Colbert on Elon Musk Buying Twitter Shares: If He Doesn’t Like How a Corporation Operates, He Just Buys It

‘How much more evidence do we need that he’s turning into a super villain’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “After years of tweeting silly memes and bad takes, while at the same time constantly criticizing Twitter’s business practices, this week, musk bought a 9.2% stake in Twitter, making him the largest shareholder. Wait a second! So, if he doesn’t like how a corporation operates, he just buys it? How much more evidence do we need that he’s turning into a super villain: “what? Guac is extra? Then this chipotle is now mine! Mwahahah! Mwahahah! Wooo! Aaah! Now, where do I get my free refill? Musk’s investment immediately caused a spike in the company’s stock price. In fact, musk has already made $800 million on his Twitter investment. $800 million is the most money ever made off Twitter without selling pictures of your feet.”
