It's an article about Twitter as a business that is pertinent to investing and yes, obviously, even though I don't use Twitter, I don't like Musk. I can't dislike Musk and not use Twitter at the same time?

Why do you feel the need to politicize an article about Twitter and then clearly feel like you need to attack the motives of the person who posted it? I'm just sharing an article and my opinion on Musk?

Did you even read what you wrote?

"Thank goodness Musk is getting rid of the little bird! Twitter's woes are fixed! It amazes me how people like this get a substantial following and yet I see it over and over again with other public figures right now."

That wasn't political at all. I know people on both sides who think he's the second coming. That was just a statement about not understanding why ANYONE elevates him or really anyone to the level they do - ex. he's a mega-genius. He's fine...there are lots of people who are much better at this than he is who get a fraction of the credit. As for the article...yeah...I think it's funny he thinks the problem is the bird when the problem is clearly his mismanagement of Twitter.

That's my point...

Well that’s Twitter. So now I am not so sure why you care so much.

Why not just say Musk overpaid for Twitter? It’s kind of disingenuous for you to claim Switzerland at this point.

EDIT PS: For the record, I don't have an account with twitter either and your "you cult member" is pretty slimy. I have my views, nothing wrong with that. Wow.

Yup...I felt the same way with, "You just don’t like that twitter is no longer controlled by one side."

You have no idea what my thoughts are and yet you presume to know them...so I presume to know yours. You threw the first stone.

Also, the problem isn't just that he overpaid...he overpaid and HE is underperforming.

I will ride this tech and artificial AI run up for as long as possible.

My account hitting new highs with all the manipulation, I have to admit I’m not complaining.

I‘m also getting kind of antsy.

Translated Morgan Stanley admits its forecast was off by a magnitude of 100% and those that invested on the past advice?
Just saying, forecasting is as good as the weather forecast on the NC coast, its nice to see but the accuracy is no better than a flip of the coin much of the time.
No doubt the economy is strong which everyone knows, Fed keeps raising rates and people are still employed no matter how much they try to get them to the unemployment line which they will do eventually and I would think, with that thinking since it is taking so long to get done with interest rate hikes, anyone might be able to reasonably forecast a softer landing since a softer landing is what is taking place right now.

I was in Daytona Beach on Saturday night and every where we went the places were packed.
Does that necessarily mean the economy is strong ?

Leading Economic Indicators show things are slowing…..

Soft landing maybe they will pull it off?
Being on the coast we are near and in a vacation hotspot. It's incredibly busy, businesses exploding, really takes some planning to go out to dinner if you dont want to wait an hour or two. But one might consider this a lagging indicator and also just a micro slice of the country.. as even in a recession not everyone hurts.

I mean, what you posted is supposed to happen and what the Fed is trying to make happen through rate increases. To me the economy was never strong, its all borrowed money.. I know its called recession, but we need a dose of reality... only this time the price tag will really go up further as we are at 32 ish trillion that we never paid back and have no intention to do so, so next recession lets just make that 50 trillion ! *LOL* No sense in living in a real world, no need to suffer, lets just keep borrowing money, its ok with me, Ill take what the voters vote for and chances are wont be here on D =Day when it really comes down or better said, even if I am here, I am well enough prepared.
Ps I like the link you provided.
 
“ so next recession lets just make that 50 trillion ! *LOL* No sense in living in a real world, no need to suffer, lets just keep borrowing money, its ok with me, “


I was thinking 52 weeks in a year X $1T per week = $52T for next recession.
