You think that "buying things from other people" is the same as "reinvesting"?

Yes. Buying a publicly traded company through stock is indeed an investment, and using monies earned from stock previously bought or owned from other companies is indeed reinvesting that money.

Interesting take. I've never seen that one before.

If you've never heard of this before, I suggest this as a good primer: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/glossary/stock

The entire activity of buying and trading of stocks is 'investing' and 'reinvesting'.

I'm gonna go reinvest in a 12 pack, talk to you later.

Maybe lay off the booze a bit and you'll get it.

Oh I see, you're confused about the difference between private stock ownership and corporate finances.

u/CurvySexretLady 1d ago

No, I'm not confused at all. You are.

Musk invests and reinvests his monies all the time into various companies through stock and otherwise. His purchase of Twitter is a de-facto example of such investment. His companies also invest and reinvest their monies into their own company, through stock buybacks as an example, but also purchase of stock and investments in various other companies.

Pretty much all companies do this, especially publicly traded ones.

Again, read this to help de-confuse you: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/glossary/stock

And I'm rubber while you're glue lol.

There's a difference between him spending his personal money and the company spending their money.

It's honestly baffling how brainwashed you must be to not think there's a difference.

You've now spent several replies insisting there's a difference between two things I've never claimed were the same.

Are you actually reading my comments, or just arguing with yourself at this point?

That difference is the crux of your confusion.

I'm not surprised at all that you don't understand.

u/CurvySexretLady 1d ago

Then quote where I claimed personal and corporate finances were the same.

I'll wait.

Give me an easier one.

Musk invests and reinvests his monies all the time into various companies through stock and otherwise. His purchase of Twitter is a de-facto example of such investment. His companies also invest and reinvest their monies into their own company, through stock buybacks as an example, but also purchase of stock and investments in various other companies.

You just quoted me explicitly describing Musk's personal investments and his companies' investments as two separate activities.

The word "also" should have been a clue.

Thanks for illustrating my point.

You described a personal investment and insisted it was an example of corporate reinvestment.

That difference is the crux of your confusion.

I'm not surprised at all that you don't understand.

You're getting boring.
