That does not make him more savy, even if it were true. Then he just intentionally sabotaged himself by forcing them to accept an offer for a company that he knew was crap, and also waived due diligence.
- refurb 4y agoI mean, without knowing what information he has, how can you make the judgement that he is/isn't savvy in his approach? I mean, I have no idea. But I've been involved in enough business deals to know that there are no real rules - everything is a negotiation until the cash is in hand. Again, there is a very real possibility Musk has completely screwed himself in this deal. Or maybe not, I guess we'll see.
- kadoban 4y agoMy point is that, in a thread on a story about bad internal information from Twitter, you're suggesting that Musk knew this already. It's like I'm buying a car, and I overheard that the car's engine is one bump away from blowing up. But instead of using that information to choose a better car, or to get a better price, I instead wave having any warranty and push hard to buy it at full price. How would that make sense? A much better theory, in my opinion, would be that Musk did not know this information. If he did, his actions make extremely little sense.
