The amount of fake blue tick accounts is huge.

A load of fake verified accounts going for companies and as Elon has fired a lot (or all) of the moderation team and comms team, they are being ignored and the companies can't get them removed quickly or at all, so a lot brand damage going on. So a load of companies now pulling their adverts from Twitter and therefore removing huge waves of income. Bit of a problem when the owner has borrowed around $13bn and a big chunk of the rest of the $54bn came from investors in Saudi & China.

It was entirely predictable so I wonder why he did it?

Because, as good an engineer as he is, he's an arrogant prized knob.

 

[Kenny]

Whole thing makes no sense.

He bid massively over what Twitter is worth for what looks like some huge attention seeking bantz as he then told Twitter "nah not interested" but he had gone so far down the line with the agreement, Twitter took him to court and before a judge could tell him he had to buy it or face a fine that would make the $54bn look like small change his lawyers told him to proceed.

He has sold a shit ton of Tesla shares to fund his bit and now has 2 or 3 huge banks looking over his shoulder along with those investors

As for his actions since becoming owner....not a clue and it feels like his intention is to force into going bankrupt

He is arrogant, but not stupid. Anyone giving this five minutes of thought could have seen the outcome.

Arrogance always trumps common sense.

Putin.... Pah!
Trump..... Wretch, Vomit!
Musk? "Man singlehandedly brings down the world!".

Is he?

 

[BillyDee]

Is he?

He is not. He has fallen upwards spectacularly, maybe it is time for him to fall downwards.

 

[AndyWolves]

From the outside he does look like a successful engineer, what is it that makes him not so?

 

[Johnny75]

Modern day Mr Selfridge

 

[Tredman]

Not being an engineer? He has a degree in Physics and Economics IIRC

 

[BillyDee]

Buying other people's projects does not make you a creator.

 

[EpsomWolf]

I’ve often wondered if he might just be the worlds greatest conman.

 

[Johnny75]

This. He is not a creator with big ideas, he investors in other people's.

 

[BillyDee]

He's also got super lucky a few times, as well as being born into wealth. A company of his was merged with what became PayPal. They made no money from his company but he made a shit ton when PayPal got sold...

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

It was entirely predictable so I wonder why he did it?

Because he's a narcissistic megalomaniac?

 

[lemonjelly]

risking becoming a modern day gerald ratner at this rate...
