when will the $54.20 tweet be sold as a NFT?

The stock market does not really make all that much sense to me. I just don't see why businesses like Tesla and Twitter are hyped as being worth THAT much f'n money based on their actual sales. I get that they have unique technology and could grow into their big boy pants, but I can't get why they are worth like 8 times more than a company that sells 6-7 times more dollars worth of the same stuff. It just just doesn't seem to me that Microsoft or Oracle or any of the tech now true "bluebloods" were that out of whack in the days of 90s stock market hard on yore.
I got to go back to reading comics or listening to rock or playing guitar as if I start focusing on this stuff I wish the sun would go nova and wipe this planet out of the heavens.

It is pretty fucked up that for 99.9% of the planet money is a tangible thing that you only earn so much of each month but for certain ultra rich people it’s more of an idea which has nothing to do with your actual value or work ethic and is based on all sorts of imaginary concepts like speculation and leverage, plus can be manipulated in all sorts of (illegal) ways to ensure that the only people who will be affected by your shitty decisions are those who can afford it least

If I got from one of the tweets I read, basically Twitters total sales is like Olive Garden...which would not have sold for 43Billion dollars. Is this correct or am I misunderstanding the situation?

It’s looking increasingly likely that Elon Musk will withdraw his $44 billion takeover offer for Twitter. https://t.co/Mcf7PbiC0a— Ian Fraser (@Ian_Fraser) April 27, 2022
(nothing definitive in the article just speculation fwiw)
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 21:34 (two years ago) link
There are good reasons for him to get cold feet. The biggest is Tesla. The electric-vehicle maker’s stock has fallen around a fifth since Musk first revealed his stake in Twitter, partly because Musk may sell shares to fund his new adventure. If Tesla’s stock bounces back – likely if the Twitter deal falls away – the $40 billion of recouped wealth would more than make up for the break fee.

announcing he's going to buy Twitter, posting a shitload about how he's going to "fix" it, then not actually buying it would be so incredibly in character

The agreement also stated Musk would have to pay Twitter $1bn if he walks away from the deal.
That might make twitter actually profitable for a week or two

― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 27 April 2022 23:57 (two years ago) link
DeBear quite pointedly speaks only in terms of "ideas" and "communication", which are nice neutral terms, he does mention "extremism" in passing, but he carefully doesn't mention that genocide, violent white supremacy, death threats, doxxing, and purposeful campaigns of lies or slander directed at groups or individuals all fall neatly under those innocuous headings "ideas" and "communication". He argues that nothing effective can be done to end these things, so nothing should be attempted.
I can't wait until he's the target of such "ideas" and "communication" to see how he likes the sit-on-your-hands approach.

Musk's version of being a billionaire (trolling, lulz, financial crimes, drugs, $43bn toys) is far more comprehensible than, say, Warren Buffett's life.
