Well today, ladies and gentlemen, elon musk, as is typical for his uh, his style with the internet, has dropped another bomb, it's sort of his last uh venture into the meme space and what captures his attention? You know what what what he almost kind of reminds me of is uh. If you were to go to a store - and you run into a karen who's talking to the manager and uh the manager says, we can't really help you and the karen just sits there for half an hour and to the manager and ends up walking out uh, Either with a coupon code or or with just a super purse, lips and pissed off attitude, elon musk is like that karen uh, except instead of walking out of the store uh, he just buys the store and then fires the manager, and then he gets what he Wants anyways well in that sort of typical karen fashion. Elon musk, as we all know, has has bought. Some stake in twitter currently owns just over nine percent of the company, which is a very large holding obviously, and has actually turned down a position with the board.

Uh and many people were anticipating it, so he could have a hostile takeover now. There's mixed opinions on whether this is a good thing or it is a bad thing, but he has officially made his offer and that offer is 54.20 a share to buy out the entire company. He has actually made a formal offer and if you're twitter right now looking at their stock price, it looks like an offer uh that you may not want to turn down as twitter is currently trading uh. You know not at 54.20, it's at 45 bucks or so uh and elon musk just sees you know their sort of situation right now is problematic.

Well with that being said, i wanted to be able to discuss this uh. I also wanted to add to the meme space, so here you can see uh, elon, musk and on his shirt is titter. I thought it was pretty funny. If you know you know, uh tater is a pretty solid name for a company.

Let me tell you so: there's sort of this inherent desire, what kind of fuels elon musk here this is, where i kind of want your guys. Opinions feel free to talk about this in the comment section down below uh. He he thinks that there's a pretty inherent problem with twitter uh with free speech and bot problems. I think all of us can kind of agree that there's a pretty large bot problem on twitter and beyond that there's sort of a shadow banning problem.

You know this goes across sort of all social media platforms that presently exist outside of a few uh startups they're trying to disrupt the space one that i can think of is rumble another one, uh being d-wack. You can sort of take your political opinions on those. I and consider whatever you want, i'm looking at this as uh as sort of neutral as i possibly can uh, but he just wants to sort of allow twitter to be what it could be to to quote him uh elon musk. He believes that twitter can be a much better platform.

My personal gripes man, let me tell you a story. Excuse me, uh. I have gone through periods of time on twitter and i've checked with the shadow banning stuff and uh and whatever i sort of looked at what twitter uh actually does when it doesn't like something you say: uh, you kind of kind of watch engagements and i'll watch. My engagement engagements on tweets uh when i'm very neutral on things, and i don't talk about anything controversial or this or that uh you can actually see that those tweets have higher overall impressions.

An impression in case you don't know, is just the amount of people who are able to see your tweet doesn't mean they liked. It doesn't mean they tweeted it. It doesn't mean they replied to it, but they just see it right and the moment that you start discussing things that twitter does not necessarily like uh an example for myself perhaps would be uh just the position of perhaps politicians, i'll talk about politicians, insider trading, uh Or i'll talk about the fact that social media mainstream media is not touching on uh, a politician, insider trading or perhaps a court case that may be worth people's time. They'll bury those sweets, you get less impressions.

I have a problem with that. I have a problem with shadow banning, i don't think that's free. I don't think that's free speech. I think that's an inhibition of speech uh and it is sort of a problematic thing.

Now there are the arguments that twitter, as sort of its own company, has a right uh to set out guidelines and rules in terms of what you have to abide by to participate on their platform, and i think, to some extent that is okay. I think it's. Okay to uh, allow people to you know - or i shouldn't say, allow, but to sort of lay out guidelines in terms of what people should and should not be able to do so that it doesn't hurt other people's ability to have free speech and it doesn't danger. Anybody's way of life, i think that's okay, where you cross.

The line is when you start taking twitter's own personal bias into consideration and the things that they do and do not like for themselves as a company, and then they do not allow that for their users. Well, elon musk obviously sees these same problems. He says free speech should be something that we have more of there's an obvious bot problem. I would add on to that obviously there's a shadow banning problem that i think everybody can kind of agree that there's there's inherent problems with twitter and elon.

Musk has talked about some of these. The twitter. You know headquarters sort of being a landmine of desolation. He he said they should actually turn it into a homeless, shelter uh because he went in and he said, huh.

Well, let me let me let me look at this right now and i basically could take a on this table right now and it would look uh like it blends. In with the surrounding area, uh looks like it got hit by some radioactive waste or something uh. It nobody's, though, it's showing up to work, that's obviously problematic. He basically goes this offer on the table 5420 a share uh to buy out the company, and i think this was because uh that he believed being a part of the board, wasn't enough.

He thought hey. If i want to really accomplish what i want to do, uh i have to take this pretty serious and just scrap the scrap. The whole company and re-enlist dinner baby dinner is where the money maker is going to be you're going to milk them milk them goddamn cow, teats and you're, going to get what they get. You know wherever you got to go right, but i think there are obstacles in place here.

