Nazis actually would flock to Twitter if the sale was approved. But it probably won't be.
CNBC: It's not often that a company receives a takeover bid that amounts to an 18% stock premium only to see its shares fall on the news. That's what happened to Twitter on Thursday after Tesla CEO Elon Musk submitted a bid to buy the company for $54.20 a share, or about $43 billion. The stock dropped 1.7% to close at $45.08 for a market cap of $34 billion. In other words, investors don’t expect the deal to happen.
If Elon did buy Twitter, he'd have to continue to restrict "free speech". Unless his goal would be to bankrupt Twitter. Twitter makes it's money via advertising. What company would want to advertise on Twitter if the NeoNazis, White Supremacists and disinformation spreaders were allowed to run wild?
I'm sure an official Kremlin account would be one you'd immediately follow. Do they have one on "Truth Social" yet?
When I was a kid, I used to risk getting my ass whooped by my grandfather for kicking the side of his chicken coop to watch the panic that ensued as all of the chickens tried to get out of the chicken coop at the same time. It was hilarious.
Elon Musk is just kicking the chicken coop. He'll buy Twitter or not when the share prices drop to an amount he can borrow money from the bank to buy it and pay back over time while interest rates are relatively low and can be locked in. The chicken coop will get a more open door, or the chickens will kill each other. Tweet tweet!
The Fed is trapped. They can't raise interest rates. Monetary policy is dead, which is why they need to move currency on-line to digital and let the algorithms' calculate the differences between dollars and Yuan..
No surprise Beamish is a sadist who enjoys torturing animals. He comes from a family of sadists, apparently.
Instead of paying off the national debt (as per his absurd lie that he would), dotard donald increased the national debt 36%. What happens when an incompetent bufoon gets into the White House. While our fantastic President Joe Biden aims to reduce the deficit by 1.3 trillion, the largest one-year reduction ever.
The Fed can, and will raise interest rates, at least until Americans turn all of the inflationary $7 Trillion stay-home-for-Covid largesse into something.
If you scare the shit out of them first (and get the adrenochrome flowing) does that make the chicken more tasty?
What we need to do is elect at least two more Democrats to the Senate so the Build Back Better legislation can get to Joe Biden's desk and he can sign it into law. You have to spend money to make money. republiturds voted against it because they want to tank the economy to make Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats look bad. The same reason Abbott is holding up trade at the Mexican border. Economic sabotage. If the republiturds regain power the American people will pay dearly.
Hearings concerning the imaginary laptop and the impeachment of Joe Biden for doing a fantastic job are not witch hunts the American people want. At least it isn't what the non-stupids want.
I never said I hated Rush. Rush Limbaugh, yes. Rush the band? No. I am totally unfamiliar with their music or who is in the band. Someone in the band must be Jewish, otherwise your comment makes no sense. It makes no sense even if someone in the band is Jewish because I never said I hated Rush or Jewish people. Idiot.
Readers' Poll: The 10 Best Rush Songs. Can't say I remember ever hearing any of these songs, because I don't. The article says there is a Rush song title "Xanadu" but I don't buy it. That's an Olivia Newton-John song.
Rush a Libertarian Band? Not if Alex Has Any Say in It. So much ink and so many pixels have been spent talking about the libertarian references in Rush’s music, particularly in the band’s early days, that you might be excused in thinking Rush is a libertarian rock band, as some critics and other writers have too-glibly described them. But Alex Lifeson is no libertarian.
In an April 2012 interview with High Times magazine, Alex makes clear that his politics veer left, and in fact he describes himself as a liberal. “I’m certainly socially liberal", he says. “And I think government can play an important role in our lives, which libertarians don’t believe. As far as our album 2112 and the tribute to Ayn Rand — I read one of her books, but she was a little too far out for me. For Neil, it was a period in his life, and now he’s kind of moved on". ...
...I don’t want to get political, but our whole drug policy is out of whack. Billions of dollars are spent on it – and, really, the only people who profit from it are the underworld, for lack of a better term. So why not put that money into controlling the quality and putting more money into the coffers for our social programs, for people who need health care, who are starving...
