Musk is an interesting guy. He’s a 21st Century Howard Hughes in many respects.
What is his end game? $100 billionaire or not, why sink half of that into Twitter?
Consider this alternative as a possibility: musk never intends to go through with the deal. What if his end game is to open all the books for the world to see? Expose Twitters Lefty agenda and Bot driven influencers? He already is making noise about backing off the deal since so many dead accounts have been found. Maybe he wants to force change on them and all social media by exposing the corruption?
I’m not sure what he wants, but it sure makes things interesting. The Left is getting uneasy.

Problem is, the “ world “ isn’t going to see it. Even Musk was shocked to learn about RussiaGate.
Without taking control, only a small portion of America will know the truth, and that small portion already knows the truth.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

He has a bunch of investors. He’s not using much of his money. He too smart for that. He lets other people pay for his projects.

Go back to 2015 and think about what a Trump presidency meant in your mind.
Look at the big names that continue to see the light. Rogan is a good example.
I hope Elon f’s S up. Rogan voted for Sanders. How is that "seeing the light"? Rogan voted for Jo Jorgensen.

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

As a CIA operative pushing Q and Operation Trust, of course you don’t trust him. You're a CIA operative, damn, I thought you were but thanks for confirming it.

If you stopped 10 ppl in the Walmarks and asked them who Musk is…
7.5 wouldn’t even know.

Elon keeps this up I might be convinced to buy some of his overpriced stock just to keep the chit flying.

I just got back from Walmart and didn't see a single Tesla in the lot. Nothing wrong with people at Walmart but Musk reaches a different average customer with Tesla and Startlink. Not sure where he is going with his new political stance but it seems good right now. I looked pretty hard and can't find any Anti 2A activism in his past.

You make a good point that the crossover for Starlink/Walmart is probably much greater. Starlink should have many more customers than Tesla in even a few years and Elon is very much the face of Starlink.
