Considering that Tesla's SP could have gone up if Elon hadn't bought Twitter, $244 billion might be too low.

Are you 100% certain about that?
Because it could’ve also gone down even without the perceived controversy.
Good video full of reasonable suggestions. I think Dave did a good job of saying that Elon's tweets are bad for Tesla without saying that Elon's tweets are bad for Tesla.

Still astounded that Elon Musk went full QAnon. It’s such a nightmare for investors, customers, employees…
Well someone is offering to take twitter off Elon's hands for $18.5 per share in cash. If he takes that deal and plows it back in Tesla at these prices, he may triple his money and make it even or get ahead of his original purchase price if / when Tesla is back to ATH.
Though to be fair, this might very well be a joke and has about zero chance of happening.

For being a self proclaimed centrist … he oddly enough chooses to interact with and amplify a lot of bathsh*t crazy and highly partisan accounts… 5 seconds on Liz account tells you that there isn’t a Covid theory she isn’t believing in and that democrats are the devil. Very centrist. Oh well. Either interacting with trolls on Twitter OR ensuring that Tesla doesn’t give wildly inaccurate guidance to Wall Street. Priorities…
Oh I forgot to add if in the unlikely scenario this deal goes thru, there is probably >50% chance, Elon loses his Twitter account.
That would be the most ironic outcome.
I think he stopped interacting with catturd2 after that tweet about EVs being bad for the environment. I hope these other guys tweet something similar.
Or maybe not. Any idea what happens if all his new found Twitter buddies tweet that EVs are bad?

Minor issues.
First: Twitter was purchased for $44B, not $244B, of which Elon put up a bit more than half - getting the rest from friends and the inevitable takeover-loan that the new Twitter must now pay.
Second: Most of the people being hand-reinstated by Elon (after he promised to use an independent review board that he's abandoned) were banned for basic TOS violations - hate speech, racism, personal threats, etc.

I didn’t mean to imply that those people were illegitimately banned, I was just saying that Elon blew $244B because *he* thought a bunch of nazis and other right wingers needed to be un-banned.
Meanwhile his staunchest fans are taking the ironic approach of praising him for unbanning nazis whilst simultaneously banning TMC members who point out his flaws.

You keep saying you didn't mean the exact words you said. And you keep claiming $244B when the sale price which Elon paid only a portion of was $44B.
Is there a reason for these ongoing factual problems in your posts?

Most people think they themselves are centrists, no matter how insane/extreme their beliefs are. Especially people as "good" at self-reflection as current-day Elon. This also partially explains why so many still think the 2020 election was stolen: "I am a centrist, and most voters are centrists. But the election did not go my way so it was clearly stolen!".

I’m assuming Elon’s additional personal loss of $200B wasn’t just because of the tax credit bill he fought for and mostly won.

Miss Wheeler resembles Elons archetype, the rest is unscientific anti vaxxer heaven.
It feels as if he is driving down the TSLA Stock on purpose.

Not sure about the friends label though.
He blew their money.
