For that reason, advertisers are jumping ship? I think not. Now pay your $8.

At all.....Elon Musk knows nothing about business. Just woke up one day and became world's richest!

Idaytesj29:


With all due respect sir, all that you stated above are not true. And this is causing some people pains, don't trivialize it. Just try to do an undercover investigate journalism, you will be amazed by the facts you will gather.

When it's only IGP and his entourages plus Commissioners in charges if states gets DTA, is that not by privilege already?

How many lecturers get TETFUND? Put it on ratio. How many of them get funded doctorals without paying with their salaries? If you don't belong to the ruling clique, these inadequate fundings becomes elusive.

Difrent:


Guess you missed the part of my submission that clearly stated these things are not enough but they do exist and people are benefiting.....of course when something is not enough everybody there will be lobbying and use of connection...

He needs to hire a CEO and step back. He said nothing changed but it has been noted that N-word usage went up 500%. That is a big failure of moderation.

Free speech yay

Is twitter food that I must pay $8 a month or die of hunger?

Ordinary YouTube that is like school, I use Brave to get around the intruding adverts (and shout out to Basilico I must too, and anyone who knows me knows that's a name I gag to mention), And Elon thinks he can musk me for $8 a month for a blue tick, lol.

I get it. If I had ₦44b to detoxify Nairaland I guess I wouldn't mind, not to talk of $44b to buy freespeech on twitter, but not everyone is willing to put their money where they put their foot (shout out to b.... again).

kkins25:

Without twitter, Peter Obi wouldn't have quarter of the fame he has now. so i say, the lot of us need twitter. Supposing i was a merchant or a public figure, i would need that blue marker.. Musk mentioned the prices would be adjusted based on country...Given that things such as 'likes' 'shares' and 'followers' are now part of the human pysche, we would at the end of the day pay the $8 or it's equivalent for that ego boost... lol.. Its not even compulsory, so i don't know what the fuss is about...

Why d hell doesn't s.eun have a rank structure for this platform self?? At least a star or badge or something...

Maybe people are fed up with leftist social media. FB has been sinking deep. lordreed guess what, FB is loosing money for the exact same reason twitter is.. probably the inflation affecting business. winks!! Now, pay your $8..

#teamFreeSpeech.

GloriousGbola:


we may actually watch twitter turn into truth social in real time.

budaatum:

No he doesn't! He owns 27/44 of it. Check the funding please.

Larry Ellison, the Oracle co-founder owns some.

Former Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey owns some.

A group of banks, including Morgan Stanley and Bank of America own some through loans.

Billionaire Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and his Kingdom Holding Company owns some.

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance owns some.

I can't tell you how much they own though, as its now privately owned by them and they don't have to disclose.

not true

thebosstrevor1:


what is not true

the sec filing categorically wrote that elon has 100% shares of twitter

look at it here

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/876661/000087666122000890/0000876661-22-000890.txt

CheapHomes1:


Initially you said "almost 100%". Now you are saying "100%". Are they the same thing? I don't even see anywhere in your link that supports your position.

If Musk has 100 % shares of Twitter, then what do Larry Ellison, Qatar Holding and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia have in Twitter?

https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/how-will-elon-musk-pay-twitter-2022-10-07/

thebosstrevor1:


Lol...now you are using my words against mine instead of using the proof i gave you.

The sec filing is what Twitter filed to the US government.

The article you posted was on the 7th of october,while the filing was at the end of october

CheapHomes1:


Which proof is that?

You chose the words you used. Am I responsible for your words? If you choose to entangle yourself with your words, there's nothing I can do about it.

If my article was on the 7th of October, how does the SEC filing at the end of October nullify the information in the article?

Like I asked If Musk has 100% shares of Twitter, then what do Larry Ellison, Qatar Holding and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia have in Twitter?

CheapHomes1:


is this meant for me or someone else because i dont see how it is related to what i said

thebosstrevor1:


You can argue all you like.

The filing to the sec is more important than any online mefia article.

The twitter filing sent by twitter to the US government
says Elon musk owns 100% control of Twitter

End of discussion.

maasoap:


Who's complaining now? . This means that you haven't got it but Musk is getting it.
Soon, he will realise that twitter is about people, not the tech world he's familiar with.

gypsey:
[color=#990000] Musk has his reasons to have bought twitter, we poor people can never know why he bought twitter, we are not in the position to teach him what to do or how to run his business, he is a genius.

go read the sec filing

Musk x holdings own all the stock of twitter

maasoap:


Stop belittle yourself, stop talking down on yourself.

The reason he bought Twitter is clear to everyone now: profit. And no one is blaming him for buying it or the way he's doing his things. The issue at hand now is that he should stop complaining about the way people are reacting to his decisions concerning Twitter, he can't have it both ways, nobody does.

CheapHomes1:


How does all this correlate with the post you responded to?

budaatum:


The Sec filing states the intent to delist. It does not have to mention all those who retain a holding interest in a private company, which I have listed for you. I see I'm not the only one too, but I guess you will insist.

Really!

The sec filing states categorically states that elon musk owns 100% stock of Twitter under the X holding company, which he bought for USD 54.20 per share and in cash

The sec is just like the sec in Nigeria, companies record, profit and loss statements and business structure ownership are reported to the government but here you are saying that something different.

X holdings is owned 100% owned by elon.

This is another sec filings by twitter and x holdings

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/876661/000087666122000890/ruleprovisionnotice.htm
