    No, didn't imply just simply stated that any money he spent on Twitter was almost made up for. Plus, when SpaceX goes public(if it does), Musk most likely inch that much closer to be the first trillionaire.

    If you've been in the industry since 97 and don't understand how Musk's purchase of Twitter affected TSLA stock, then you are incompetent. Stock values are based on expectations.

    Musk’s radicalization has definitely hurt Tesla. Teslas core customers tended to lean left, and a lot of them now wouldn’t touch a Tesla due to Elon. Much of Musks radicalization played out on Twitter.

    Not just that. Musk had to sell a huge amount of TSLA stock to buy Twitter. Both the expectation of that and the actuality of it caused TSLA stock to drop. Between April and December 2022 he sold around $22 billion of TSLA. And he managed to turn that 22 billion worth of TSLA stock into about $5 billion worth of twitter ownership. He bought Twitter for 44B and it's supposedly worth about 9B now.

    Maybe you don’t understand. TSLA has zero to do with X. It’s like Bezos with Amazon and the Washington Post. One thing has nothing to do with the other. It’s ok, just take the L on this and let it go.

    this needs to be kept fresh, more and more examples daily. he had no clue what reporters were talking about when they asked about the visas for the foreign students

    come on MAGA, you have no problem calling out Biden. Can't you see this?

    Who is in charge at the WH? Stephen Miller? fyi, his wife just left with Elon...ewww

    'His mind is gravy': Alarm as confused Trump stumbles on question - Raw Story

    "I'm gonna keep ringing this bell, by which I mean: INCREDIBLY disturbing and f--ked up that the guy *in charge of the government* never seems to *know what the f--k is going on in the government*" said Nina Starner, writer for Looper, a film and television news site.

    "His mind is gravy," quipped cultural marketing expert Noah Mallin.

    "Who is running the United States of America??" questioned Canadian Galen Naidoo Harris, who does constituency work for a member of parliament.

    The Boston Globe better be careful not to slander/libel the POTUS into ownership of their political rag.

    So you want the MSM to be punished for not reporting on Biden's mental state but also you want them punished for reporting on Trump's mental state?

    Uncouth and undisciplined does not equal dementia. We just had four years of dementia.

    deaf, dumb, and donald..lol..that is how the world sees us

    everyone outside the cult knows they are lying to themselves and yet they continue to do so

    Lutnick directly lying to the court.

    Deaf, dumb, and Donald
    Despite India maintaining that its truce with Pakistan following Operation Sindoor involved no third party, the Trump administration on May 23 told a New York court that the two nations reached a "tenuous ceasefire" only after US President Donald Trump "interceded".

    The remarks were made by US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in a submission to the Court of International Trade last week. Lutnick further added, "he (Trump) offered both nations trading access with the US to avert a full-scale war".

    The commerce secretary cited the ceasefire to explain why the worldwide and reciprocal tariffs, which are now struck down by the federal court, were crucial to the US president's ability to conduct real-world diplomacy.

    Trump administration's move, which puts false credits on record in federal court filings, not only underscores the team Trump's desperate need to portray itself as the world's indispensable mediator but may actively damage diplomatic relations, too.

    Apparently Trump thinks he has a right to libel and slander. In fact defamation has been a feature rather than a bug of Trump's speeches and social media posts.

    I have watched him in numerous interviews and other incidents where he has been on the air- not sure what y'all are seeing but I do not see any cognitive decline

    Not seeing it like you somehow didn't see the billions in crypto he and his family are making from foreigners. Pretty easy to miss if you're willfully blind.
