We're not going out like Rome, we're going out like Circuit City

So who's buying?

lexys.wtf•24 days ago

Saudis? If I recall they are owed a bunch by Musk because of the Twitter purchase and that's made basically no revenue from it

lovecolousa.bsky.social•24 days ago

Kushner?

Ah yeah let's sell the buildings we own so that we can rent them back. This is a good idea that has never led to the death of any company that has tried it.

So now private equity is buying up our houses and our government buildings. Did I mention that China is also private equity?

Trump / Musk: Return to office now!

Also Trump / Musk: Sell all the offices now!

There is a policy that can make these two efforts compatible, and indeed the RTO mandate is part of it....

"plans to sell" office buildings. ok, to whom tho [Aquaman meme]

lovecolousa.bsky.social•24 days ago

Billionaire friends of Musk and Trump?

jaqacid.bsky.social•24 days ago

billionaires are not known for buying things they can't use, and no one needs more office buildings these days. bezos can't even fill the campus he built outside DC

Is it time to protect the bless buildings now. I’m going to bed and honestly pray the lord my soul to keep…and all my loved ones. I’m over all of this insanity

They had a good going out of business sale. Maybe I can pick up a skyscraper on the cheap.

RTO while selling the O. Surly this ends with government renting from the new politically connected owner.

It’s a hostile takeover and in a hostile takeover you strip the assets. . .

As an ex-Richmonder, I concur

when we said “selling this shit for parts” they really thought we meant that literally

When President Musk is done with his Coup, and gets rid of tRump, the MAGAs will find they are living in the middle of a 1930's Depression -- starvation and one change of clothes. Sadly, most of the rest of us will suffer the same consequences!