Derpy hates Xanadu because songs that are 11 minutes long strain his attention span.
I am the entertainer I come to do my show You heard my latest record It's been on the radio Ah, it took me years to write it They were the best years of my life It was a beautiful song but it ran too long If you're gonna have a hit you gotta make it fit So they cut it down to 3:05.
Geddy Lee: One the last tour, Michael Moore came to one of our shows, and we found out that he's a big Rush fan. He was saying that very thing to us about Subdivisions, and he quotes Subdivisions at the top of his last book. And I thought that was fascinating, because I have a lot of respect for him and I love what he does; he's smart, and he's a moral guy. Then, a couple paragraphs later there is this gem:
I didn't know [Rush Limbaugh] was using our music. Apparently, he's been using Spirit of Radio for quite a few years; We didn't know that. And I wouldn't know where to find his radio show, he's such an offensive human being; I try not to bring that into my life. Anyway, this gentleman who works for The Huffington Post wrote to us and made us aware of it.
We did a similar thing with Rand Paul, the Libertarian candidate-he's like a Tea Party guy, he's Ron Paul's son-earlier this year. We heard he was using our music on his campaign and actually quoting lyrics of ours, and we sent him a nice letter saying, "Please don't do this."
I don't want to be seen as sponsoring these guys. ... link.
...and if you knew anything about Rush, you'd know Neil Peart (the libertarian virtuoso drummer) wrote all their lyrics. You're beclowning yourself, Derpy.
Rolling Stone: ...you were interested in the writings of Ayn Rand decades ago. Do her words still speak to you?
Neil Peart: Oh, no. That was 40 years ago. ... I was in my early twenties. I was a kid. Now I call myself a bleeding heart libertarian. ... link.
Libertarianism Wiki: Strong BHLs believe that the fact that libertarian institutions would help the poor is not merely a contingent fact. It is an essential part of the justification of those institutions. Strong BHLs believe that libertarianism is justified insofar and to the extent that such institutions are compatible with the requirements of social justice. The idea of social justice plays not only a justificatory role for strong BHLs, but also a revisionary one. Insofar as certain elements of standard libertarianism are found to be incompatible with the requirements of social justice, Strong BHLs hold that those elements should be abandoned. Thus some Strong BHLs argue that the state might be justified in providing a universal basic income... link.
Your argument never left the airport much less flee anywhere.
Alex Lifeson is a liberal. Geddy Lee likes Michael Moore. Neil Peart called himself a "bleeding heart libertarian." None of these are incompatible except in the mind of a Billy Joel simping commie.
Why do you hate Ayn Rand? Did she tell you to stop being a parasite?
I made no argument regarding Rush. Ayn Rand didn't tell me anything. I never met her and now she's dead. "Bleeding heart libertarianism" is an oxymoron. Libertarianism is an evil idealogy which posits that it is wonderful for the wealthy to steal the fruits of the labor of those beneath them to further enrich themselves. Libertarians get a kick out of crushing the poor and helping middle class folks join them.
What's not to like about crushing the poor? That blood-curdling scream followed by a satisfactory pop of their skull when you run at them in a steamroller... Fuckin' hilarious.
Yeah, Ayn Rand called you a parasite. She was right.
The Billy Joel corporation needs to pay it's taxes and break up with Elton John. Or have Dua Lipa remake one of his listenable songs. When he makes one.
"The wealthy steal from the poor." Sounds time consuming, like fishing for ling in a sandbox. Is that why you're not rich, Derpy? You couldn't find any poor people with money to take?
I don't give a shit what Ayn Rand thought about poor people (who she hated and demonized as parasites). Her evil ideology ceased to exist the same day the world did. Which was 3/6/1982*. btw, Libertarians love parasites. As long as they're rich parasites who steal from the lower classes to give to themselves.
*not really. The world didn't end and Objectivism lives on. Unfortunately. And that is why I hate Ayn Rand.
Your question is stupid. That isn't want I said. You don't need to steal from poor people to be rich. The parasitical wealthy do it out of greed. They can never be rich enough. They want their money and your money too.
Beamishderp: "Say I wanted to start a small business but needed funding. Which homeless encampment should I sack?"
The stealing involves underpaying workers. So much so that they have no choice but to accept government welfare. Or be underinsured, live in their cars and be unable to feed their children.

