It’s so crazy to me that the purchase price was determined by a weed joke and people are surprised that in the cold sober light of our recent correction, Musk is trying to get out of this.
His whole M.O. is degrading the power of the SEC and DoJ by pointing out they have very little enforcement power. This is just another example in his long journey of “what are they going to do if I just don’t follow the rules?”
Weird way for the richest man in history to live his life, but that’s probably just sour grapes on my part.
- papito 4y agoMusk is no different from your average "small government conservative", which basically means being anti-civilization. They won the birth lottery, and the society and the government are stopping them from going from rich to filthy rich quickly. The only thing here is that Musk happens to be fascinated with electric cars and space travel (ever since he was a teenager). We just got lucky - he could as well have gotten into opioids or coal mining, and his desire to dismantle the laws and norms would have burned even brighter.
- krisoft 4y ago> people are surprised that in the cold sober light of our recent correction, Musk is trying to get out of this People are not surprised. People were expecting this. As evidenced by the discussion then and now. Also as evidenced by the contract which was drafted at the time between him and twitter.
