Elon Chatting

 Elon Musk said yesterday: "The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter."

I sat and pondered upon this.

Most everything that President says or does (even back to the campaign period)....was choreographed, and done with a teleprompter if possible.  How he made it through the two debates?  I have the faintest idea (had to be knowing the questions, and tons of practice time to recite the statement over and over).

Who really runs the telepromters?  I'm guessing Jill is there 75-percent of the time, and two or three trusted insiders the rest.  

But there's another thing that Elon did, which is interesting.  He told Twitter (blunt statement)....they have to rid the company of fake account/bots for the deal to go through.  Then he tweeted....he thinks 20-percent of Twitter accounts are fake (way more than what the company says.....at 5-percent).

I've read different account (various experts talking over this).  Based on their chatter....I'd say 10-percent is the minimum.

Here's the issue....if you dig up the 10-percent, and ask who they follow.....it might lead to a bunch of Democratic leaders and news sources (CNN, MSNBC, WaPo), and if suddenly you deleted that 10-percent.....the followers of CNN might slide off by 80,000.  Same story for President Biden.

Is the stock price offered ($54.20) still reasonable?  I personally would suggest a $10 cut if you find it's 15-to-20 percent of fake accounts.  

Are the fake accounts even just US?  No....you can't make that statement.  Maybe Putin's followers are one-third fake.

I'm fairly attached to Elon's thinking.  If I had to pick someone that I wanted to 'manage' the US (call it a CEO of America), then he's the guy I'd pick.
