Eh, I get your point, but I think you are overestimating how unhappy the extreme Left is with Twitter compared to their opposites on the other end of the political spectrum.
Technology Elon Musk: The Worlds Richest Man

The best way to destroy the extreme left is to simply make them follow their own rules.
The second best way to hurt them is to have a set of rules every one has to follow and then not give them preferential treatment.
The current system of rules for thee but not for me is where they thrive.

I tried to get on Facebook, but it was too much of a hassle and currently working on another social media website to join.

Florida's pension fund owns about 0.13% of twitter (~$45mn). DeSantis speaking up carries weight in different ways than what Musk says or does.
Hmm...Florida's pension fund could sell to Musk and make some money for its members!
So I was right, Elon did secure financing:
Not a surprise to most in this thread, but useful info for the others.

No, it's not. He already bought that. That cost him $3B. This is $25.5B in loans plus Elon promising he can pony up $21B (not sure if it counts the $3B).

So as I (And Dr. Doom) thought he will have to sell or use as collateral a decent amount of his Tesla stock.
Also, this might have been some form of bluff and he might have expected a poison pill and/or the Usual Suspects to raise a stink about it.
The guy is pretty good at gouging and manipulating public opinion and those in power, IMHO.
On a related note, it looks like he is going after Netflix next.
I am very skeptical and suspicious of the snake oil salesman, but still:
I doubt he is actually going to try to buy Netflix. Netflix worth about 5 times what he offered for Twitter, and is actually profitable.So as I (And Dr. Doom) thought he will have to sell or use as collateral a decent amount of his Tesla stock.

I don't think he will, either.TBH this is just some loud activism on his part.
Maybe because he wants to deflect attention from some of his previous ventures, like crypto pump and dumps and some interesting call options trades, but hey, if he is trolling Woke Inc I am all for it.
Also, as I said, he doesn't really need to buy 51% to be a major nuisance and squeeze Netflops's board and CEO by the balls, maybe buys some stock and starts greenmailing them or goes into a proxy fight with them.
Also, Netflix stock lost 2/3 of its value since the start of the year.
If things continue in this direction they might be reasonably valued at some point next year, it just needs to lose another 25-50%, and it fixes its shit and starts paying a dividend. You know, actual RoE, not just sky high, baseless valuations.
Big Cap stocks are starting to get shot though, so we gonna see lots of firesales soonish.

there is no place for politics and that stuff in business (unless you're part of the military industrial complex, which means you're certainly going to Hell)

Just as I predicted from the get-go: Musk all but certain to take over Twitter.
Big question is whether we'll see former President Trump back on Twitter ?
