Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

Should be north of 9% for the next 6 months. Although the 10k annual limit certainly limits the advantage you can take/does not scale to the millions/billions being thrown around in the twitter deal.

Yeah, I thought I had read 9% somewhere after April's sales close but couldn't remember where I read that. Glad I wasn't insane.
I think we'll be doing that for sure.

holy crap, I totally forgot about the employees (insert jokes here)

while this person isn't right about the timing, it's going to be traded until the deal goes through and he takes ownership. So those RSUs can be exercised and sold until then. But after, I suspect there are going to be a lot of changes.

Anyways, for anyone who hasn't sold their share and held onto them, they're all going to be forced to sell this year if they're unlucky. Anyone who has held onto large sums is going to get *** ****ed on taxes next year.

In any event, explain to me what nasty things the "confirmed, not faked" emails say.

Do you really need to quote the troll? We blocked his lies for a reason.

It is always interesting though that we never hear about what is actually on the laptop just that it exists. I'm glad WaPo confirmed that at one time Hunter had a laptop...what's next CNN tells us he has a cellphone? He at one time drove a car?

in any event though please stop quoting the ****wit. Maybe we will get lucky and he will go back to NaziSports.com where they find him smart and witty. (a low bar considering who is in that fanbase)

Easy way to get rid of employees without laying them off.

Half compensation is stocks? I guess The Simpsons wasn’t too far off.

And all the time I was sparring with him, while all of you told me to lay off, cause Sic was one of the good ones. Misguided perhaps, but still acting with honorable intentions.

Don't get me wrong, i'm glad you were all finally able to figure it out. Welcome to where I was eight years ago.

The bigots are having a field day on Twitter...they know they are going to be free and clear soon enough thanks to ****wit Elon. Lots of Anti-Trans crap going around.

I wonder if Elon is going to get mad at all the people posting his awful COVID takes? Some of them were Trump Level stupid and wrong...like when he said COVID cases would be zero by April 2020.

They can just go back to earning money from their apartheid diamond mine.

You better watch it...there are a lot of Elon bots out there suddenly and they are programmed to defend strongly!

I do like that Bezos is basically saying this deal will give China influence in the public sphere. Watching supervillains fight is kind of fun ;^)

They're not here anymore, and our spreadsheets are bare without them!

if Tesla were to drop 40%, he'd be responsible to repay the loan secured against Tesla

So, I looked this up since Tesla is down 10%+ today. It's dropped 40% from a peak three times in the last two years. Yikes.

Six, almost seven, times in the last six years. Note, that today's drop probably wouldn't matter because I assume it's 40% upon the deal closing.

So who’s buying up Twitter when this whole thing goes to s- in a few years? Apple? Microsoft? Comcast? Tencent?

I’m sure the bidding war for Tesla will be fun though.

As much as I hate Musk and think Teslas are incredibly overrated, Tesla isn't going anywhere as a standalone company. Though, I suppose you could see chunks of it spun off if it were run by someone who doesn't bet his company on the Washington Generals. On the other hand, Tesla wouldn't be a) where it is today without Musk and b) wouldn't be here in this discussion today without Musk. Hmmmm...

But yeah, both would be very very interesting. I don't think Apple would do it, they haven't really shown any interest in that market to my knowledge. Then again, I would have possibly said the same thing about Shazam, though, there's some good tech behind that I would assume. Anyways, the other three companies are very good guesses. Disney would be another possibility in my mind.

You mean a company that makes 1/10 the cars of GM shouldn't have the same market cap?!
