Anyone notice that the price is $54.20?

A coincidence? A week out from 4/20?

Not a coincidence. Elon also offered $420 per share when he tried to take Tesla private.

Context for the unfamiliar:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)

At TED yesterday he said it's as much a reference to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, one of his favorite books. 42. The answer to everything.

Yeah that's what I was referring to, making me think this is more of the same juvenile shenanigans.

Well yeah, he's never seen any real punishment from all the other times he's broken the law. So why would he stop?

He'll pump & dump again. Make a ton of money. Then after he's forced to pay a modest fine, he'll make it his mission in life to hunt down and destroy the careers of anyone involved in the investigation.

Yeah, where's he going to get $42B cash? A typical offer would describe the source of funds. This one doesn't.

He can get a loan for that much against his other holdings of $260B last I heard, pretty easily I imagine. Or he could sell some.

He will sell 42000 NFTs to his followers.

The Bloomberg article states this fact, as well.

His text to counter-parties telling them that he was going to make an offer was 281 characters too.

He sure does like the weed number for a guy who smoked pot exactly one time.

Should have offered $69 per share. Ultimate meme-lord status.

69.4201337 to be exact
