Elon & Twitter

[Daniel in SD]

Discovery is . Surprised this hasn't been posted yet, a huge collection of text messages from and to Elon.https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23108357/redacted-version-of-exhibits-a-j-to-letter-to-the-honorable-kathaleen-st-j-mccormick-from-edward-b.pdf

Just two engineers turned manager bonding. Happy days.
Two days later...

Well that escalated quickly! What the hell did Parag say to Elon during their conversation?
Maybe Parag is the mastermind that convinced him to buy... setting himself up for a $60 million payday.

Jack trying to patch things up later that month.

This appears to be the article referenced: The Battle of the Century: Here's What Happens if Elon Musk Buys Twitter - Revolver News

I think this is the only name that is redacted. Who is it?
There is no response from Elon.

Not sure why they think these are cringe, the texts are interesting and funny maybe, but not at all cringe.

What the texts do show, albeit limitedly, is that Elon Musk's private behavior is very much consistent with his public behavior, an admirable trait for someone with his level of wealth.

Yeah, where's the cringe in any of this? That's standard Elon.

My favorite text was the one where Parag went on a whole PR-style meander about how he's desperately trying to change Twitter and Elon isn't helping.

Elon's response was something like......"What did you do this week to acheive that?"

Love it. If you're such an engineer, show me what you've actually done to make improvements.

This is cringe:

And this (though maybe it's a South African thing.)

The real cringe is all the people sucking up to Elon and presenting their ideas for how to fix Twitter. One guy was trying to get his son hired which was pretty cringy.

Elon was going to lose the Vernon Unsworth lawsuit - he didn't
Elon was going to lose the Solar City lawsuit - he didn't
Each time I was sure he was going to lose because I was reading biased reporting on the cases.
So this time with the Twitter case, I don't believe much that is reported . . .most of it comes with a bias.
I have no expectations on whether Elon wins or loses . . .and I really don't care . . . imo, it won't impact the company or the stock long term.

Delaware Court of Chancery is extremely board/corporate friendly. Elon is on the wrong side of that this time.

Elon Musk May Have a Way to Challenge Alphabet's Flagship - TheStreet

Tesla's CEO, a big user of social media, is frustrated with Google's YouTube platform.

www.thestreet.com

The richest man in the world might have a way to attack YouTube head-on. This would be the video-sharing platform Rumble, which is rising in popularity. Musk isn't ruling out chatting with the Rumble CEO soon, he recently tweeted.

Elon is chummy with some horrible people.

Looks like Twitter is done producing documents related to mDAU (https://courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Download.aspx?id=338470)

Maybe I'm thinking way to much about Elon's plans and motivations but I thought it was odd that he mentioned twice at AI Day 2 how important it was the Tesla is a public company and that he can be fired. The impression I've always gotten is that he's very happy that SpaceX is a private company and he did try to take Tesla private too. Maybe he has some plan to take Twitter public again after fixing it?

Early on, Elon clearly stated, multiple times, that after a period of "a few years" he would re-IPO Twitter. After it's issues, in his eyes, were fixed.

Yeah I thought his statements about Tesla being public were ironic considering the past.

Seems like Twitter stock is rising at the same rate as Tsla is falling...I guess the markets think Elon could lose this..of course all he has to do is present a bad defense and Twitter stock could rise above $54 and he wins...

First- why would it rise above the price what anyone is willing to pay for it? So that makes no sense.

Second-How does he then win? The agreement to buy twitter includes the requirement that the stock will be de-listed so it's not like he could then dump his shares back for a profit (and who the heck would buy THOSE at above his crazy high price?)
