I don’t know about you but if a publicly traded company, which was trading fairly to the market expectations (way cheaper than peers like FB, Snapchat, Pinterest etc) went private and is now worth less than a third of what it was worth, mostly because usage and advertising revenue are both down, even if you don’t admit it, it was most definitely a mistake.

His goal was never to pay for it at all, but to make a lot of noise to cover cashing out of the insanely-overvalued TSLA stock.

Then he got held to it and they wouldn't let him back out, even after 3 attempts to break free of it.

So now he's got lemons and is making lemonade the only way he knows how.
