Yeah I'm thinking the same. Even without the screwups, it's an unbelievable waste of $44billion dollars. He could have invested that in a nuclear fusion start

Yeah I'm thinking the same. Even without the screwups, it's an unbelievable waste of $44billion dollars. He could have invested that in a nuclear fusion startup or something else that would advance his dual goals of clean energy and a multi-planet species (and almost certainly make better ROI than Twitter). Instead through a series of bizarre misteps he spends that on a useless vanity project that will distract him from his important companies, and then proceeds to fuck it up in just about every conceivable way. Like, dude...
- captainmuon 4y agoWell, see it this way, the old owners of Twitter now have all that money. Maybe they'll invest in something interesting? The only difference is that it won't be controlled by an unstable Elon Musk. (TBH I'm not even sure who the previous owners were...)

- SkyMarshal 4y agoI'm sure they'll do something valuable with it after they finish buying back their own shares, issuing new subprime debt securities, and propping up the CCP.
- eeiopo 4y ago> that would advance his dual goals of clean energy and a multi-planet species From what I've observed over the years, his real goal is to receive attention from as many people as possible. I doubt his sincerity on his stated goals, this is most likely just self-marketing bullshittery.
- lm28469 4y ago> his dual goals of clean energy and a multi-planet species People still believe in that ?
- SkyMarshal 4y agoBased on his actual track record (and not solely on what he says), yes. Why wouldn't we?
