The amount of envy people here have for Elon is crazy. The man is succeeding at making us a multi-planetary species, arguably the single most important achievement in the history of life itself, and your little damaged egos can't handle it. So sad.
My point being, it's somewhat ridiculous to expect a $44 billion transaction to go like this:
- I'll buy this for 44 bn.
- Nah, or wait, alright.
- Alright, I'm buying.
That's big money and probably a lot of advisors are involved. It's still possible that Elon will eventually buy Twitter. If not, I will be inclined to think that it was either not well-thought out proposal or a trick to sell Tesla stock...
