They aren't convinced at all. It'll give them unwinnable court cases that they can use to rally their base for reelection who will be so mad their witch hunt isn't successful they won't notice the GOP fucking them from every which direction.
99% Invisible did an episode on this.
It's a great listen. Basically it makes audiences think the show is funnier, or rather it gives audiences permission to laugh out loud alone.
Yes, which is exactly why Republicans are making those crazy claims.
When the Saudi deals resurface in the public spotlight Republicans will point to those baseless claims and say "How is what the Trump kids doing any worse than this!?!?!?" and their followers will accept it at face value and say "See both sides are doing it, it's bad but no worse than what the other guy is doing"
Henrietta is right there
What's even funnier is initially the investigators were only looking to get $250M. During the case after a monitor was appointed, the Trump Org. started shuffling money around and they went after more money due to those actions.
His entire campaign raised ~$330M in 2016 election cycle. At the very least it's a massive hit to the funds they have to spend.
In New York State you have to front 110% of the money before you can appeal. So he would have to front $390M just to file the appeal.
His whole 2016 campaign raised $330M for context.
He's also on record under oath saying he has $400M cash on hand meaning if he doesn't actually have the cash on hand he perjured himself as well.
The follow-up question was literally "What accusations are you making against Biden to justify removing him from the ballot?"
Like dude, you can literally make up anything and your base would eat it up. You couldn't even do that. What a moron, and he'll still lose almost zero support from his base because they didn't actually pay attention.
It also wasn't really successful before he came in either. It rarely was profitable and usually operated at a loss.
I mean Musk has seemingly made every bad move imaginable, I can only imagine the ideas he's been talked out of.
I agree wholeheartedly with this message, but also don't disregard advice from elders simply because they're old. There are some real nuggets of wisdom you may miss.
What's hilarious to me is a large part of the value of Twitter was the actual brand name "Twitter" and "tweets". Those terms are recognized around the world and pronounced more or less the same globally. That is something no other social media platform has ever been able to reproduce. It's always "posts", "likes", "messages", and "comments."
This is a literal destruction of value for absolutely no reason other than the fact that one guy think it sounds cool.
Throw this onto the pile of "Elon clearly doesn't know what the fuck he's doing"
Anyone who can't see that this is a bad idea is being willfully ignorant.
