People don't like Elon because he's rich and some people just hate anyone that's super wealthy.

That, and he trolls and some people just don't like trolls.

Nah, people don’t like him cause he’s essentially a fraud with wealth built off others work, he’s not as intelligent as he claims he is, a liar, and an absent father.

Are you saying he has fraudulent wealth, or you think his personality is a fraud, and he's also wealthy?

Agree he's most likely not a great father. I don't have the knowledge to know for sure, though.

I don't like him mostly because he's probably a very absent father yet keeps having children. That can't be great for his kids.

I started disliking him when he called the cave rescue guys pedophiles because they weren’t nice enough to him.

Since then it’s mostly because he’s completely full of ****, he’s already done a 180 on twitters “free speech”.

Ah, so it's best practice when buying a platform to troll the platform on the platform? Why don't we see this more often? Surely Musk isn't the only person to do this. If it's sound business practice it would happen all the time.

Since you obviously have bought a company under a stock purchase agreementand do understand the implications of a MAC clause, can you point us to the social media platform where you disparaged the company you were buying?
Very common. Under the MAC clause, which should be in every SPA, if you (buyer) think there is a default under this clause you will go public with how you are harmed. He did everything is his legal right under the SPA.

Happens all the time in large public deals during due diligence.

FYI - there are hedge funds with separate internal funds ($30-$40 billion in total) that do nothing but buy/sell arbitrage positions. Very common. Obviously, this is on public cos. They research the SPA, these are public docs, and all of its clauses and take a position of whether it will happen or not. A lot depends on the outstanding float and the bid/ask position and how the market is responding to the press releases.

In a face-to-face meeting, I would more than happy to show my experience.

For the most part, you issue press releases. Twitter/Social Media is a little new to game in the past 5-7 years. Again, very common during due diligence to have things go sideways and primarily related to the MAC clause.

What public company’s boards are you on?

I'm sure he's just a figure head, probably doesn't know anything about rockets at all....





By the way, if you're not following Waterloo's very own Tim Dodd, the Everyday Astronaut, what are you really doing with your life?

Twitter is dead though, you guys are right. I give it 2-3 days, tops.

I don't think people are saying this, are they? But pissing off your advertisers doesn't help.
