As a shareholder and end user of the product, I agree.
- alphabetting 5y agoyou want to cash out with a 20% bump and be out of the stock during a huge tech equity downturn when the stock was over 60% higher last year?
- hajile 5y agoThe big reason it tanked was privacy regulations from Apple/Android. That's not changing to favor Twitter and effectively took away one of their biggest revenue streams. That's a big deal for a perennially non-profitable company.
- loceng 5y agoElon said he'd keep as many shareholders as he's legally allowed to.
- hackernewds 5y ago"Elon said" is not a stamp of trust anymore. Elon also said TSLA would accept Dogecoin, which he had accumulated prior to communicating it. Then he sold it off. History should be a lesson here, it's almost Deja Vu with Twitter
- bmitc 5y agoReminds me of Erlich Bachman in Silicon Valley saying "I say a lot of things". https://youtu.be/XM7_eqtljUg https://youtu.be/XM7_eqtljUg
- kerng 5y agoSure thing you can buy stuff from Tesla with Dogecoin. https://www.tesla.com/support/dogecoin https://www.tesla.com/support/dogecoin
- jeremiahhs 5y agoTesla does accept Dogecoin for some items https://shop.tesla.com/product/s3xy-mug https://shop.tesla.com/product/s3xy-mug
- everly 5y agoLol, literally two. A mug and a “cyberwhistle”.

- matthewdgreen 5y agoWhat does it mean to keep shareholders in a private company. Isn't there a limit of 2,000 or so?
- colinmhayes 5y agoAnd also that tesla was going private at $420 a share.
- guelo 5y agoHis twitter offer is suspiciously $50 + 420 cents
- mwint 5y agoIf you watch and believe his TED interview from the last couple days, there was much more going on there than meets the eye.
- colinmhayes 5y agoHe also said Tesla would have FSD better than humans within a year. Frankly, I don't believe him.
- _jal 5y agoPoe's law in action.
- twblalock 5y agoA 20% bump with zero risk? Yes please! Even if you think Twitter stock will go up 20% next year, you'd want to take this offer. If you think it will go up 50% next year, you might still take the offer because of the risk:reward ratio.
- missedthecue 5y agoI think last year was some serious bubbliciousness, not the true value of Twitter and all the other tech companies (and shitcoins and NFTs and basically everything else people were throwing money at)
- whatshisface 5y agoSure, you take that 20% bump and invest it in Google. Then you get 20% plus the tech equity recovery.
- AlbertCory 5y agoRookie mistake: the fact that a stock was once higher is no indication whatsoever that is "worth" that much. That was then, now is now.
- ISL 5y agoIt has meaning primarily insofar as other people think that it might have meaning. Technical Analysis is madness, but there is method to it.
- AlbertCory 5y agoYeah, I don't know much about TA, but I think it probably works better for well-established cyclical stocks, not for growth (or lack thereof) stocks like TWTR.
- memish 5y agoIt's funny how many people think that means it'll go back up. Twitter's stock has been sideways or down most of the time. It was $69 back in 2014.
- ikiris 5y agoThat's your typical small shareholder in a nutshell.
