    He'll turn it over to the board and wash his hands of it is my best guess.

    Elon paid $44B for a $10B business which is now worth $5B(?) If he walks away and turns it over to responsible hands, there's a good chance he'll make a lot of that money back over time.

    Did he go to the same failed business school as Trump or something?

    Personally?
    I think ThatOwlWoman made a good point on this yesterday:

    'And if the only point of view you want to hear is your own, you probably don't belong on a political *discussion* forum. Just sayin'.'

    https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...10#post5416510


    But, in matters of 'chat forums'?
    I strongly believe the less rules, the better.
    The more freedom, the better.

    That certainly sounds reasonable. A lot of the time, however, the problem isn't so much differing points of view, so much as complete disrespect for differing points of view. The ability to thread ban people to avoid having to deal with those who clearly have little if any respect for those starting the threads does wonders in increasing the signal to noise ratio and can help remind people that speaking with a given individual is a privilege, not a right.

    This isn't intended for debate anymore. You and your kind did this.

    When you think of my purple dick do you picture it fully erect and throbbing, Ms. Moon? https://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...hattered/page6 #83
    Bend over, darlin'. Here's comes my purple one-eyed Christian!
    It's a thick veiner, so you'll be certain to like it, dear.

    Without independent member moderation there wouldn't be any alternative voices heard. They'd be swamped by establishment morons and perverted cowards such as these.
