Its not known how many more shares Elon has to sell to meet Twitter commitments.
Depending on investors willingness to pour in more.

It does make the P/E ratio more attractive, but then you have to look at how in debt Tesla is and when it needs to refinance in a high interest market as well.

Twitter ex-employees going Hungry?

Twitter is having problems paying the severance offered to get people to just leave.

Then there is rent.
Such mundane things for a man who will save the earth and make us interplanetary.
Give us a discount mate.

Congratulations Elon!

The public television in Germany has officially awarded you the satirical jackass and incompetence award of the year 2022, together with two other recipients, the Minister of Defense and the noblewoman Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, you are in good company there! 😆

Wow, suspended for the cardinal sin of seeking comment from Musk on why he's doing what he's doing 🙄

Another "free speech" moment from Musk

https://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/social-networking/300768926/twitter-bans-users-from-linking-to-prohibited-platforms-facebook-and-instagram

One wonders if the plot is to load twitter with everyones debt and have it collapse leaving the small players out of pocket.

I actually think he should continue to head up Twitter and post as frequently as possible.
It’s allowing us to see his true colours.

Helpful for community discourse? Maybe not. But seeing how thin people’s skin is - priceless.

Thin-skinned is right. Even though he has all the money in the world (almost) and 10(?) kids, he must also have all the time in the world to basically sit on Twitter all day, banning journalists or people who say "nasty" things about him or ask him "hard" questions.

One wonders what he actually did with his time before he purchased Twitter.

Refusing to pay vendors or property owners for no valid reason is just poor form. I feel for the smaller vendors where this could have direct flow on effects for their operations.

from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/twitter-elon-musk-severance_n_6399046fe4b0c2814647e679:
But the Times reported that Twitter leaders have discussed how the company could deny the payments it had agreed to and then just wait for lawsuits from the stiffed ex-workers

I missed this post but this is sickening.
You laid-off half of your workforce. You had to offer x months of pay to comply with federal and state laws... and you are screwing over your workforce by contemplating forcing them to take legal action to get whats owed to them? Sick sick sick

(by you, I mean Musk, not @ezbee :P )
