    No, didn't imply just simply stated that any money he spent on Twitter was almost made up for. Plus, when SpaceX goes public(if it does), Musk most likely inch that much closer to be the first trillionaire.

    If you've been in the industry since 97 and don't understand how Musk's purchase of Twitter affected TSLA stock, then you are incompetent. Stock values are based on expectations.

    Musk’s radicalization has definitely hurt Tesla. Teslas core customers tended to lean left, and a lot of them now wouldn’t touch a Tesla due to Elon. Much of Musks radicalization played out on Twitter.

    Not just that. Musk had to sell a huge amount of TSLA stock to buy Twitter. Both the expectation of that and the actuality of it caused TSLA stock to drop. Between April and December 2022 he sold around $22 billion of TSLA. And he managed to turn that 22 billion worth of TSLA stock into about $5 billion worth of twitter ownership. He bought Twitter for 44B and it's supposedly worth about 9B now.

    Maybe you don’t understand. TSLA has zero to do with X. It’s like Bezos with Amazon and the Washington Post. One thing has nothing to do with the other. It’s ok, just take the L on this and let it go.

    Trump looked sharp, knowledgeable, quick witted and funny on Joe Rogan. Just 10 more days
