I love the irony in him charging a fee for "freedom of speech" to have a verified Twitter account. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was proposed to Baron to charge ET members a small fee to help minimize the multiple aliases we have at this forum and to better manage "freedom of speech". wrbtrader
If TSLA takes out $180 then look out below. then Elon will be fighting battles on two fronts with Twitter and Tesla and does not look good. I wish Elon would take Twitter public just so I can short it.

Only a village idiot would pay 44 billion dollars and then use the product like a kamikaze loitering munition on yourself.
I love the irony of him firing any employee who speaks contradicts him. All speech is free, but some speech is freer than others.

Musk too thinks he stands for freedom when he is just another autocrat-in-waiting.
