There is a link, but it doesn't say anything about a judge forcing him to buy and the trial in question isn't even schedule to start for another two weeks.

So now he has to sell his Tesla stocks making him culpable of fraud, or will he work out something else?

From what I understand it's not illegal as a ceo to pump your stock up, but it is illegal to sell at the peak, and tesla is way overvalued.

Yeah dude really screwed himself on this one.

He sold a large number of shares before he even proposed the deal and he is financing a big chunk of it:

"Musk assembled $46.5 billion to fund his Twitter takeover, with his own assets backing two-thirds of that amount. Musks portion includes a giant $12.5 billion margin loan secured by his equity stake in Tesla Inc. (TSLA). The remainder comes from bank financing secured by Twitters own assets, a classic leveraged buyout arrangement."

If there weren't literal millions of devoted Elon Musk fans including high profile tech enthusiasts touting projects that have zero chance of happening. "Can you believe Elon Musk invented reusable rockets??"

Also he's a train wreck and it's fun.

Basically the guy paints the world's biggest target on his head by pretending to be the smartest guy in the country.

Well the guy now owns twitter, and is going to impact how it works, which will range from possibly unbanning most hate groups and turning it into a dumpster fire to vastly improving it by doing what jack dorsey tells him to do.

He sort of influences people? Which is important?

Twitter's board of directors needs to be brought up on fraud charges after they lied about the number of bots on the platform. Fucked up country where trying to pay for something with a counterfeit $20 you didn't know was counterfeit leads leads to a fatal arrest attempt yet a gang can try to defaud somebody out of hundreds of millions without consequence.

He means a link to the actual story, not an unrelated one where the word "judge" doesn't even appear when I hit control+F. In fact, as the article notes, the trial hasn't even happened yet so it's just more #FakeNews from Helly.

Elon just shut down starlink terminals in Ukraine after meeting with Putin.

Does the idea that this guy gets to dictate "free speech" on Twitter terrify you yet?

Do you have any sources on that? The most recent article I could find said he just refused to extend the service to Crimea, not shutting down terminals in Ukraine.

they've been intentionally disabling starlink in russia controlled areas despite them not being russian controlled areas anymore, moreover elon is aligned with russia given the ridiculous "peace plan" he said ukraine needed to do, which was essentially just "surrender" after putin talked with elon about ukraine

Except he shouldn't need funding because he had secured it before he even made an offer to Twitter.

I can't tell if the rapidly rising price of living or twitter echo chambers is to blame for society's socialist/fascist split, anti-vaxx, anti-democracy movement.

I'm just going to blame twitter, yeah that sounds easy enough.

did he?

as far as anyone can tell he never actually intended to buy twitter, especially proven since he repeatedly tried to back out.

what he did is what he always does: make a spectacle to raise the stock price of Tesla so he can sell

yeah it's exceedingly clear this was just market manipulation by musk to me

he knows whatever actions he takes will modify tesla's stock prices temporarily and he can just pass it off as being eccentric

he definitely can buy twitter but i highly doubt he actually wants to. it's all posturing to affect market rates.

aw oops

now he is talking about straight up shutting starlink down for the entirety of ukraine

starlink service the us government grossly overpaid for, because he didn't donate anything, it was paid for by the us, polish, and Ukraine government.
