Julie has a lot of disdain for Elon, which as a reporter, makes her ill-suited to form unbiased opinions.

[Saddlemomma]

Julie, your extreme bias is showing. Time to recuse yourself from Journalism.

[gameofyou]

Elon will be the best thing that ever happened to Twitter.

[richardfs]

Julie, you say does Elon want it to become this huge profit-making venture, or does he want it for his own use. You seem to disregard Elon's own statement about why he is doing this. It isn't about money and it isn't that he wants his own New York Post. He is a free speech absolutist. He wants to make it the platform that it was when it was created. A platform for free speech (within the law), which he believes is in the best interest of humanity. Don't assign some ulterior motive where there is none.

Julie is clearly missing a few cards in her "deck". Get someone more intelligent please. Brian on the other hand has the facts straight... why the airhead bit with Julie?

[evanderb]

I would accept Elon’s offer even at $40 per share. That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the world’s greatest entrepreneur buy your company. Clearly seeing the very best version of Twitter is not of any interest to the board. That’s too bad, it could have been really exciting.

[yackawaytube]

Elon Musk should buy Yahoo News and make Julie's salary to be $0

[gavincurtis]

Elon’s is the best thing to happen to Twitter. Elon said he is doing it for survival of mankind and not money.

[harrychu]

Saving $3 mn right off the bat is the type of value we have come to expect from the TechnoKing of Tesla.

[kandoo]

Julie is a covert lefty and it's starting to show.... She's taking this personally and she's beginning to panick jusy like her flock at Twitter. Lolll

[chris-pjrk]

Excited for Tesla's future
Should I buy before split or after split? Too hard to decide. I‘ll do both.

[johnnycage]

Who ever thought removing half the country was good for business 🤪

[kam]

He explained why he wanted to buy.
The fact they don’t know why says a lot about how uninformed they are.

[fletchlives]

She really doesn't know why he wants to take over twitter? She's the wrong person for this job then.

[airgunningyup]

why would he pay the board anyway ?? theyre supposed to benefit from stock gains.

[huh..]

Whole Twitter in one hand and talking about free speech

[rchuhk]

Did she just say "Fxxx" 39seconds in???? haha...

[brandonjones]

Good they don’t deserve to make any money since they are going against investors

[dhank]

"It sounds like he wants to make a bunch of money on it." What? Where are you getting that? He literally said the opposite. lol

[evachiever]

He made 150 million by not filing his 5 percent buy in time. Do the math.
