wow, is this the middle ground Biden keeps talking about? For once I'm in agreement w/Donald. "Elon is not going to buy Twitter. Where did you hear that before? From me," Trump quipped. "He's got himself a mess," Trump continued. "You know, he said the other day, 'I've never voted for a Republican.' I said I didn't know that. He told me he voted for me. So he's another bullshit artist but he's not going to be buying it. Although he might later. Who the hell knows what's going to happen? He's got a pretty rotten contract. I looked at his contract, not a good contract. Sign up for Truth. We love Truth." http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/07/09/trump_elon_musk_is_a_bullshit_artist.html
Yeah he can lie and BS with the best of them. A skill that would make him a great politician, shame he cant run for POTUS.
Let's stick to the business side of things, it's why it's in this section. Trump, with his history of artful dealing is calling out Elon's biz acumen on TWTR and by extension TSLA
Musk will pay the $1 Billion compensation he owes TWTR after 10 years of legal court cases. The Law firms on each side will get rich as well. Regarding his business acumen, he has built four separate Billion dollar companies including one that reached a 1 trillion dollar valuation, making him the GOAT when it to comes to business acumen.. Who else can match or beat that record? And he is not finished yet, he has no plans to retire early like Gates or Bezos. Plus Musk was way smarter than those two. He didn't have to pay out any significant part of his wealth during his divorces like they had to.
POTUS " artful-of-it dealing more like it. Casinos, Steaks, Tchotchkes, Real Estate Scam Schools. But yeah he is right, Musk ain't buying. Musk is paying. A billion the serial grifter wishes he was getting instead.
Musk was not an original founder of Tesla, although he is largerly responsible for its metoric growth. The combined market cap of the companies Steve Jobs founded (Apple, Next, Pixar) is worth more than twice the ones Musk founded or ran, including Tesla. Jim Clark founded SGI, Netscape, Healtheon all of which became multi-billion companies.
That is why i used the word 'built' and not 'founded'. Steve jobs died early and Tim Cook took over. Had he lived then yes he may have been the GOAT instead. At the moment it is Musk and he still going.. and has a few more decades still left in him.