“By pseudo-individuation we mean endowing cultural mass production with the halo of free choice or open market [sic] on the basis of standardization itself. Standardization of song hits keeps the customers in line doing their thinking for them, as it were. Pseudo-individuation, for its part, keeps them in line by making them forget that what they listen to is wholly intended for them or predigested.“
I always thought that part had a reggae-influenced vibe.
Funny thing about reggae... Originally the genre was musicians trying to emulate a distant rock radio station almost too far away to tune into, so the audio was constantly fading in and out, so they were only hearing the high beats at the top of a measure. If sound were light, reggae is a strobe light.
The poor aka "the source of capital" are the Makers. The wealthy owners who exploit them are the Takers. Why those on the right oppose the minimum wage and unions. They want the wealthy elites to have all the power and therefore all the money.
Taking a public company private is a big deal. The SEC and DOJ should definitely look into this. These organizations doing their jobs isn't a deep state conspiracy.
"If the game is fair, Elon will buy Twitter" = bullshit. The current owners don't want to sell to him.
"Gee, I wonder where these jobs went?" Outsourced to lower wage countries by our republican-voting corporate overlords. fyi, the republiturd agenda of destroying blue collar American jobs continued under tRump.
Richard Trumpka represents everything that's wrong with Labour in America. Labour doesn't need "representation" by corporate parasites like Trumpka. It needs to be sitting down face to face and working side by side with SAMLL BUSINESS OWNERS, not "corporate salaried bourgeoisie".
The Offshoring of U.S. Jobs Increased on Trump's Watch (10/22/2020). What Trumka said was accurate. Regardless of what you think about him personally. Although you refer to someone named "Trumpka". I don't know who that is. Richard Trumka passed away last year, btw.
The offshoring doubles every week Biden's in office. No, Trump wasn't perfect. But at least he saw, and ACTED, to try and fix the problem. Biden's just gasoline for the fire.
dotard donald was permanently suspended from Twitter for inciting violence. He should NEVER be reinstated. He has "Truth Social". Why isn't he using it?
"...Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy".
dotard donald the colluder: "I never colluded with Russia. Or tried to collude with China".
Minus the White Supremacist: "I don't support donald trump because he's a White Supremacist. I support him because he bankrupted farmers via his tariffs".
And the tariffs were in response to steel dumping, again, not Trump's fault.
Crude steel production 2020
China - 1,064.8 million metric tons India - 100.3 million metric tons Japan - 83.2 million metric tons USA - 72.7 million metric tons Russia - 71.6 million metric tons
In January 2018, Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines of 30 to 50 percent. In March 2018, he imposed tariffs on steel (25%) and aluminum (10%) from most countries, which, according to Morgan Stanley, covered an estimated 4.1 percent of U.S. imports. In June 2018, this was extended to the European Union, Canada, and Mexico. The Trump administration separately set and escalated tariffs on goods imported from China, leading to a trade war. The tariffs angered trading partners, who implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.
Sounds like China was dumping several products. Good for Trump calling China out! You would have let China turn America into a nation of burger flippers.
Having a stutter (which Biden has admitted he has had since childhood) isn't proof of dementia. What is dotard donald's excuse? LOL! Does dotard donald play Super Mario Cart with his grandkids?

