Which stonks are you buying if any?

Based Elon unbanned Trump from Twitter. Trump has too big ego to not tweet. Trump tweeting is good for stonks.

I've been saying for weeks that Twitter will be sold for less than 5bln. Maybe sooner, maybe less.

I'm still hoping that the Twitter-mess is really due to bad assessment/management, and not because Musk actively tries to force some market manipulation or even collapse some banks...

With 44bln at stake? I don't see how that could collapse any bank. I wouldn't think banks funded even 50% of the deal and still using a group of banks. Moreover, they may have required security, say over Tesla stock or something.

Collapsing banks is indeed too big a word...Major banks committed 12.5bln, but that was in April and things have changed. Banks are not making other investments due to the losses they will incur on this one.

Musk is no stranger to market manipulation (for which he used tweets, so it is puzzling to me why he would destroy the chicken with the golden eggs)...

12.5bln, likely split among at least 5 banks and they'll be a senior creditor. Not a biggie. Edit: Also, I really don't think banks are more hesitant due to expected losses on this specific exposure. I wouldn't say there is a flight to safety but banks and institutional and large investors of all kinds are indeed more careful now then they were up to, say, a year ago.

I worked on a transaction that closed this year. When we started last year we expected to pay a credit margin of 30-40 bps. It turned out to be 70 and it trades at 90.

And yeah, it'd be great if he hyped Doge again, I got 75 of those and need to get rich fast.

New Tesla gigafactory near Monterrey Mexico will be built on a 4,2 00 acre site. Tesla Semi truck, cars, parts, batteries, etc. Massive.

A $10 billion facility, and they'll have a private lane at the Tex-Mex border crossing.

Meanwhile, Musk suggested Twitter to be valued at less than US$ 20bln (https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...than-half-paid) which I assume implies close to 20 bln. He's only off by some 15 bln now.

Another way to look at it is that he's using it as an ad agency for Tesla and his other companies. Tesla has no communications department, hasn't for years, but other auto companies spend north of $3 billion a year on this. Amortizing Twitter over 10 years...

If he does eventually get it to make a profit it's sauce on the goose.
