatum: 1:10am On Nov 05, 2022
Seems it was different in America though, but it wasn't exactly their war as no destruction occured on their land and others were in debt to them after it.

Of course during war, unemployment is at lowest but if you compare post war to regular peace times, you willl find low unemployment after the initial shock of people returning, companies actually start to take on non-war capacity, infrastructure rebuilds etc. No be why the Wind rush generation was called to Britain to come and rebuild it

UK post war unemployment below.and US also (factor in great depression from 1929 to 1939 for USA)

Seriously! Not taken over for a week and loss of revenue is bothering him. Did Musk not think pressure groups had a say in twitter's revenue?

I guess he should have consulted a certain Kanye or put him on the board. He'd have gotten very useful advice if he had.

He better watch his Tesla, because it's those same woke pressure groups buying it to save the planet from overheating.

California remains the strongest U.S. market for the electric-car maker, accounting for nearly 40% of its American sales - Jan 2022.

Below is a more complete graph of unemployment in UK. Women were not counted much since they were not really expected to work, and which makes post war unemployment seem low. Count them and it would have been much higher.

America did not have Europe's post WW1 nor 2 issues, but still experienced a slump eventually.

Smart from GOP

Democrats took advantage of COVID to unseat GOP despite knowing fully well that nothing Trump or anyone could have done to limit the spread, but they ran with the rhetoric anyway, and it was helped by the dominant media power they have in amplifying the rhetoric.

GOP are paying them back in their own coin.
