It's hard to outbid someone who has more money. What was Tesla worth in 2008 when it was a few days away from bankruptcy.
It isnt hard to outbid Musk. You just have to be willing to do it. Find the financing. Get the people together.
Musk was pretty clear he wasn’t going to get into a bidding war.
So if the libs want twitter they can have it. Just get the big dogs together. The problem is that Twitter isn’t worth 44 billion and they probably don’t want to spend their money to buy it.