You know an accepted offer, i think, is going to be very difficult to sort of accomplish uh, and i personally believe that it's because there are going to be a lot of powerful people and probably politicians that do not want uh to see this happen. I think both the left and the right this will be a bipartisan sort of decision. Uh they're, not gon na, like elon musk sort of taking control of twitter. I i personally believe that to be the case, can this happen? Would it happen? Is it possible for elon musk to do this? This is where i kind of want to ask you guys questions.

How would you feel about elon musk buying out twitter i've seen a couple different opinions, one that kind of sticks out to me is carol roth. She tweeted this out. I'm going to leave twitter if elon musk takes over is the new i'm going to move to canada if trump wins. I found this to be a pretty interesting, uh sort of comparison, and there was another piece down here.

There's a reply to this tweet. That said, something like this: if twitter falls america may too, i think people are are really blowing this out of proportion in terms of uh uh, the ramifications of elon musk quote unquote, taking over twitter uh and to me what would happen? You know the risks on the table are kind of minimal. I mean if this was to happen. I think twitter is already problematic.

I think there's a reason that jack probably left the company jack being the previous ceo. I think that it's not good that people don't show up to headquarters for work uh. I don't think it's good that they're as as rampant to bot problems as there are. I don't think it's good that there's as rampant of shadow banning problems as there are.

I mean, let me tell you this: i have had a verified twitter account impersonate me to scam people. How can something like that happen? I know i'm not the only guy that that's happened to there's about the full amount of twitter accounts out there that are verified that are just bots or scam. Artists meant to grift people on coins on rug pulls on whatsapp on this. On that, this sort of stuff happens all the time.

Where can you get worse than that? Where can you get worse than that? That's my opinion. I think i think twitter already has a lot of problems and elon musk uh. If anything has brought two companies from the absolute floor, tesla most specifically uh being on the verge of bankruptcy, he's quoted this himself within weeks of bankruptcy to where it is now. I think elon musk has a lot of uh sort of experience with building a business.

He knows how to build a business uh and if he doesn't know something he learns it. I think that's worth a nickel. I think you look at his experience and you look at his past and if he was to take over twitter, i i i don't see how how you can kind of bet against this guy. You know everyone who's ever been against elon musk.

So far has kind of gotten just crushed long term. Anyway, i mean you, look at you, look at tesla long term and in the end shorts just got steamrolled. They got blasted. It was not a not a good day or not a good year or not a good day, not a good decade for people, betting against tesla or elon musk, and i think that is uh.

The case here with twitter. If he was to sort of join the team here, but the stakes you know like i mentioned before, i think twitter already kind of sucks. I think there's a lot of problems uh. I don't think that you should be able to impersonate verified accounts or unverified accounts.

Like i've seen or back when i was not verified, i had a verified account. Impersonating me and obviously people are going to go. Follow that verified account they're, going to see the check mark they're going to think it's you, because why the were they not it's! It's twitter: you have to really earn that badge, whatever blah blah blah blah blah, there's so many problems, there's so many problems and the problem for me uh and at the end of the day, you guys, please let me know in the comments down below what you Think i'm actually genuinely interested in this. I want to have some open dialogue about it.

Uh i find it to be unlikely, as i've mentioned before i. I just don't think that that twitter is going to allow uh elon musk to buy out the company. I think uh they have a bigger vision that maybe is better than elon musk's. I don't know uh and more so i think, there's just gon na be pressure from a bipartisan perspective uh, but what would it take right? What's the sort of unless here i think the big, unless is if twitter can suck up pride and sort of allow greed to take over here and just take that quick bag? They could let themselves take this quick bag.

You know, i think, that's honestly, a good thing. I feel more comfortable uh with elon having proved himself uh with other companies running twitter. Now this is where i do have a problem. Sometimes i feel elon musk uh tweets, tweets things that have more ramification than is probably realized at the moment of the tweet like he can move stocks up and down by just simply saying by by farting.

You know he could he can let out a burp and say i burped. While i was looking at bitcoin and bitcoin's going to go up five percent on the day. You know his sort of uh off-the-cuff tweets, i think, are a tad irresponsible. I think uh he'd likely have to reign that in as a ceo of twitter or the owner of twitter, if that was to happen uh, but the the that that's sort of my problem with with uh with elon musk.

If anything sort of taken over the company uh different platforms, i think you know dwack is probably of interest to be quite frank, dwack sort of stands for from what i've gathered at the very least free speech, uh, allowing people to have opinions of any nature without Uh shadow banning without getting you know, strikes without this. Without that uh, i think you do need some form of regulation, but twitter turns kind of over the top and i'm interested to see what elon musk kind of does here uh and if they accept his offer. I don't know what do you think i i genuinely want to know i'd like to know your guys's opinions on this uh. Please comment down below what you think of elon musk, i'm gon na take the time to read this more than anything, it's kind of a.

I don't know it's an opportunity to pick some brains and learn some and uh. If there's any more of the story, man, the market has been so crazy over the last year and i don't think it's gon na get any less crazy. It's it. Maybe it's just because i'm young i'm 24 years old, i turn 25 in june.

Maybe it's just because i'm young, i haven't been around long enough, but i feel like there's so much crazy. That's just happening on a a week to week to week basis, especially if this guy is a part of the picture, uh pretty interesting stuff. That's what i got for this video appreciate you tuning in much lovely taps, peace.
