    In order for Musk to even get 30% of Disney's stocks, he'd have to pay most of his entire fortune over, where half isn't even possible. Add in that if he does buy up enough stocks, it'll cause the price to skyrocket before he reaches the full 30%. So yeah, he can try, but it's basically impossible (and just so we're clear, the highest stock owner within Disney only owns 8% of stocks pricing at nearly $1 billion in vallue, and they're not gonna sell to Musk just cause he wants it. Hell, it's literally impossible for Musk to buy up half the stocks because he'd need way too many stock holders to sell him theirs, and most won't just do that).

    There's a lot more to this than what's officially out there. By the way, the board members are made up of Iger's friends and associates and hold very little stock in the company, so have very little responsibility towards it. In terms of voting, they do whatever he says.

    • @edwxx20001
      @edwxx20001 Před 3 měsíci +9

      one of the biggest lies in cooperate ownership is that board members and the CEO need to have a large amount of stock to be properly incentivized to do their job. this is woefully untrue, large ownership stakes by board members and CEO's tend to cause short term gerrymandering of books and a lack of long term investment. likewise having incentive packages based on a stock price reflects, only short term goal of increasing the stock price instead of corporate value.
      That being said, Iger's return to the company has been messy.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 🎬 *Speculation on Elon Musk's Interest in Buying Disney*
    - Elon Musk's comments, tweets, and lawsuits have sparked speculation about his potential interest in purchasing Disney.
    - Musk's association with Nelson Peltz, criticism of Disney and Bob Iger on Twitter, and support for Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney contribute to this speculation.
    01:38 🐦 *Musk's Criticism of Disney on Twitter*
    - Musk frequently criticizes Disney and its leadership on Twitter, particularly targeting Bob Iger.
    - He accuses Disney of wokeness, institutionalized racism, sexism, and poor shareholder service.
    - Musk's tweets and retweets, along with his vocal opposition to Disney's actions, suggest his dissatisfaction with the company.
    03:01 ⚖️ *Support for Gina Carano's Lawsuit Against Disney*
    - Musk offers to cover legal fees for individuals facing consequences for their tweets, including Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney.
    - While Musk's support for Carano's lawsuit indicates his alignment with those critical of Disney, legal challenges may face significant obstacles.
    - Despite potential limitations, Musk's backing of Carano's lawsuit adds to the perception of his interest in Disney's affairs.
    04:38 💰 *Feasibility of a Musk-led Acquisition of Disney*
    - While Musk's interest in Disney is speculated, the practicality and affordability of such an acquisition are questioned.
    - Musk's net worth, largely tied up in illiquid assets like Tesla and SpaceX stocks, poses challenges for financing a Disney purchase.
    - Even if Musk could orchestrate a takeover, Disney's board and stakeholders may resist, complicating the acquisition process.
    06:42 🤔 *Musk's Intentions Regarding Disney Ownership*
    - Despite criticism and speculation, there is little concrete evidence that Musk actively desires to purchase Disney.
    - Musk's vocal opposition to Disney's actions may simply reflect his personal opinions rather than a strategic desire for ownership.
    - While Musk's comments and actions raise eyebrows, the feasibility and true intent behind a potential Disney acquisition remain uncertain.

      It also comes with massive world wide theme parks, which apple does not have any institutional knowledge or desire to own. It comes with a lack of synergy for apples core enterprise, electronics. While it does have value for their streaming service, apple already has the cash on hand and expertise to run their streaming service without outside help. the linear TV services would be an albatross to anyone buying Disney as even Disney doesn't have a great plan on how to deal with it.
      All in all, apple has better things to do with their money then buy a bloated entertainment company just to get access to their back catalog.

      Yes. Replacing old well instated story lines with black actors isnt right. I mean come on, they coud've made a movie about one from a THOUSAND beautiful African Folklore. NO they wanted to pat the black community on the back and make a cash grab.
      If its a new story line, sure including actors from the black, hispanic and asian communities will be morally and logically correct. As we saw in Marvel and Star wars, and other franchises where some of the most celebrated characters were of those communities. Representation matters, but creativity and a reasonable story line is important as well.

    If he made an offer, the board would have a fiduciary duty to its shareholders to entertain the offer at the very minimum. But they’d also have the evidence to sight that the Twitter takeover was disastrous and there’s no reason to suspect that a Disney takeover wouldn’t be equally disastrous. That being said, I think Musk would have to provide a solid plan to profitability in order for him to acquire serious loans. He would need something in the ballpark of 200 billion dollars from investors and loans. That’s a whole new level of trust that musk would have to acquire, at a time when he is trusted the least.

The interesting thing is the collateral damage in the process, Disney prides itself on how clean the parks are and well maintained the area is vs the surrounding area to the point that they have their own fire department so it wouldn't surprise me if that disappears in the first week. Then watch as a public meltdown followed by a crap load of toothless lawsuits as various IP enters the public domain (Steamboat Willie was just the first).
