Oddly however, the other counterfactual of Musk being incompetent did not come up. This is after all, a person that paid the SEC $40m and has to have a company lawyer review what he tweets about Tesla.

[Stupulous]

It would not have made sense to discuss Musk's competence in context because Musk doesn't have autonomy over how Twitter chooses to respond to this.

[Bubble_Pop_22]

He has autonomy into buying the absolute top of the 13 year bubble. Locking the purchase price at t minus 4/6 months. In 4/6 months when the acquisition is completed the S&P could be at 3210 and he'd have paid 54.20/share.

Or even sub 3000 if inflation becomes deeply entrenched in the economy.

If it gives him a cover story to sell $TSLA shares when that company is valued more than the next ten automakers put together, he’s at least getting a bit diversification and is winning on that side while losing on the Twitter side.

This. I'm surprised it's not talked about more.

[MrMan]

yeah TSLA has to be feeling like a big of a golden cage at this point. 20 more years of making cars? sounds exciting

[rhizome]

Musk's competence has to do with "this" being a thing at all. He started it!
