He is trying to claw back .2% of what he paid for Twitter... Why does he even care? That's like a normal person trying to claw back 40 bucks on a $20,000 purchase but not really because it's less than a rounding error compared to his networth
It has nothing to do with the amount. It's all about fucking the other guy.
I've done work in homes and overhead clients bragging to other owners about how much they fucked the contractor for. Like, they have conversations about it. And it'll be a few dozen grand on a multi million dollar home.
In one development there was a kind of club for these guys. They'd go and get drinks and just boast about who they fucked over and for how much. I know this because one of them was the contractor that got fucked. He was in on it. He actually played the game with them. He never really lost mo ey though. He'd just not pay the subs. It's OK though, he blew his brains out a few years ago so he doesn't play anymore.
Jesus, I did not see that ending coming
Well that’s one way.
Textbook definition of: "Penny wise and pound foolish."
Yeah. The owner of my company is like that 😂
The owner of most companies, I've found.
True true. My favorite is that we are a trucking company. They genuinely debated dropping some out truck down 5 weight classes to save $700 a year/truck. They could only do that to like 10 trucks and those trucks pretty regularly hit the max legal weight they are currently registered for.
Because he spent all his liquid cash to buy Twitter and had to take on additional loans.
If you emptied your bank account for $20,000 and loaned an extra $5,000 to buy a BMW which constantly needs maintenance, an extra $40 might sound pretty good.
Yes you might have a house worth $500,000 but you would not be happy if you had to sell it or take loans against it.
Yeah I guess that's true but maybe he shouldn't have said he would buy it if he really didn't want to, ya know, buy it 😂
