@Jolly said in Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter:
Tucker had a suggestion in his monologue last night... People who believe in free speech should buy Twitter stock and then let Elon have their proxies.
How much of Twitter's stock has Tucker bought?

Just trying to save you from doing what Tucker tells you to do but does not do so himself. Consider waiting to see whether Tucker puts his own money where his mouth is.

"Elon Musk has also offered to buy CNN+ for twenty-eight bucks."

Stock analyst Dan Ives thinks the deal will go through. One caveat he mentions about balancing Musk's time:
Ives also pointed out that there are likely to be a number of questions about financing the deal, regulatory concerns and how Musk would balance his time between Tesla (TSLA), SpaceX and Twitter, but the time for Twitter to accept the deal is "now or never."
I doubt Musk would want to be involved much, beyond understanding the moderation practices, and firing anybody who fashioned those practices after the demands of the pop culture mob.

Max Boot opines:
It's long been clear that an appreciation for free speech is a way in which we self-select politically, often without any intention of that appreciation having any political valence. I think we are long past the point where the buttoned-down mainstreamers, who dislike ideas different from their own, have collected themselves on the left side of the spectrum. Along with the principle-free social opportunists who would align wherever the prevailing winds blow them. Which is to say, most people.

I know very little about Mr. Musk or his politics.
But I enjoy this story, I think I could get along with him.

I remember when really rich people bought yachts and Ferrari's, and blew all their money at the casino in Monte Carlo whilst simultaneously being given oral pleasure by supermodels.
This guy builds electric cars and when he wants to have some illicit fun, says "What the heck, let's go crazy and buy a website!"
The modern world sucks. And not in a good way like those supermodels.
(I know, I know, he's been into space like Doctor Evil. He's probably getting pleasured by a supermodel as we speak)

In other words, you don't have a clue nor do you feel the need to acquire one

Maybe Twitter’s Board really wants to sell and is just looking for an outside advisor to rubber-stamp its foregone conclusion.

He’s still fuming after Musk compared him to Justin Trudeau. This could really tip him over the edge.

It’s a setup. My guess? He’s already got a new platform ready to roll out next month.

Yup. And as I posted earlier, Musk made an offer to buy that platform as well for $28.
Not $28 billion. $28 dollars.
