Elon Musk is buying Twitter to protect his ability to tweet, which is vital to his business interests, combatting the SEC, and because Tesla's stock stalled out

kinda the other side of @ranjanxroy's argument today https://www.readmargins.com/ ... @hongpong : someone should make an animation showing how a 40% drop in Tesla stock would trigger a massive loan repayment within this Twitter buyout scheme https://twitter.com/... @rafat : Also a great read, a grand theory of Musk's motivations. By @ranjanxroy https://www.readmargins.com/ ... @nkulw : “But the power of his tweeting also lowers his cost of capital, drives corporate partnerships, muscles regulatory pressure, is a recruiting tool, and touches every other element of Tesla, the business (not to mention every other business interest he owns)” https://www.readmargins.com/ ... This American Adam / @adamconner : @ranjanxroy nails the best take on the Elon buying Twitter story in today's @ReadMargins. Don't sleep on Elon's Tesla pay package, how it made him the richest man in the world, why Twitter is the next thing, & why it might be existential for the SEC. https://www.readmargins.com/ ... Rory Cellan-Jones / @ruskin147 : This is really interesting on how ⁦@elonmusk⁩ may be motivated by a pay package linked to an insane Tesla share price which has resulted in the “most rapid accumulation of wealth in human history” - and how he needed Twitter to fight off the SEC https://www.readmargins.com/ ... Gergely Orosz / @gergelyorosz : The only person who has an idea on his strategy is Elon. But we can assume that when it comes to the details and tactics, he'll wing a lot of it, and he's I afraid to adjust his strategy to any changes happening. The best analysis so far by @ranjanxroy https://www.readmargins.com/ ... Walter Hickey / @walthickey : this makes the most sense of anything I've read on this https://www.readmargins.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

    “If Twitter is existential to his overall business interests and his account feels threatened in any way, $46 billion for Twitter is a bargain for maintaining, and increasing, his $270 billion net worth” by @ranjanxroy https://www.readmargins.com/ ...

    musk alone probably added more to his wealth through twitter than what he paid for it — kinda the other side of @ranjanxroy's argument today https://www.readmargins.com/ ...
