Elon Musk misled Twitter investors ahead of $44 billion acquisition, jury says

[removed]

Except exactly one thing: The only enemy of rich people are other rich people. These weren't just "the poors" who got shafted (along with all of the employees that worked for Twitter and the brand name itself), these were investors who want their f****** money back. They're going to hurt him as hard as their money is able because it's the only thing that truly works in this fucked up country.

To be fair, worst comes to worst, they have to resign from a public facing position and go on a mega yacht trip for a while.

Ah, but this affects rich people, so there may actually be a chance.

What’s the deal with the cannibalism stuff? Out of the loop on this one. I sorta choose to be but I now feel like, no way, not real.

This. Fines are just the cost of business, if they even have to pay it (getting a ruling is often easier than collecting).

Sounds like they should be 44 billion

It's a reference to that video of him carrying his own sink into the Twitter building

When he bought Twitter, [he walked in with a sink](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1585341984679469056), as a part of some sort of "let that sink in" pun. It makes as much sense now as it did back then, so... kicking him out of twitter and throwing the sink out after him would be a nonsensical poetic parallel.

But the investors thought *they* would get rich off his lies! 

news would be if they’re ever held accountable

Pretty much! ‘The corrupt pointed the finger blaming everyone else for being corrupt!’ The current administration in general is all about that

You're saying the $80B Zuck just ditched on the metaverse is not a big enough warning sign to investors? Better not mention the cost of upgrading AI data centres every 3-5years, lol!

They know the quants use engagement based algos, so they just make noise in the media to make their stonks go up. I'm sure that's going to get fixed soon. Which it does correlate to be clear. The media marketplace is not an efficient market, it's highly filtered and censored. So any noise they can make, is more noise than none. Then that noise is going to get massively amplified by the media distribution process. That noise always brings some investors in because you can short stonks too. There's something else going on too because you can tell there's weird pressure on their stonk right before bad news comes out. So, there's some kind of insider nonsense going on as well to "make the down swings go away so the stonk always goes up and to the right." It's almost guaranteed to be pure stonk manipulation. Then if they're using crypto to pump their assets up, that's not totally liquid, so that's "false value." If they go to sell a huge amount of crypto, that tanks the entire crypto market. So, "the value is not real." So, if people are investing into a company that holds crypto, they're overpaying based upon the value of the assets, because some of that value is not real because as soon as they go to sell it, it tanks...

I never thought it was possible to have like 20 kids and still be an incel, but Elon has proven me wrong.

Which ones aren’t? *Edit: inb4 gaben, he’s generally exempt*

Yes, they hideously misunderstand how much luck had to do with their rise to power. If you're smart you know that kind of success is just luck and hard work, if you're not smart you think it's because you're just naturally superior to everyone else for any number of bigoted reasons.

We all hate him and he thought he'd be cool

I dont think it is terribly coincidental that a number of his co-investors had interest in crippling or destroying what was arguably the most powerful tool of protest and dissent in human history. Arab Spring, Occupy Wall street, BLM, Metoo, so on and so on… organized and galvanized primarily on the platform. Thats gone now, and nothing has come close to replacing it on the scale it was previously.

Made billions in return? Can you explain? I know he way overpaid, but how did it end up being a net benefit?

The user base also refuses to leave despite crying about all the shit he's done.. people are pathetic 

Here's the CSAM you requested. Heil Grok.

Elon and Kimbal were both clients of Epstein but yeah I dunno if they hang out as friends. Epstein trafficked minors to the Musk brothers.

with money* he hates poor people

He likely doesn’t have an income.

No he wouldn’t. In the past 50 years, have you ever seen a rich person face consequences? Bernie Madoff is all I can think of.

Jury compensation should be tax free and equal to either the median wage in the area, or your current earnings at the time. Whichever is higher.
