Brother becomes "Daddy"? Musk angrily smashed 290 billion to buy Twitter, one step closer to colonizing Mars!

Under the American Marvel Comics, there is a supervillain, and Thanos can destroy half of his life with a snap of his fingers.

Thanos had near-invincible mental power, and most of his attacks were in vain against him. Thanos is also a strategist who wants to take down the entire galaxy.

In the movie, Thanos is destroyed by Iron Man wearing the Infinity Jewel glove; outside the movie, Thanos' mantle is being inherited by another "Iron Man".

Space X, which launches satellites, can launch nuclear bombs and colonize Mars; Neuralink, which connects the brain and machines, can cure diseases and cure people more; Musk presses the enter button, and Dogecoin plummets; Musk rings his fingers, and more than a billion users' Twitter is in hand.

In the past, it was only possible to "leverage" virtual coins, but now the cultural public opinion field can also be controlled.

As a result, Musk is gathering territory, "people", culture, currency, energy and many other elements, and wants to take the happy water, which is the rhythm of going to space to build a nation.

Don't look at Musk's deep love for women, but he is very affectionate with Twitter.

In 2009, not long after Tesla founder Martin Eberhard was kicked out, Musk moved to Twitter, a global social platform second only to Facebook.

Musk has witnessed the rapid development of Twitter.

In his first year in business, Twitter had only 58 million users. In its second year, Twitter's users had grown to 200 million. In the fourth year, the number of Twitter users exceeded 500 million, and after two years, it successfully exceeded 1 billion...

During this period, Musk contributed a lot of activity to the rise of Twitter.

Since entering the station, Musk has sent more than 17,000 tweets, with an average of more than 120,000 likes and more than 83 million fans, which is the largest V besides entertainment stars.

He also made no secret of his love for Twitter.

On Christmas Eve 2017, Musk tweeted "I love Twitter" and asked "how much does Twitter cost?"

This is somewhat out of date.

The drama of the poor boy marrying Bai Fumei will only happen on TV. At that time, although Musk was not a poor boy, he was by no means a landlord with surplus food in his family.

That was Tesla's toughest time, and Musk was worth only $20.8 billion, less than a tenth of what it is now. At one point, he also approached Apple CEO Tim Cook, hoping that Apple would come up with $40 billion to buy Tesla.

However, today is different from the past.

Musk, who became the "richest man in the world", achieved the highest level of financial freedom. How much? It's not just a string of numbers.

In January 2020, Musk attended The Corporate Summit hosted by Twitter in Houston, USA, as a "mystery guest" invited by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. At this time, Musk's name has shifted from the "influence" list of the head of the brain to the actual "wealth" list.

As soon as he came out, the audience boiled over. The Twitter employee's "we love you" has made Musk's heart continue to be restless.

On April 1, April Fool's Day, 2022, Musk's name popped up on Twitter's shareholder list. This shareholder is not simple, and it is the largest single shareholder of Twitter, holding 9.1% of the shares.

The world's richest man has a stake, and Twitter can't close its mouth with a smile inside. The current CEO also wanted to pull his brother into the board of directors, but was rejected by the boss.

The board of directors cannot be the intention of Musk with the universe in mind. Children do multiple choice questions, Musk "I want it all."

On April 14, musk's merger of Twitter documents was officially exposed; on April 16, Twitter launched the "poison pill plan" to try to resist; on April 25, the resistance failed, musk and Twitter reached an agreement, the former will buy Twitter at $54.2 per share, a total price of about $44 billion.

In just 11 days, Musk staged a drama of "brother" becoming "father".

It is not easy to be a brother with a big guy, JD.com's courier brother knows, and tesla's founder also knows.

Twenty years ago, Musk earned his first pot of gold by selling two companies, Zip2 and PayPal. With that money, Musk did two big things.

One is to create SpaceX, which can go to heaven; the other is to invest in Tesla, which runs on the ground.

In 2004, Musk invested $6.5 million in Tesla from the $100 million he received from the sale of PayPal. At the time, Tesla's Series A funding was only $7.5 million in total.

Seeing that Ma was rich, Tesla founder Martin Eberhard could only obediently give up the position of chairman, and the final decision on all the company's affairs, and he became CEO himself.

Three years later, Tesla was in crisis and a new CEO was in office. Albert and his partner were squeezed out of the company, and Musk completely took tesla.

Now that Tesla has been deeply tied to Musk, few people remember that Aberhard is the "father of Tesla".

Like Tesla in that year, in the matter of chasing Twitter, "complete control" is Musk's purpose.

