    You just said all the things I said, except you’re using an arguementitive tone.

    Yeah, he signed a 44 billion dollar deal as a joke, then he tried to get out of it when he said he didn’t mean it.

    Then he got fined another 2 million dollars for sending the judges his dick pics after the judges wouldn’t let him back out.

    Then after the sale went through, he did that photo op where he brought a kitchen sink and a toilet to the twitter building.

    How is stating what happened defending him? Everybody including SEC saw all of this happen in real time.

      Sorry, but if you’re capable of signing a $44 billion contract and the other party has a reasonable expectation that you’ll be able to produce that $44 billion, you’re capable of doing the same steps as someone who wasn’t “joking”. There is no “lol jk” exceptions in contracts.

      And honestly, with everything he’s doing now with Xitter and influencing public policy, I believe he knew exactly what he was doing and the “joke” and “uh oh I didn’t mean it!” was part of that
