I know nothing about twitter and don't use it. Tesla stock is sinking though: 52 Week Range 177.12 - 402.67. It's at 189 per share right now.

I don't even know what to think on this. Was it just his ego driving the train? His initial comments on the matter, then posturing that he can afford it, get funding, etc...

Now already, bankruptcy is a possibility. Who gets F'd over in that deal.

I normally wouldn't bet against Elon, but this is a class 1 shit show right out of the packaging.

I see people like him in the Corporate world all the time, they are constant sources of b.s. , they think if they sling enough of it at normal people that they will be believed. They create chaos wherever they go.

They have another bigger problem on the horizon.
After "selling" verified status on Twitter for $8 a month a whole bunch of people pulled stunts.
this one was special.



It absolutely tanked the market for pharma yesterday. The whole verified status wil likely bite them in the ass.

The leader of our Province is Doug Ford, and he is pretty portly guy. The fake Doug Ford was tweeting about needing more egg sandwiches from Tim Hortons today, lol. He had the security verification symbol, but obviously it was not the real Doug Ford, lol. It was a good laugh, and people are making fools of Twitter by defeating all this security stuff.

I think that Elon has finally risen to his level of incompetency.

Never was a fan of twitter. Had an account (deactivated) but failed to see any reason to want to tweet. I guess I just don't really understand why so many social media platforms are useful.

I may be one person who goes to their grave without a single social media account. So far so good without it.
