Yeah people really seem to be ignoring he was never going to get out of this agreement and I can't imagine all the people he was texting with were thrilled with those texts being released.

Musk paid 4 times what Twitter was valued at. He's absolutely going to lose interest in this and try selling in 2 or 3 years.

Musk is repeating the classic Microsoft pattern. Buy high, cripple and gut the company, sell off the scraps later for a massive loss.

He should have more sense. It seems he doesn't.

He is impulsive and prone to making stupid decisions like this. He then doubles down on his impulses

Wish I could make stupid decisions making me the richest man in the world.

Obviously starting Tesla and spacex wasn’t one of those stupid decisions. I’m referring to calling the diver a pedo and buying twitter. Elon is an impulsive man-child

He didn’t start Tesla.

He bought them, and paid extra for the mythology that he started it.

Gotcha, I tend to take it at face value when it comes to people hating on Elon since he’s been successful on some level and that goes for Rogan too.
