I assume buying enough stocks to take over would drive the price way up. Good for me as a share holder. I would dump it as he's not shown a flair for the entertainment industry.

It's easy to put a value on Disney: $202.7 Billion brooklynite Feb 2024 #5

I wonder how fast Elon could destroy that? Johonny Feb 2024 #10

He'd have to come up with 51% of that. tinrobot Feb 2024 #17

Point of order: 51% of $202.7 BILLION is considerably more than 'a litte over $100 MILLION' Attilatheblond Feb 2024 #28

Typo, sorry tinrobot Feb 2024 #38

25% is all that's needed manicdem Feb 2024 #49

Wouldn't he likely need to come up we more Johonny Feb 2024 #41
