Trump indicated for election interference

The whole thing is worth a watch because the guy knows how the censorship sausage is made but there's some shit about facebook staring around the 1h to 1hr 12min mark.

Hmmm.... is the AG going after right wing media figures to influence the election?

True but the whole with great power comes with great responsibility thing. Musk risked 44B, lost half of it and had to rebuild. Zuck took a different easier route. We will never be in either guys shoes so who knows what each of us would do. I do like the way Musk trolls though

“Lost half of it”? Did I miss something? Did Musk sell X? If not, he didn’t lose anything.

Yeah I know no loss until sold but didn’t advertisement revenue drop by a lot which took his valuation down 50%?

Follow the money. It was just legal money laundering. Company x pays advertising to twitter who then pays the DNC.

It turns out that when advertisers learn that half your userbase is bots, your advertisements are worth nearly as much.

How does anyone know this?

I am sure I can find the amount that Budweiser, Lowes, or Pepsi spends on advertising but I couldn't on Bob's Plumbing Service or even Love's Truck Stops.

Public vs private.

How does anyone know an accurate account of how much X spends on anything or takes in if Elon doesn't CHOOSE to make that known? How would anyone know he is telling the truth even if he did say?

All this is just a political game at this point with anything Elon. The left looks to make him look bad and the right cheers him on.

I was answering your question, not accusing you of being a democrat.

Ugh… are you a CA attorney by chance?

There is no such thing as a “valuation” for a private company. It’s just speculation. Nothing more.

What are these private companies taxed on ? I ask as I have no idea. Profit ? Sales ?

Profit.

Or the same thing you're taxed on = income - expenses.
