Okay. But seriously tho. Besides all this "blackness". What do they know about running an airline?

Is knowing how to run an airline a requirement to front the money and buy it? Would love to hear this answer.

What kind of stupid question is that?

I'm sure the people whose livelihoods depend on the company being viable would appreciate it. Or maybe the equity holders might have a say?

Would you want the Black Panthers taking over Indigo and running F9 for "Black Entrepreneurship"? It's okay though. Because they have the money to do it, that's all that matters.

EDIT: Also, a lick of common sense would also tell you, if you're going to sink $Millions into a company, you might wanna know how to recoup your investment.

Given the current definition of DEI, I can’t imagine this acquisition going smoothly.

Seems fitting for an airline HQ'd in Broward county!

I was unaware Hashim Walters and The Latimer Group were part of the Black Panthers. Maybe you misspoke.

When in the history of history has it been a requirement to “know what you’re doing” when buying a company? I can name several powerful, rich people in recent history that don’t know the first thing about what it is they are in charge of and yet they are in charge.

You don’t know the first thing about Hashim Walters.

Alright. Fair enough.

100%. I don't know anything about him. Quick google search, he ran for Mayor and lost at 22. Seems like he is also a lawyer. Lot of talk about black and LGBTQ. Still not sure what that has to do with purchasing an airline.

So what makes him an airline owner? Why would investors give him money to buy NK? What is he offering to the debt holders that surpasses what F9 offered this month? Why whould NK equity holders be okay with him?

Here's your chance to advocate for Hashim Walters.

Man, what’s got you so wrapped around the axel?? How about you buy spirit and show us how it’s done. No? Leave it to the people with money then.

I mean our current management is doing it great…. It’s inspiring to me to know that literally ANYONE could run an airline better than they are. ANYONE.

Money talks, regardless of competence… Elon has done quite well for being a moron with no prior education in engineering, computer programming, or rocket science…
