Hopefully this all changes with Musk:

Is he a douchebag because he’s just another billionaire, or are there billionaires who aren’t douchebags in your estimation?

Serious question. Because I’d really like to be a billionaire one day, but if it automatically makes me a douchebag, I’m not sure.

Stupid people despise success; never understanding what it really means.

Jealousy is a bitch.

I have personally met three billionaires in my life. Also many millionaires (when it meant something). The billionaires are not necessarily people I would choose to have a beer with but:

1. I’m not super social, and

2. I think that’s because of their personalities and not necessarily their wealth.

Luck is a huge part of monster wealth. Like fame, vast wealth may change people over time. It just depends on the person. Bill Gates for example thought he could hang out with Jeffrey Epstein and not have to pay the consequences. Stupid fuck.

But how much wealth (aka jobs) does Microsoft return to its employees? I know a lot of people that have worked there. Microsoft made 10,000 millionaires in Redmond, Wa by 1995. My children went to school with a Kids of those parents.

My oldest became very entrepreneurial at age 15 working at the elbows of some of those millionaires in Redmond, Wa. Those experiences serve him quite well to this very day some decade later. He is so far ahead of degreed staff on how business actually needs to run. Bumps heads w/ others who “read a mgmt book”.

Yes, remember how Margaret Rudkin did it?

I'm sure there are billionaires who are not douchbags. Maybe Warren Buffett?

I met a lot of people who are not rich and are douch bags.

The problem is not with Musk so much but maybe our expectations of him is this case.

From what I know of both of them, I'd take Musk over Buffett.

Maybe…

Elon Musk tries to buy Twitter for $41BILLION: Tesla CEO offers $54.20 a share and says if his offer is not accepted 'I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder. Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it'

Go get 'em, Elon.

He’s put them in a tight spot, either he gets it or he walks and that stock tanks so bad it will collapse the company.

Brilliant mofo if you ask me.

I’m sure the blue-hair Alphabet Mafia along with the Biden regime will fight this tooth and nail.

Elon Musk scares the sh*t outta the Progressive, Libtarded, Communist MoFo’s that are currently running this country. Elon is trying to make Twatter a non-biased platform as it was originally intended, and the freedom-hating f**ktards of this nation are trying to destroy him for it.

God bless, Elon…give ‘em hell and force feed ‘em a sh*t sandwich!!

Elon Musk now saying that $43 billion gets it done; 100%.

Could he not control the company with 51%? Why buy the whole thing? Just because you can?

What good news to wake up to on my birthday. Sell the company to him or watch him tank it.

I hope the twatter employees are melting down and considering taking high dives out of their offices.

I'm sure the current administration will try with the full weight of the Just Us Département and the SEC to stop this. probably also a lot of fabricated crap will come out about Musk and Tesla which will require the fbi and every other crooked agency to investigate.

If Elon Musk buys Twitter, he will be the first African American to own a major social media platform. This is a great day for diversity. Another glass ceiling shattered!

Minority share holders have rights that might thwart Elon’s plans.

Buy it, take it private, reorg in your time, doing what you want, without federal regulations requiring disclosure of your actions, intentions, business ideas etc.

Then roll it back out with a new IPO with Musk as champion and sell stock, making $150 billion.

Laugh on the way to the bank..

The Left is FREAKING today

They do not want free speech on this platform

Bunch of goddam commies, I hope he pulls this off

My guess is they will start a new one and take many of the blue checks with them. The media will back them and try to turn it into another MySpace vs FB.