They wouldn't fit. There is approximately 2 inches space under my bed.
They would if you faked 3 or 4 of them...
I don't give a sh!t about fake White Supremacists. I only care about the real ones. And they aren't welcome in my home.
You real or imaginary one?

If anyone has proven the borrow-build-pay business model works, it's Elon Musk.

Pretty sure I ate every chicken I killed.
Last I checked, the House of Representatives controls spending. Maybe we need a fiscal conservative Speaker of the House, if God makes those anymore.
The Fed can, and will raise interest rates, at least until Americans turn all of the inflationary $7 Trillion stay-home-for-Covid largesse into something.
Why not turn it into gasoline, cigarettes, and Powerball tickets?
Another non sequitur link? "Hey, I like this song" has nothing to do with the topic. Not watched.

Yeah, Ayn Rand called you a parasite. She was right.

So the poor are a, well, poor source of capital. Nobody is stealing from them. If anything, the poor steal from each other.
So some derp can't afford their lifestyle, and it's the fault of the only one that would hire their worthless ass?

The internet was created by DARPA. Of course it's meant for war.
It has a few side effects... and it's worse than a caffein buzz.
Putin was KGB. The next US President will be CIA.
...if it already isn't.
"Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation"... sound familiar?
19+ ex IC/agency "officios" so certified.
Where's Donald Trump's Twitter account?
Hunter's "laptop" *IS* Russian disinformation.
dotard donald was permanently suspended from Twitter for inciting violence. He should NEVER be reinstated. He has "Truth Social". Why isn't he using it?
"...Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy".
He isn't. Elon can't "expose" something that isn't happening.
...and you know it's not happening because BLM and Antifa's comms get promoted instead of shadow banned?
Twitter: We do not shadowban.
Re Antifa being on Twitter: Twitter says fake "Antifa" account was run by white supremacists.
Chester the Molester... "I never molest anyone."
Antifa never ran a fake white supremacist site for doxxing?
dotard donald the colluder: "I never colluded with Russia. Or tried to collude with China".
Minus the White Supremacist: "I don't support donald trump because he's a White Supremacist. I support him because he bankrupted farmers via his tariffs".
Trump raised tariff on US soybeans? Who knew?
Nobody. Exported US soybeans are tariffed by the importing country. Apparently you don't understand how tariffs work.
U.S. Farm Bankruptcies Surge 24% on Strain From Trump Trade War. 10/30/2019. Paywall.
U.S. farm bankruptcies hit an eight-year high. U.S. farm bankruptcy rates jumped 20% in 2019... 1/30/20/2020.
You said Trump bankrupted farmers with tariffs. Trump doesn't levy the tariffs that bankrupt farmers. Other government do.
So it turns out, you don't know how tariff's work.
The tariffs that impacted US farmers were in retaliation for tRump's tariffs. Person who does not understand how tariffs work is still you.
And the tariffs were in response to steel dumping, again, not Trump's fault.
Crude steel production 2020
China - 1,064.8 million metric tons
India - 100.3 million metric tons
Japan - 83.2 million metric tons
USA - 72.7 million metric tons
Russia - 71.6 million metric tons
That's 56.7% of the entire world's steel.
Trump didn't make that problem. Chine did.
The USA only produces 31% of the world's soybeans.
There was no response when tRump imposed his tariffs? Bullshit. As per Bloomberg, "U.S. Farm Bankruptcies Surge 24% on Strain From Trump Trade War".
The journalists are the judges and arbiters of trade disputes? Who knew?
If Jeff Bezos writes a WaPo headline, is he like a WTO empowered judicial spokesman?
Economists quit Trump admin after their studies showed tariffs hurt US farmers. Trump administration economists are quitting their jobs, saying they’ve faced retaliation for publishing reports highlighting how President Trump’s tariffs and other trade policies have hurt farmers. (The Hill 5/7/19).
What article did the Economist Jeff Bezos write for WaPo?
Did the tariffs hurt US Steel workers?
...cuz those are the actual tariffs DJT levied.
Maybe you should go lecture Xi about "tariff's bad"?
You aren't very good at this cause-effect thing, are you?
Steel dumping wasn't the cause? LOL!
Trump would have pretty stupid for putting a tariff on an illegal practice that wasn't needed.
donald tRump did not only place tariffs on steel.
In January 2018, Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines of 30 to 50 percent. In March 2018, he imposed tariffs on steel (25%) and aluminum (10%) from most countries, which, according to Morgan Stanley, covered an estimated 4.1 percent of U.S. imports. In June 2018, this was extended to the European Union, Canada, and Mexico. The Trump administration separately set and escalated tariffs on goods imported from China, leading to a trade war. The tariffs angered trading partners, who implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.
Sounds like China was dumping several products. Good for Trump calling China out! You would have let China turn America into a nation of burger flippers.
tRump thinks the European Union, Canada, and Mexico are China? He's even dumber than I thought.
They're the one's trying to circumvent domestic content restrictions. Ooh boo.
Trans-shipping Chinese steel through Europe, Canada, and Mexico to avoid a tariff is a non-starter.
Sounds like one of your delusions.
Then you explain the tariffs.
Incompetence.
Funny, that's how I explain Joe Biden's *Presnitency.
What's funny is that you think tRump's incompetence is competence and Biden's competence is incompetence.
Biden's last competence was in 1973. What's he has now is incontinence.
LOL.
:P
Having a stutter (which Biden has admitted he has had since childhood) isn't proof of dementia. What is dotard donald's excuse? LOL! Does dotard donald play Super Mario Cart with his grandkids?
Biden's stutter never impacted him much back in his Judiciary Committee days. So why does it now?
