I also find that annoying.

Also, when there are customers waiting, the clerks should not be answering the phone ahead of people waiting right in front of them.

Did Trump contemplate a buy out of Twitter already and figured out it was a bad deal?

Trump is said to have talked Elon into buying Twitter. Your comment makes sense now. Trump could have contemplated buying it, but knew it would have brought the full might of the weaponized DOJ and Courts on his head. So he could have talked to other billionaires to buy it, to put the TDS hate machine in a mental trap, trying to justify stopping Elon Musk from buying it. "Not every can be Hitler" as it were. In the end they couldn't justify why they would object to Elon buying it, but not Jeff Bezos.

Trump cracks me up:

Does Trump have $44B lying around?

The thing with Tesla is the same thing with Musk. It all sounds good and looks flashy, but when you get down to it, all you've got is a bunch of hype. Electric vehicles, not just Tesla's, but all of them, are impractical, inefficient, and wreck the environment. On top of that, Tesla's spy on you with Gates/Google like precision, and allow the company, or the government to shut your car down whenever they feel like it. It's a model with no future.

Musk talk's freedom, but supports the NWO. He "sounds" good like Bernie Sanders sounds good. But his reality is neural nets, one world government, carbon tax's, and fucking everyone in the ass.

Moot anyway, since Musk did not inherit his wealth.

Sure, every poor kids dad owns an emerald mine in Africa. He didn't inherit it the same way Gates and Zuckerberg didn't.

He might be strategizing. He knows the tech crash is upon us, and might feel he can use the "unexpected" number of bots to argue that his prior bid was too high.

Losing 1B to renegotiate is chump change compared to maybe saving 10-20% of 45B or w/e he bid.

heh, I might be right.

Interesting. In 1914 it only took 93 minutes to assemble a new Model T.

Being sarcastic, but there's a reason you don't see many Model T's on the road now.
