From the article:
Richard Holway, an analyst at TechMarketView, mused: "You may think this is just an entertaining sideshow. But real people are getting hurt. Twitter has already announced job losses and rescinded recent job offers. Recent buyers of Twitter shares might well have taken Musk at his word. Clearly that wasn't that wise as they are now nursing big losses.
I keep recalling something about a sucker, and every minute. I'm sure Elon is counting (possibly literally) on that.
And then there was this part, also from the article:
"I always thought there were trading regulations around making price sensitive announcements. Every tweet that Musk makes moves markets – see his comments on taking cryptocurrency to buy Tesla cars etc.
Silly Richard! Shirley, you should know by now that such inconveniences as "trading regulations" don't apply to fatasses like Elon Musk.
