Why would you want another con artist and thief running eBay?
They already have too many working there.

Probably do yourself more good listing than trying to speculate on such an unlikely event...........

The stock price would rise once he made his offer to take it private, and there would probably be a modest bump in sales due to the ensuing press coverage.
Once he acquired it, there would be cost cutting and layoffs and an increase in fees as he made the financials look better and prepared to take it public again.
But he has no history of experience in running a third-party ecommerce site, so I do not think he would suddenly take a keen interest in making changes to the site. He would let eBay management do that.

LMBO, I thought that as well.

I would quit...
Musk buying it would have more validity though....and way more value added.

He wouldn't.
Those are my thoughts on the subject.

Bill Gates wouldn't buy eBay.
Elon Musk might, then buy it and complain about all their shady practices while running it into the ground.

He bought a stake in Heineken beer.

Can Bill afford it after paying off his ex and all the people to keep his Epstein Island visits secret?

If Gates bought eBay, I would guess my Apple products wouldn't work with the site anymore. At the very least, I would probably start seeing a "It's not us, it's you" page on a regular basis.

Elon Musk is way up into the Space, do you really think he would mess with EBAY?

You would get messages on screen every fifteen minutes that is was not genuine.

Actually, no thoughts about Mr. Bill as there are plenty of other things to think about.
