Spacex still is single handedly outcompeting rest of the world, including nations combined, Tesla even with its shitty cars is turning profits, and starlink somehow became profitable too. Musk has more luck than all of his critics combined and you will seethe until you die a meaningless death that he was """stupid""". None of the engineers who work for him believe it, and only midwits who resent him or boomers with zero grasp on just how much the world has changed since they had last done anything worthwhile think Elon Musk is stupid.

      Labels. Pigeon holes. Elon is easy to hate because he's missing something that other people take for granted. Some people say empathy, humility, discretion. Asperger's, autism, whatever.
      Certainly timing and semi stuttering when speaking shows something is off.
      But I've come to believe he understands that history will ultimately judge him by his actions, and the actions of his companies.
      And he wants to change the world. That necessarily requires working in areas that greatly impact society, and doing it successfully necessarily generates wealth and power.
      Do I cringe every time he has the hubris to say something like "Free speech is important for a functioning democracy, therefore I think I need to take Twitter over to try to bolster the safeguards in place"? Yes. But after holding TSLA for 8 years, I've come to believe this is actually a likely outcome.
      Actually I feel Patrick and Elon share some personality quirks, but where Elon's speech timing is stuttering, Patrick's is perfect.

Maybe not you, but the general public thinks he's Tony Stark. They think he invents technology. His money kickstarted two companies that invent technology. And those companies are much bigger than him. I never even said I have a problem with him. I have a problem with how the public perceives him. And I have a sever problem with people hitching their hopes for a green future to one person no matter who that is. Last thing, while operating electric cars is clean if you have clean energy, making them is dirty and not remotely sustainable. The same can be said of his solar company dirty manufacturing. And SpaceX too. When have you heard him address all of the petroleum based plastic and rubber his cars depend on? If so great I haven't heard him say a thing about it. And if he plays a part in a sustainable transition, wonderful good on him. Let me ask you though, do we really need to throw ourselves at his feet? Would you not work towards a green future given the resources to make change? At any rate he's a businessman not an engineer and that's fact not opinion.

    Patrick, honest question: if Elon bought 10% of stock and it(stock) moved with the market (same as SNP) then:
    1) why did it do so? Never saw any sign of anomaly growth. Shouldn't it have sky rocketed with so much buying pressure? Why did it only start to grow when Elon announced the stake?
    2) why would it now fall when he sells?
    Thank you.

      Are you actually mentally challenged?
      1) Because he bought earlier, not all at once. Then news broke and others started buying.
      2) Because 10% got dumped back & it was a sell from Elon fucking Musk lol

      Twitter turns over so many shares each day it would be easy to build a stake without really affecting the share price. It could have been accumulated over a long period without much problem.

      @@pavel7063 Just had a look. From 1 FEB to 1 APR Twitter did outperform the S&P by 2%. Then from 1 APR to the day before the offer date (13 APR) it overperformed the SNP by a big margin - 19.6%.
      Not sure where you are getting your figures from but you might like to check if you are looking at the right data.
      The S&P was pretty level over this period but remember that the main selling pressure this years has been in tech stocks. The NASDAQ 100 underperformed the S&P by about 1% over the last 3 months due to the prospect of higher interest rates which impact these growth companies more. I suspect therefore there were plenty of people willing to sell Twitter shares and that means there would have been plenty of twitter shares available to buy without it really being noticed. It does look like from the beginning of April the buying pushed the price up a lot though.
      If the bid doesn't go through then Musk could dump all his shares on the market at once which would push the price down. Would he do this? He might if he is spiteful and doesn't care about throwing money away. If he is sensible he would sell them into the market over a longer period so he doesn't reduce the value of his holding as he sells it.
      There is a chance that if the bid fails (I expect it will) then the price will drop anyway. This is simply because all investors will know there will be a steady stream of shares coming onto the market as Musk sells off his holding. That supply will add to the regular supply of shares being turned over and could depress the price for some time.

    A minor point, but if a shareholder has a 15% share and the other shareholders receive one additional share for each share they hold then the shareholder's stake will be reduced to 8.1% not 7.5%
