Didn't he sell X to himself? I don't believe anybody else would have paid 44 billion for the shithole it currently is


X is likely wroth far less than what he purchased it for and almost every financial post is in that consensus, BUT, he can now take all that data and everyone's data on it and feed Grok, so there could be something there now that AI suddenly took off. Yet to be seen what value can be created from that, but I suspect there is.

Sold it to another entity under his control for a loss and a tax write off, or some shenanigan like that.
Everyone is doing it.

Maybe he can sell Premium Grok bot service that will argue whatever your cause is to strangers, or itself on the internet.

I cant keep up with AI. Everytime you look there's new versions and new ones. Llama 4, GPT 4.5, Claude 3.7, deepseek R1, by tomorrow there will be new versions and five new ones.

From my knowledge he sold xAi to himself (X)

But he bought Twitter way earlier, then renamed it to X. Big news at the time obviously

Now its our turn to do the rippin!

T-minus 2.5 hours till the 104% tariff gets priced in. Will the mandate of heaven prevail? Or will manifest destiny rekindle its lost spirit?

Let the games begin!

There's definitely a path forward to make money even if initially it was a total losing proposition and just came out of a spat. Grok using the data from X I am sure can be monetized some way.

Oh lmao

I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This entire tariff shit is one mans ego and having a laugh. What a joke.

Reciprocal tariffs beyond 10% paused on everyone for 90 days. Tariffs on China raised to 125%.

Let’s utter a prayer for all those that solid and just missed the 7% spike

I wonder how many degens had a bunch of puts set to expire gambling away.

The market is so in-flux if you had any amount of insider knowledge right now you would be so wealthy.
