And of course, businessinsider doesn’t blame the rich guy… they blame the ‘snitch’
Elon be like: Fuck them.
Fuck Them! They can’t blackmail me to stop taking drugs!
—Musk, probably
More like “me” if he really loses money because of some of his actions
Really though, what’s the point of having “fuck you” money if you don’t tell people “I don’t care. Fuck you” every once in a while? (Or… daily)
I always thought of “fuck you” money as a statement being made up the chain. Saying “fuck you” to all the employees below him is not cool.
the point of having “fuck you” money is that you can say “fuck you” to anyone and it won’t impact you. If you would like to say it to the people up the chain, that’s fine. If you’d like say it to someone else, that’s fine too. Who gives a shit? You certainly don’t. You’ve got “fuck you” money.
I don’t think Twitter was a fuck up. It’s likely he had $20B or something insane in cap gains (maybe from selling Tesla shares or other investments).
He took Twitter private sold it on paper to same private shareholders, now can claim $17B or whatever it is in losses. Now he pays nothing in taxes, has one of the largest Internet mouthpieces he can use to sway elections, etc. The only people who took losses are banks he used to swing purchase and the twitter landlord he is refusing to pay.
Musk tried everything possible not to buy twitter, and now it’s worth 20bn less.
I wouldn’t call a planned success.
I mean, it single-handedly ruined everyone’s understanding of who he is and what he can do in the most humiliating ways imaginable. But if you want to spin it as a tax write off supermove, okay. It can be two things I guess.
