so if i trick a billionaire out of giving me 20$ i didnt trick him? i get it, it's not a massive amount of money, in fact its not elons money, its twitter's money. all i said was he got gamed, that stands.
as to the market and assets, yes. i have a safe account for both stocks and crypto, and i swing trade crypto. and i buy/sell things in my hobbies for fun, disc golf discs, coins, magic cards, blacksmithing stuff, etc.
My takeaway is that those posters who likely identify as progressives here on d2jsp seem to be chalking all this up to a victory, because a buyout was executed as they typically are. By all measures, this is a massive L for the left wing - allowing the full spectrum of political expression on one of the largest online platforms rather than just the leftist angle. It is pretty cringe, this attempt to salvage the L because Parag Agrawal got a pay day.
