    And shockingly,  the Texas AG is announces he is going to investigate the number of bots because somehow that affects Texans.  The only Texan I can think of that it affects is Musk, who recently moved his HQ there.

    Correct, which at least they're admitting that governments work for corporations.

    Another brutal day on the street so far. Is the bottom close? Some really good PE ratios starting to emerge, Apple at 21 and Google at 19, very low ratios, investors may see some value there .

    I almost think the Fed has no choice but to send us into a recession.  I tend to think a recession is better than inflation.

    You realize, Elon Musk is the one that created the entity and gave the Ukrainians access to internet outside of what Russia cut them off to. Right?

    You realize, Elon Musk has probably done more to advance the cause of humankind than 99% of people, right?

    The last thing we want is Elon Musk to have only 15 minutes.

    Maybe, we should listen more to the innovators, creators and dare I say, geniuses that produce things that make life better.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    He strikes me as a dick and an attention whore. And my tax dollars subsidized his ass. Do I get credit for advancing humankind too?

    Bow down if you prefer. He should STFU and go back to inventing stuff.

    Really? I'm pretty sure I know what a recession is.  Two straight quarters of negative GDP growth isn't the end of the world if it's managed softly.  

    Now you explain to me what you believe I think a recession is.

    No thank you. He’s got his hand out for seven billion in govt. contracts and at least another six billion in govt subsidies, then cries about govt spending. EVs don’t do as much as you think for the advancement of humankind.

    Musk isn't even in the same conversation as to advancing the human cause,  technology,  etc as Bill Gates. I bet our MAGA friend doesn't revere him like Musk.

    It only comes down to politics. I hate Musk because he’s a republican! I hate Gates because he’s a liberal!! Everything boils down to politics. Everything. Going to college, celebrities, successful business owners, Goya , what color the person is who’s doing the shooting, what gun was used… the list goes on and on and on. It’s exhausting. 

    Embarrassing

    As is The Take to think it boils down so simply. Less Republican/Democrat, so if you want to equate political parties with the same weighted balance you do you, but personal views are politics. We could drone on and on about "politics" and we can come up with many definitions of what that word means to people. All politics are personal, as in they are their personal views. Like if I were to give you an "extreme" take of mine it would be the only good war is a class war imo.

    So to deify "successful" (extremely loose and subjective term, especially when it comes to Musk) business owners is fucking weird. Drag them all is my view, especially a guy who has taken full advantage of a system to even allow him the privilege to inflate his wealth, all while laying people off. Weird how it so happens that the Texas AG is investigating bots on Twitter now that a Texas-based business owner, whose personal views are shifting oh so conveniently, may lose billions of dollars due to this invested interest in said company. Weird how that happens!

    It's always rich to see who's telling on themselves with their apathetic takes that "everyone's on a side and I'm stuck here in the middle", and what they consider "the middle". Such stoic stances.

    I thought Musk was a dem and just recently said he was going to support repubs? So much for the hate because of his party affiliation. The guy's an asshole. Oh, and like POOTWH, he built his successful companies all by himself, right? Taxpayer money and the government didn't do shit for him, right? Sounds like biting the hand that feeds you, to me.

    I wonder what the average education level is of POOTWH's $250 million, small dollar donors is?

    Musk is annoying because he's full of shit now.   He agreed to a price that is well over market value and he's trying to escape even though he agreed to no due diligence.  And now the Texas AG declares that Texans have a need to know how many Twiiter users are bots, that it's in the interest of the citizens. This is after Twitter refused to allow Musk to bring in his own team. The number of bots has been a number that was declared in quarterly filings for years,  and was public at the time he made his bid.  He should have included this in his terms sheet. Now the Texas govt is coming to his aid. It's total bullshit.

    More than anything I am always awestruck by the absolute sensitive need to defend a multi-billionaire with some "WELL AKSCHUALLY"s. It's both mind-boggling and breathtaking at the same time.
    Equally mind-boggling is the need to hate people who build successful companies.  
    It only comes down to politics. I hate Musk because he’s a republican! I hate Gates because he’s a liberal!! Everything boils down to politics. Everything. Going to college, celebrities, successful business owners, Goya , what color the person is who’s doing the shooting, what gun was used… the list goes on and on and on. It’s exhausting. 

    Embarrassing 
    Musk is annoying because he's full of shit now.   He agreed to a price that is well over market value and he's trying to escape even though he agreed to no due diligence.  And now the Texas AG declares that Texans have a need to know how many Twiiter users are bots, that it's in the interest of the citizens. This is after Twitter refused to allow Musk to bring in his own team. The number of bots has been a number that was declared in quarterly filings for years,  and was public at the time he made his bid.  He should have included this in his terms sheet. Now the Texas govt is coming to his aid. It's total bullshit.  
    Nowhere in my post did I defend anything or anyone. I’m not on Twitter and I couldn’t care less if he bought it or not. Your post furthers my original point. If Musk was democrat, would the Texas AG come to his aid? No. It’s not about anything besides are you left or right. It’s just amusing to me.

    Yes,  the AG is political about it,  not me.  I don't "hate" (overstated) Musk because he's Republican now.  I think he's annoying and completely full of crap.  The other "moguls" I generally respect

    I understand your position. But unfortunately , you are not the majority. The majority, including quite a few here, will stop thinking at Left or Right.

    So.  Dow and everything else was down across the boards yesterday.

    Today?

    NASDAQ is barely above red... NYSE and DOW are in the red.

    I thought Musk was a dem and just recently said he was going to support repubs? So much for the hate because of his party affiliation. The guy's an asshole. Oh, and like POOTWH, he built his successful companies all by himself, right? Taxpayer money and the government didn't do shit for him, right? Sounds like biting the hand that feeds you, to me.

    I wonder what the average education level is of POOTWH's $250 million, small dollar donors is?
    Probably on par with Jeff, Stone, Mike, Matt, and Ed. 
    Speaking of Musk, would you consider him an intelligent person who drives innovation and the future, Jobs or Gates like?

    He's a lunatic.  Investing excess Tesla cash into bitcoin was irresponsible.  Now the value of Tesla is tied directly to the value of bitcoin.  This is another reason he's trying to exit the Twitter deal.
