i don't understand money stuff really

you pay less in interest on a line of credit than you would by paying taxes so all of your assets aren’t really liquid. the most common thing a normal person would get is a home equity line of credit, secured against your home’s accrued value. imagine that, but the security is *waves hands* all your assets
he did sell off Tesla stock to contribute $27B to the twitter sale but the bank loans were secured by the company, not him (https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/10/28/how-elon-musk-financed-his-twitter-takeover). so if twitter goes bust, it’s the other investors and the banks that take a bath. he already did his twitter money deal and if he runs it into the ground he can probably write it off as a loss on his taxes for the next decade

Tesla's senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, Drew Baglino, is leaving after 18 years at the auto-maker, he said in a post on social media site X on Monday. Tesla's vice president of public policy and business development, Rohan Patel, has also left the carmaker, according to a post on X by a Bloomberg News reporter.― Josh in Chicago, Monday, April 15, 2024 6:20 PM (four hours ago)

I don't think he is, a bunch of people got blue checks over the last couple weeks against their will
also one more thing that bothers me
https://i.imgur.com/kE5lGFn.png
"namespace" is a term which actually means something, anyone who's ever done any programming should be familiar with it, and he's using it to refer to the pool of available usernames on Twitter. like this comp sci shit is supposed to be one area he's actually competent in but all the evidence just points to him being a huge idiot there too. people are so eager to give him the benefit of the doubt because he's awkward and dorky, instead it's more like what if Sheldon from Bing Bong Theory was actually just a huge dumbass. I mean take it from me, I played Magic: the Gathering for 15 years, these people absolutely do exist. sometimes they have emerald mines and government contracts I guess.

xp He probably believed, and still believes, that the problem could be fixed easily by just writing the right magic code that will solve all the problems and Twitter employed all those humans because of woke or something. I’m surprised he isn’t babbling on now about how “AI” will fix everything.

Tesla’s stock tumbled below $150 per share, giving up all of the gains made over the past year as the electric vehicle maker reels from falling sales and steep discounts intended to lure more buyers.Shares in the Elon Musk-owned company slid nearly 4% in intraday trading Thursday, in what what now stands as the third worst week for the stock in 2024, a year that has been dismal for Tesla investors. The Austin, Texas company’s shares are down 12.4% this week and more than 39% this year.Shares of Tesla Inc. last traded for $150 in January 2023.
