You know what bothers me most about the whole thing with Musk? The Twitter thing.
He was fucking around, he wasn't really going to buy it, and some jackasses in the government and courts made him go through with it. Congratulations assholes! Because of forcing him to buy Twitter, right wing misinformation went bigger and had no checks at all on it (I mean it wasn't great before, but at least they didn't allow outright Nazi propaganda) and that was probably the major tipping point for the election.
So forcing Musk to buy Twitter led straight to this situation we're in.
He was, he just didn't intend to pay as much as he did
No fuckin way he didn't fully intend for what happened after he got his hands on Twitter, the idiot just opened his mouth and said a bigger number then he meant to for price initially
Elon deliberately forced his way into our government undemocraticly
It had nothing to do with Twitter
SpaceX and Tesla were built almost entirely on our tax dollars, the only way he has found to be successful is to convince corrupt politicians to give him our taxes.
The owners of Twitter made him go through with it, using the courts as the enforcement mechanism.
No he wanted it, and his Saudi backers did too. Plenty of non Elon money poured into that transaction
