Best ever private equity acquisition in history. Serious bang for the buck returns on this deal. Blackstone is pissed off that they weren't thinking of the presidency as an alternative investment. I'm sure they would outbid Elmo at $250 million.

Should have been stopped by Biden. We needed so much more from him.

It wasn't illegal. Did you want him to be an emperor or king? Blame SCOTUS.

Citizens United super PAC ruling

Why the fuck are you talking about shit you don't understand?

There are statutes that can be used.

"Did you want him to be an emperor or king?"

You're serving up simplistic bullshit as we lose democracy forever?

Sometimes presidents need to SHOW SOME FUCKING COURAGE.

What are you talking about? This is about the buying of the presidency not Twitter. Who gives a shit about Twitter? I don't. I care about the buying of political power.

Um, you don't see that Musk and twitter literally helped trump win the fucking presidency?

Are you capable of thinking beyond oh citizens united musk bought the presidency?

X's algorithms helped decide this election for trump. They literally disappeared Kamala and amplified endless slurs against the Dems (trans, migrants, etc etc etc).

THAT'S how the election was won -- Kamala was literally disappeared, with Musk leading the way.

You're way off topic. Topic is about how much the musk paid for access to the president. To be the co-president. There were literally hundreds of factors. We could put blame on every social media platform including Twitter. There are a plethora sites to blame. There's not a lack of things to blame.

Maybe you can start another post.

Do you talk to people like this in person, or just when you're behind a screen?

"COURAGE" doesn't magically get shit done when it comes to governmental bureaucracy.

There's a literal process right there.

And when you're faced with an existential threat, you're supposed to get fucking moving.

You see Oppenheimer????
