No I don't think that has anything to do with super rich. It is the top 1.8% of income earners though.    Also if you think the proposals to raise the taxes on people making that much are ex

He doesn't like Unions and I don't blame him. This idea he's some right wing billionaire who hates democrats and liberals is pure fiction. The meltdown on twitter over Musk is embarrassing.  


The meltdown on Twitter is that his take over attempt is funded with loans that will require about $1 billion annually in interest payments.  Twitter last year had ~$5 billion in revenue, with an operating loss of $493 million.

To make an extra $1 billion, there's going to have to be more ads on Twitter.  That's going to take more product development.  Meanwhile, much of the compensation for Twitter employees is RSUs.  Up to half of product developer's compensation will vanish when the company goes private.  Employees are going to ditch the product.

The takeover bid serves no purpose other than to burn Twitter to the ground.  That's why there's a meltdown on Twitter.

Basically, this the start of the social media looking alot more like regular media.  Look at what happened with Gawker Media, those products have been garbage since Spanfeller acquired them.

He doesn't give a fuck about selling Teslas. Tesla is a battery tech, not an auto company.

I don't have twitter, so I can't say.  But I do have facebook, and he's getting a lot of praise from the right.  It's all based on their belief that social media is silencing conservative voices.  

There's some on the left acting fools as well, but most are pointing out that many news networks are owned by billionaires and that it's hypocritical to complain about Musk and not complain about others.

I'm not saying they're not stupid, just saying Musk is a hero to the right at this moment.  I actually didn't realize there would be controversy to that comment.

Musk in general has a very sizable and weird personality cult

Both sides have lost their minds on this. The right idiots who think Musk is somehow a champion of their ideology despite the fact his history shows someone who is actually way more moderate and is more of a centrist. The same is true of the left idiots who ignore his history and think he's going to champion conservatism under the guise of free speech which will lead to twitter no longer being "liberal".
