    Competitors signing a pledge to "end the price war" sounds a lot like price fixing and market collusion.

    I’ve been using Threads pleasantly. Looks like Twitter traffic is tanking.

    Interesting. I dont have a Twitter account, but I might join Threads to help it grow so I can see Musk angrily punch the air some more.

    Speaking of Elon cleaning house

    https://archive.is/NiJsT

    Elon being investigated for potentially using Tesla corporate funds to procure materials for a new house in TX with glass walls.

    Seems like something Elon would do.

    Dude definitely was using company resources for Twitter, which, given that Twitter is not owned by Tesla, is not okay. The shareholders of Tesla were paying for employees to go work for Twitter.

    Agreed. A man worth $250 billion is going to raid corporate coffers to buy some glass. Makes perfect sense. Good find.

    They love to tell on themselves. Deep down they know they’re rotten

    It is because he does stupid stuff, because he doesn’t even think.

    In this way he is like Trump. He just assumes he can do what he wants and it never seems to occur to him that maybe you shouldn’t do something.

    He has done stuff like this before. He says out loud that maybe he will take Tesla private, not even thinking this was likely intentional market manipulation. He had to settle a resulting law suit and give up his chairman position.

    The whole Twitter fiasco, he says he wants to buy it, then tries to back out, and ends up being forced to buy it at an absurdly high price.

    He does dumb shit like this all the time. It is completely in character.

    He could be worth $250 trillion and it wouldn't matter. He plays for the wrong team.
