Cheaper to lose a billion or so right now than paying through the nose now that the market has tanked.

As someone clever on Twitter said re: Musk and Twitter: "I'm suprised. I didn't know Musk knew how to pull out."

I don't know, I think his kids might be a tad too young to join.

they will settle for the 1B$ penalty.

I read some analysis that this may have been his play all along. He apparently sold $8.5 billion of Tesla stock related to this deal, and that went off without serious questions which held up the stock price of Tesla more than if he just said he wanted to dump some stock. In light of that the $1 billion fee may actually be profitable as his incremental stock proceeds exceeded that amount.

Not sure that is true but I love the bond villian theory that he is playing chess at a higher level than we recognized.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
