- He could have easily slowly acquired the necessary shares using shell companies not listed in his name.
- This is a common tactic and given his notoriety it is a no brainier. Later you consolidate those shares in a series of private transactions and the majority owner becomes clearly known. This happens all the time but somehow he can't figure this out?
- Now we have the DOJ actively interfering with private market operations- a huge expanse of scope and a departmental overreach.
- We also have direct evidence linking Twitter to gov agency influence operations

Your basic premise is wrong, you assume that Musk is somehow an anti government entity and for free market. Study his companies and you will fins the opposite.
That's not my point of view but rather the populist point of view as evidenced by the shrill cries of liberals. The purpose of this post was to deconstruct this by illustrating counter examples
I dont have any evidence to back this up but doesnt it seem likely that elon musk, with space x and the nuerolink stuff, is as much on the fed governments payroll as whoever owns twitter is. Its like Weylanf and Yutani Corp merging. Is it retarded to think maybe this is basically just money laundering
Yes. Another NGO like Facebook
Or is it all just a diatraction? These were good points tho this is a helpful analysis
No he couldn't. The Twitter IPO was 70m shares - around 9%. Musk didn't buy the shares on the open market but bought Morgan Stanley's 73m shares in a single transaction which in and of itself couldn't move the market. The announcement of him doing it is what did that.
I think we're agreeing. He could have easily accomplished his goal if he wasn't so public and obvious about it
He had to announce it because of the SEC
So why not use corporate entities such as shell companies
Probably he's a narcissist
