“Back at the All-In Summit, David Friedberg asked Musk: "Could you buy some carriers to acquire more spectrum? Maybe buy Verizon?"
Musk replied: "Not out of the question. I suppose that may happen."

@nk I thought they’d be a shoe-in as well but.. their debt isn’t magnificent either…

Elon absolutely shall go with T-Mobile.
VZ has too much its head stuck in the sand.
BOD is as clueless as they were when Hans was taking them for a ride.
It’s musical chair. Dan is gonna make his 200M before he leaves
As for right now, it’s T-Mobile x Starlink.
Not AT&T x Starlink
Not Verizon x Starlink
Who gives a flying fu-k about “Real” 5G if you still have towers with 1 gig backhaul links?
T-Mobile still is sparse in my area but god they’re kicking our a-s with FTTT upgrades with 40 Gbps fiber.
I should not have social media apps erroring out to “No Internet Connection” while I sit at a lunch spot with 4 bars of 5G.
When Dan mentioned the 1000
Days until AGI. I think that was his warning to the company that they will be replaced by A.I. in 3 years.
Although anyone that knows A.I. can’t see a lot of the Verizon network. For instance, all the copper that is out there.
I can’t help but wonder if Dan is being paid to intentionally wreck the company. That way Star Link or Amazon can come along later and buy Verizon for pennies on the dollar.
@at keep guessing.
@at another 15k Verizon employees are in jeopardy early next year due to RIFs and losing their jobs.
Not mentioned yesterday morning at the corporate all-hands meeting, these 15k will be white-collar Verizon employees and not labor/craft.
These will be Verizon's US employees and Verizon employees in Indian.
@OP another 15k employees are in jeopardy early next year due to RIFs and losing their jobs.
@OP: good post, always worth a long shot and Verizon needs all the help it can get after its debacle with Hans the terrible!!!!!
@a1: recalling the Elon already has a business relation with T-Mobile US, Incorporated, Bellevue, WA, which was consummated by its previous and departed CEO G. Michael Sievert.
The current T-Mobile CEO is an abrasive and a brat, Asian-Indian, promoted from within, Srinivasan Gopalan, promoted from within, and Schulman should be able to outshine this egocentric Asian-Indian foreigner with an heavy accent.
@a1: eBay stock price has also eroded due to the strategic errors by both PayPal as well as eBay.
@a1: it is a feeler and thought invoking trigger!!! Remember everything is pondered and staged. Never say never. Schulman knows Elon because of Shulman's "failed" stint at PayPal Holdings, Incorporated and was force to separate thus another incompetent loser latching on at Verizon.
Shulman cost PayPal an enormous erosion of its equity and stock value == meaning that PayPal's share price is in the dumpster due to strategic errors relating to eBay, Incorporated.
@OP Meaningless. Nice try to adding zero
