Did they hand a list of demands to the security guard as they were escorted out?

If he did this deal correctly, he doesn’t need to make a lot of profit on this to make this work. If he makes a billion or 2 billion profit, it should be workable.

Hes not doing this because he’s conservative.
Nonetheless his actions align with conservatives desire for actual free speech on online platforms, as opposed to the current norm of only liberals masquerading as determining who can say what.

Dropping 75% of the useless woke “workforce” there will help attain some goals.

Given all the Twitter peeps who said they would leave if Musk bought Twitter, ‘house cleaning’ should not be an issue...../s

I love how the LAAP-dog media was afraid of this deal because of the things that Musk has said about important issues, without ever blinking an eye at the public policy influence of Jeff Bezos after he took over the Washington Post.

Ahh, the world of high finance.
“said he would pay for the acquisition mostly with cash, some contributed by co-investors, and $13 billion in debt”.
Wish I could “Pay” for the things I want with “$13 billion in debt”.
I thought only Gov. Org. routinely “Paid” for things with debt!
In a sane world “Paying” with debt would be impossible as it is not “Payment” at all.

And what do you think the huge credit card debts in America are about?
To: Ex gun maker.
U should not talk like that, people will stop and think and the whole system will fall apart!

Betcha she has a Tesla. 😂

My mortgage is secured by my home, at no more than half of appraised value.
The 3% rate will provide the investors with a hefty profit at my expense.
Credit cards are financed via usury, currently around 25% interest rate.
And again the creditors have a hold on your assets.
There are limits to bankruptcy.
What I see with this Debt Transfer is not the same.
No, I’m not a financier, just a guy who tries to apply some measure of what used to be called “Common sense”.

His loan is also secured by his assets, such as his stock ownership in Tesla, Space-X, etc.

Even the wikipedia page on Vijaya Gadde describes her Twitter employment in the past tense.
They’re fast.

You think those who invested in Musk's Twitter are clueless and don't know what they are doing, as compared to say credit card debts?
How much credit card debts end up in default?
And who has ever lost any money investing money in Elon Musk's ventures?
He is Elon Musk, the greatest entrepreneur of our time.
