Thanks! It's Sveltekit + Tailwind. Hosted on Netlify.

I'm not a developer, so it's a real testament to how good and simple a framework SvelteKit.

With Firebase, presumably: FirebaseError: [code=resource-exhausted]: Request failed with error: Too Many Requests

Yep

I was using it as the database to track results, but I guess we went over the limit. Fun problem to have! But it's back up.

Inspired by Matt Levine's awesome reporting on the Elon/Twitter purchase fiasco. Just a little app to model the arbitrage (gamble) opportunity.

Frankly, I’m disappointed I can’t pick prices that end in $X4.20!

Or $X.69! OP, do you even Matt bro?

It is now back down! A real victim of success.

People seem to be discounting the fact that Elon still owns 9% of the company and is one of the largest shareholders. He just wants a chance to renegotiate as he know if he actually walks away he will lose around $5B.

If he's allowed to actually walk. Legally speaking he waived due process and twitter is suing with the specific performance clause. If it were just about anyone else I'd say there's 0 chance they'd be getting out of this, but since it's musk he might be able to walk.

Good chance TWTR is going up 10-15% tomorrow (Tuesday) when the court approves Twitter's request for a fast trail. (risky of course cause the stock can drop even more if the court rejects the request but I think it's unlikely)