Even if everyone points fingers at Twitter and says it's "dysfunctional," it's not as problematic as Facebook, TikTok, or the business model... Musk is also a must-have look, even at the expense of a premium to buy.

This is obviously not as simple as saving advertising costs (Tesla's advertising spend is 0).

Musk's official caliber is: Protect Free Speech!

After all, Musk has been beaten by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because of his free speech.

That year, Musk announced on Twitter that he wanted to take Tesla private, only to be accused by the SEC of deliberately misleading investors. Musk also paid a hefty $40 million fine for that.

Musk said: "I hope that the critics who hate me the most will continue to stay on Twitter, because that's what free speech really means." ”

But when you believe it and shout "Long live free speech", Musk will teach you to be human again.

Because someone just criticized Tesla's conference experience on the front foot, Musk personally canceled the Tesla order on the back foot.

Freedom of speech on Twitter is freedom of speech under Musk's rules.

Remember the Bitcoin quotes last May? Musk single-handedly "leveraged" the direction of Bitcoin's market.

At the beginning, Musk connected Bitcoin with the purchase of Tesla, linked Dogecoin with SpaceX's capital crowdfunding on Mars, and made the price of virtual coins soar, and thus gained a number of worshippers.

Later, Musk gently pressed the Enter key, announcing that Tesla would suspend the use of Bitcoin payments. On that day, a large amount of wealth evaporated in an instant, and almost all virtual coins fell sharply: Bitcoin fell by more than 5% a day, Dogecoin plunged by 15%, and Ethereum also fell sharply...

The clouds and rain are just Musk's thoughts.

Some people say, you all go away, what freedom of speech, what controls the field of opinion, Musk buys Twitter, this is running to the president of the United States.

Cheesy.

As one of the most visited sites on the Internet in the world, some of the views on Twitter do sway the attitudes of some voters.

For example, in the Obama era, the use of social media to deal with young people and promote voter voting has become an important activity for the presidency. In the 2016 election, Trump used this skill to the ground, which was successfully promoted.

However, "Ma Jianguo" is not Sichuan Jianguo after all.

Not to mention that Musk was born in South Africa, which does not meet the law that a U.S. presidential candidate must be born in the United States. Musk has consistently described himself as a "utopian anarchist."

When named "Person of the Year" by Time Magazine for 2021, Musk envisioned a world.

In this world, everyone can do whatever they want, and there is no greater hierarchy of power. But such a world is not completely free of rules. There is also a definite term in front of the world, called Musk World.

He did not forget to remind everyone that such a utopia may be on Mars, which is 55 million kilometers away from the earth.

Everyone on Earth knows that Musk has a dream of Mars.

His "Mars colonization program" began with the founding of SpaceX 20 years ago.

The Mars colonization program is divided into three steps in total.

The first step is to mass-produce rockets. This skill, Musk got 10 years ago. SpaceX has built Falcon rockets, grasshopper rockets, Dragon series spacecraft, and the Red Dragon spacecraft has the ability to send cargo and passengers to Mars.

The second step is to send humans to Mars.

At the "Code Conference" held in 2016, Musk gave the "Mars Project" timeline: launching the Red Dragon spacecraft to Mars in 2018 for pre-technical verification; launching the Mars Colony Transporter (MCT) in 2022 for unmanned deep space flight testing; and sending humans to Mars for the first time in 2024.

The third step is to take 1 million people to Mars and create a new Martian civilization.

Twitter, which controls public opinion, is undoubtedly a weapon for creating a Martian civilization.

In early 2020, Musk suggested to Jack Dorsey, then Twitter's CEO, that Twitter should upgrade its artificial intelligence technology to better identify robot "water troops" and identify fake news so as not to be manipulated by specific groups.

He hopes that five years later, in 2025, he will be able to tweet on Mars.

But Jack Dorsey's Twitter apparently didn't satisfy Musk, and he had to create a civilization himself.

After Musk takes office, he will change Twitter's current business model of relying on advertising, emphasizing the subscription payment model. As for the payment method, it may be Dogecoin, or it may be a new generation of digital currency created by Musk.

People have, taxes have, there is no shortage of transportation (Tesla, Space X), space communications (Starlink), plus Neuralink, which can enhance humans into cyborgs, the "King of Mars" is also stable.

As for why Musk had to send humans to Mars?

Musk's rationale is that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity. He believes that it is necessary to expand a colony for humanity before artificial intelligence destroys the earth, that is, Mars.

So you see, although Trump congratulated Musk on the acquisition of Twitter, he also said that he would not return to Twitter.

One mountain does not allow two tigers.

Chuan Jianguo wants to save the United States, and Ma Jianguo wants to save mankind.
