Twitter, owned by Musk, fought for months for the right to tell Trump about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s search warrant for his account.

Because Elon Musk is just Donald Trump with business sense. I get roasted every time I say this, but I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.
Not sure Elon has that either. Both morons.
Elon Musk is a lottery winner in the business world.
Is ketamine the new cocaine?
Lol, Musk has had his bad ideas shot down since he tried to rename PayPal to “X”. He was just lucky enough to buy valuable companies and have capable people stop him from ruining them with his terrible ideas.
I honestly think if you gave a random person a billion dollars and told them to buy a company to run they could do just as well as Musk
I disagree
I think the vast majority of people, if given a billion dollar company, would try to remain as hands off as possible. Don’t rock the boat, just take the paycheck.
The problem is that Emerald Apartheid doesn’t need twitter or whatever to succeed. Even if the entirety of the 44 billion USD twitter deal were to be taken out of his tesla/spacex stock and flushed down the toilet: he still has billions (google says 150-ish but those valuations would change as stock prices change) left to never have to work another day in his life.
Have you ever said “keep the change” while paying with cash or put down a larger tip than you otherwise would have because you didn’t have exact change (… and weren’t using a credit card for some reason)? That is the level at which this is.
And it is why any attempts to understand batshit insane billionaires through “normal” logic just don’t work
Not roasting, but don’t really agree. I mean, look at what’s left of twitter. He was never directly controlling Tesla and certainly not SpaceX, just had the money, practiced bullshit artistry, and made specific orders if it suited him.
I can almost certainly thank him for the ability to make my car fart from my phone, but that’s about it.*
*Disclaimer: Comment author (hereby “jerkface”) fully acknowledges jerkface has no insider experience in the Tesla product pipeline, and jerkface carries hopeful bias in that Musk has very little to do with the success of Tesla in order to assuage jerkface’s emotional guilt for loving the absolute shit out of jerkface’s Model 3 Performance because it’s awesome.
Edit-crap, no superscript with ^ I guess.
