Wah wah I've blown loads of money buying a dying social media brand and driving it into the ground.

Give me more money now or I won't use my special money making powers to make this company more money.

Legal or not. Does anyone have any idea what these AI and robotics things, that only Elon holds and were developed by him completely separate to Tesla, are?

It's Elon, he thinks he has the execution capacity to bring it to Tesla. He's been saying for years: in 2021 there will be robo taxis. It never happened and never will for Tesla. They need a sub $25k vehicle and always have and he fucked it up. If the cyber truck was half the size and not made of stainless it would have been around $25k probably. Get fucked Elon.

I think the guy is a dumb bass like everyone else, but wasn't he forced into buying twitter? Correct me if my memory's faulty

He was simply made to follow the law. Then he tried to spin it as that being akin to "being forced". Basically, he signed contracts he didn't understand and probably thought the other side would not follow through.

If that's "being forced" then any transaction where you put in a written, signed order and then if you try to cancel the order, the seller says "no dice, you committed yourself", would mean "you are forced into it".

Thanks for enlightening me, I think the only good thing about this guy is when he acted as Wario on Saturday Night Live

The Lawyers: "Noooo Mr. Musk, don't sign those!"

Elon: "Fuck it man, I'm buying Twitter, yolo"

No one forced him to make the offer.
