Elon isn’t looking to be a bit player.

Elon wants to rule.

Or he can dump his stock this week and make about $1 billion and walk away

That has to be the only reason, he wants controlling interest.

I don’t think he did this for a measly billion.

What’s a billion, when you already have hundreds of those?

He would have just been one person against the rest of the board. It would have been a frustrating waste of his time.

I think there are a lot of stockholders who will give him their proxy.

He may do it because he’s had all the fun he wants and it’s time to go do something else pick it up $1 billion for a weeks work ain’t bad

“I think there are a lot of stockholders who will give him their proxy”.

Good thinking!

Dumping that much that fast would send the stock tanking

He doesn’t strike me as a man who’s in any of it just ‘for fun’.

He seems to have goals that we likes working toward.

Maybe you can call that ‘fun’ - but I don’t think the money has ever been the point with this man.

He didn’t invest in Twitter because he needs money

They answered their own question ... "as a fiduciary of the company where he, like all board members, has to act in the best interests of the company ..."

Now the gloves are off and he can do whatever the F**k he wants without getting into legal trouble.

Burn baby BURN!

Oh, he is! Check out his solution for solving San Francisco’s homeless problem: https://www.thestreet.com/technology/musk-and-sf-homeless-crisis

SPOILER: “Convert Twitter SF HQ to homeless shelter since no one shows up anyway,” Musk wrote.
