Mrs.Cicero Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Elon was born in Africa. That makes him more African than a lot of people claiming the name. Using "African" as a "politically acceptable" term for Black is inaccurate and stupid. JMHO, YMMV. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya mean he's not a "halfrican" like barry sweato? Nowdays, when ya say African American most people think Black. I certainly don't think, "Gee, he was born in South Africa." Just me I guess. Anyway, it shouldn't make a rats ass where he was born or what color he is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egypt is on the continent of Africa, so they must be Africans even if they don't look like Negroes. And, Africa, like Asia, is a place, it is not a race. <--- Finnish-American -- never been to Finland 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, the left will simply focus on everything Trump says, instead of anything else. The admins bullshit needs to be center stage. Trump should just let them cut their own throats and lay low. He does not need to be on Twatter to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he's a naturalized American citizen, at least per Wikipedia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuteTheMall Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Teresa Heinz Kerry is another, born in Africa, but since Mozambique was a Portuguese colony when she was born there, she claimed Portuguese citizenship before becoming an American citizen. She was a registered Republican and inherited her wealth from husband GOP Senator John Heinz who died in a plane crash. After gold-digger John Kerry married her for this great wealth, she eventually switched parties in 2003. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuteTheMall Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Musk only spent about 1% of his total wealth to buy that 9%, he could instantly buy over half of all twitter stock without spending more than 10% of his wealth. Then he could fire the board or make them do his bidding. And say whatever he wants to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Musk decided to not join Twitter's board. That way he is not limited to a 14.9% stake. He can also work with investment groups to control Twitter. He is not limited on what he can say about the platform. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/elon-musk-twitter-game-of-thrones-style-battle-analyst 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Gotta love that he issued an ultimatum: Quote Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company. As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced. My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder. Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it. While not explicit in his letter to Twitter's board, Musk's statement that he would "need to reconsider" his position as a shareholder if the offer isn't accepted seems to be a veiled threat to dump his shares that amount to nearly 10 percent of the company's stock.

pipedreams Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 https://spectator.org/has-the-rights-march-through-the-institutions-begun/ "There is a clear advance afoot, and it isn’t just a reflection of the polls showing a rough election cycle ahead for Democrats. Musk, who isn’t what you’d call a conservative but is a believer in the ideals of the American Revolution and a passionate defender of the First Amendment, is certainly no friend of the shot-callers of the cultural Left. He might just be the man who robs them of their most dearly held Big Tech darling. And when he does, if he does, conservatives will absolutely delight in telling our cultural Marxist friends, “Well, if you don’t like Elon Musk’s Twitter, then by all means go and build your own.”" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
