Seems to be more of a calculation than a guess. I mean, if they are just guessing, why not speculate massive price differences over the time period to make his crime look even worse?

What makes you think he overpaid?
The answer to that question affects the answers to your other questions.

Or they could be speculating a smaller price difference to diminish his crime. I know Elon overpaid. He offered 38% over the stock price knowing about the fake accounts and I'm pretty sure he knew he'd lose ad revenue when he stopped restricting conservative viewpoints on Twitter. He had to know he'd lose liberal users when exposed how BidenCo pressured Twitter to restrict conservative speech on the platform.

That side still won't let go of Russian narratives

One of the Russian narratives had merit.

You know what you say and what you have said. You know where your talking points come from. Stop your charade kid. You don't really have anything to say other than what you are told.

So you make the claim, but are wholly unable to back it up with proof of ANY kind other than "trust me, bro"?
Sorry, but I trust you as far as I could throw my car.
If you can't prove your own claims, then your claims are useless.

I don't care if you watch it at night, mid-morning or afternoon. The point is, you know damn well you watch it. All you libby's watch it waiting for the next thing to be upset about.

Incorrect. It's habitual with you.

I don't speak to Trump. He is far too busy in his job trying to fix all the Democratic ****-ups.

I didn't say anything about you speaking to him, did I? Another of your failures to comprehend.
Tell me more about the (sic)"Democratic ****-ups" and how he is "fixing" them.

You "know" he overpaid, but what makes you reach that conclusion?

Are you conflating "overpaid" with "lost money after the purchase"?

I don't need you to trust ME. I would just like you to stop lying. Who cares if you get your news from CNN and MSNBC. All you libby's do it. You aren't special.

Sexy is habitual with me.

Yes you did. You said "Yet you still believe Trump when he tells you..." - RobGMN.

In order for him to tell me anything I would have to be speaking to or with him. I have not. So you lied to create another baseless insult. You libby's love to do that.

There's that wholly unsubstantiated claim again. If I do it so much, then post up AT LEAST ONE EXAMPLE.

Were the letters big enough, or are you still confused?

Sexy is habitual with me.

Which means you're 5'6", 350 lbs, have a neckbeard, and haven't ever touched a female in a manner that wasn't assault.
Do you have the requisite 4XL tee shirt that says "FBI - Female Body Inspector"?

You think that means a two-way conversation? Damn, you are dim.

And, it blows your claims that Biden (paraphrased) "told people to surge the border", right out of the water.
Unless of course, you think that Biden met with them all individually and had a chat?

Once again, your own words and poor memory bite you in the ***.

You do. For sure.

5'6" and one half inch. 353lbs, neck beard w/pimples. I have two of those shirts.

You think that means a two-way conversation? Damn, you are dim.

If we are talking to each other... uh, yes. That IS a 2-way conversation.

And, it blows your claims that Biden (paraphrased) "told people to surge the border", right out of the water.

Not true. I can change the meanings to fit the conversation just like you do. What's the problem?

Once again, your own words and poor memory bite you in the ***.

Repetition does not make it true. I am not sure why you keep saying this.

No I'm conflating the stock price was $38/share at the time he offered $53/share. Not only that, he knew Twitter was full of bots, which meant advertisers weren't going to willing pay as much for advertising once he cleaned out the bots. And he knew unrestricted speech would lead to advertisers leaving the platform. He literally told them to F-off. Regardless of how you want to frame it, my point stands - Musk was willing to lose 10's of billions for his principles. But I get it the old "Elon is stealing from the gov't" narrative is a good one and whatever the left will push that narrative regardless of the lack of logic or evidence to support it. Go Team Blue!!!!

Has Russian been caught in recent history? Seem like china been more active?

I'm trying to figure out why you say he overpaid.

If he felt it had a value to him of $53/share, then it is irrelevant that it was at only $38/share.
There are people who pay millions of dollars for a baseball card, or a car, or an NFT, well in excess of what they could ever sell them for. But they value those things, and so they do not consider themselves as having overpaid.
Satisfaction cost is real.

What were the "principles" that he lost tens of billions for? The ability to censor the speech HE wanted to censor, instead of the speech the previous owners wanted to censor?

Trump pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road. Ross was serving a life sentence for his online platform that facilitated illegal drug sales in excess of $200 Million.

Trump doesn't give two flying ***** about fentanyl.

Rest assured if the left post something and then makes a counter point with Trumps name attached to it that it should be ignored because there is a 99% that all of the context has been left out in favor of a narrative.

That is the entire post that Trump made. What "context" can be left out of a screenshot of the COMPLETE post that Trump put on his shit site?
You are one of the worst apologists imaginable. Simply not bright enough to provide any defense or support whatsoever.

On another note, does EVERY right-winger equate EVERYTHING that they don't like, with politics and political leanings? This guy must be one of your relatives.
The ironic part is that this is about knife sharpening, angle geometry, efficacy in cutting, and the the idiot was 100% wrong with his post.

So you are attacking me because you can't read? Or can't comprehend? I don't understand your motivation here. You posted a Trump tweet about Canada to make a point. You made a COUNTER POINT about Trump pardoning Ross Ulbricht... I am assuming to show some kind of hypocrisy on Trumps part. MY point was that the audience reading these post can bet their bottom dollar that the context has been left out to support a narrative.

That narrative being the ongoing and never ending bashing of anything Trump does, good or bad because far left liberal democrats are thin skinned little ***** that can't control themselves. Furthermore over reacting to everything with hysterics and conspiracy theories about how Trump and Musk are in it together to destroy America and make themselves more rich while standing on the backs of the lower and middle classes.
