Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

These 13 billions were not loaned to Musk but to Twitter. So Musk has no obligation to personally honor those loans. The bank bought the story sold by Musk that he could make Twitter so profitable that the company could repay these loans.

They loaned Twitter the funds to buy itself? The more I see the bigger this scam seems.
A perfectly common practice: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveraged_buyout
The buyer is not supposed to kill the value of the company this quickly though.
Can they seize Twitter and sell it to someone else?
