If you need a license to kill deer why don’t you need one to kill humans?

Lol
USPS has suspended mail service in parts of Santa Monica, CA because the mailmen kept getting assaulted and attacked. They say it’s not safe for people to be delivering mail. Unreal. California is a hellhole. pic.twitter.com/q97kYYTT1s

Elon Musk willing to spend $41B to own the libs. I imagine if they decline his substantial offer the stock will just rank right? Especially if he starts selling his shares?

It's going to be all hands on deck for the left.

Dummy from Wapo doxxed the owner of the Libsoftiktok page, and now crying that her family and friends are being doxxed. Hate when you reap what you sow. Journalism is, and has been, dead. Clowns
Musk is an interesting guy. I’ve listened to a couple of right wing crazies in my life spend years bitching about the guy getting his business subsidized by liberals - that he’s a creation of Obama, etc. now the left wing nut jobs are losing their minds over him trying to buy twitter.
This has been a common theme amongst the woke. Very mad about big trucks.

Definitely a hard guy to characterize. A visionary like Jobs or Gates, but not a creator like them, per se. A visionary (which oddly seems to be mostly about reading the govt tea leaves and knowing when & where to hold out your hand), and clearly great at execution.
Not sure Twitter will change all that much, other than to stop sensoring Musk. Kind of funny watching conservative cheer this move when Musk has the same definition of free speech as liberals (which is people should only be allowed to say things you agree with).

posted by gutWhy do you think that? I’m skeptical of Musk myself, but I think he would definitely be for less censorship than they currently employ. Hope he fires the whole board. And will be hilarious to see the crying if he reinstates Trump.Not sure Twitter will change all that much, other than to stop sensoring Musk.

Then why spend the $46 billion?

The board hardly owns any of the stock; I think a lot of them would be sent packing. Phonies.

For starters, he has more money than he knows what to do with. Plus, he's not even putting up all the money himself as I've heard at least 1 big private equity firm going in on the deal.
Musk is a troll that doesn't like being censored or criticized. I don't see him as some grand champion of free speech.

Done deal at $44 billion.

Funny thing is this has been true of every generation since the 60s.

Jim Cramer is wrong more than right.
Liberals crying is not a surprise and shows their own bias.
I'm intrigued what if anything Elon will do. Not for or against, just interested to see if he actually changes anything. I wonder if his big ideas can fundamentally change the platform for the better.

Maybe. Social media has amplified it and made it all 100X worse. You have people growing up today afraid to have kids because of climate change - that's a person who is going to be EXTREMELY angry in 20 years when the planet is doing just fine.

He's a much better trader than analyst, I think. I don't watch him or pay any attention any more, but you've never been able to trade on him because the markets move so fast.
Like most shows, his program is more entertainment than informative. But he does teach people plenty about investing.
Trying to buy votes before the mid-terms… If you do this, how do you continue to give student loans now and in the future?
BREAKING: President Biden is looking at different options to forgive most, if not all, federal student loan debt, per @CBSNews. The move could affect more than 43 million borrowers who hold more than $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt.
