This weekend was spent enjoying a review of an interview with Elon Musk hosted by Ted Chief Chris Anderson from April 2022. Click here to enter: Elon Musk talks Twitter, Tesla and how his brain works. Seeking clarification on his perceived value of Twitter and the stock markets as a media outlet, it’s clear that Musk is a self-proclaimed seeker of truth. Arguing that the power behind Twitter, combined with the speed of coverage, makes it an undeniable tool for free speech, the backbone of democracy.
Reviewing a Forbes column on Musk’s recent sale of Tesla stock, it’s clear that whether he buys or balks, he has the funds to do so. Forbes.com highlights include: (a) “Musk sold $6.88 billion in Tesla stock earlier this month, accounting for about 7.92 million shares in total, reports Forbes.” (b) Adding that Musk “has sold almost $7 billion of Tesla stock in recent days … brings the total liquidation to over $15 billion so far this year, and almost $32 billion over the past 12 months “. And (c) “Speculation is that the funds are being raised to finance Musk’s lawsuit against Twitter and provide capital if he is forced to pay a fine or go ahead with the acquisition.”
Conclusion and recommendation: Twitter continues to be the go-to social media for news updates, and if you’re not on it, get on it today. My vote? Musk, get in there – clean it up and BUY it.
Posted by a NYC financier on Aug 13th with the title “Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and other billionaires are funding a search for rare minerals buried under Greenland ice capable of building electric cars and renewable batteries” (click here to enter).
Suspicious of the PR machine behind it, not to mention the experience of working with Greenlanders making Californians look lax on environmental issues was dismissed as irrelevant and/or wishful thinking. Then today this latest news came out: Hudson Resources and Neo Performance Sign Agreement for Sarfartoq Rare Earth Element Project in Greenland (click here to enter), one is compelled to rethink this position.
To do: Interview Jack Lifton on the Neo Performance/Greenland deal. Discuss the rare earths in Greenland and perhaps correct my misunderstandings in previous media coverage that the residents will not allow anyone to provide production. This includes contacting Dr Ruben Shiffman of Greenland Minerals and inviting him to the Critical Minerals Summit on Wednesday 9 November 2022.
Finally, referring to the Twitter Tips, in addition to constantly reminding companies to include their trademarks and web URL in their “About” information on Twitter, it was watching an expert explain how to be a effective Twitter user. He says we need to find a topic of passion and keep our readers interested in something we are engaged with.
“Engage your reader…” is a recurring theme.
Come to think of it, my favorite Twitter user is Terry Lynch of Power Nickel Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: CMETF) — “Canada’s Future Low High CARBON Nickel Mines.” Terry is behind Save Canadian Mines and is a market leader in discussions about the negative market impact of predatory short selling. Elon Musk specifically addresses the unprecedented levels of attacks on him and Tesla on this front, so perhaps Elon will enjoy Terry’s latest tweet.
Terry Lynch posts this via @SCMining on Twitter and writes: @IIROCinfo has made a very important statement. This puts Investment Banks on notice – the onus for predatory #shortselling is on them. This is a great start to correcting a major problem in our markets (click here to enter).
