How long do you want to ignore this user?

Why would someone buy Twitter?
It's free on the App Store
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Etc are not social media companies. They're data collection companies. It takes surprisingly few people to actually keep the platform running. All of those big buildings and people work in data mining and selling.
If twtr fends off Elon, I hope he moves to takeover Truth social.

Hostile takeover, figured this was coming when he turned down the board seat. If he offered 25% over market value, doesn't the board have an obligation to its shareholders to seriously consider it.
They are. Reviewing it with Goldman Sachs.

Yeah, those shareholders that were threatening a lawsuit don't have much to complain about today.nortex97 said:LOL, that was a funny argument.Marcus Brutus said:
I thought Elon was going to be arrested for not disclosing his 5% purchase?
If the board rejects Elon's offer, is Elon going to begin actively targeting individual shareholders in a hostile takeover attempt?
I hope he deletes all bot accounts.
The sheet be funny!

Also, how many "days of rest" are going to be needed after this latest offer from Elon? Twitter gave its employees 1 "day of rest" after Elon bought 10%. I guess now they are going to need 9 "days of rest"?
If he does buy it, I predict a mass exodus of liberal fruitcakes to another platform, including all of the media outlets, Hollywood celebrities, corrupt politicians, etc. satantalk.com or whatever
If @Twitter rejects @elonmusk's offer, @paraga has to resign, as will most of the board. They will have acted directly against the financial interests of shareholders, violating their fiduciary duty.

That's what conservatives tried to do and it failed. I honestly don't see it happening. We shall see.
We can expect a network swarm to form to neutralize Elon.
— John Robb (@johnrobb) April 14, 2022
The swarm's war against him will get substantial political support (contracts, regulatory review, new regulations, etc.).
What is a network swarm?
There would've been so much beauty in him announcing this in a tweet...

Which is why the Democrat party wants to restrict those rights. Their opportunities for empowerment are severely limited when the populace is educated on the true outcomes of their policy positions.
*TWITTER'S BOARD IS MEETING AT 10AM ET TO DISCUSS ELON MUSK'S TAKEOVER OFFER - CNBC
— NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) April 14, 2022
The first thing that the Twitter board is going to do is look for a white knight to come in with a comparable offer
— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) April 14, 2022
The problem is that it's such a massive offer, not many people would be capable of it
Bezos? Gates? Buffett?

Please do this!! Please let this bid fail.
Reasons:
1. Musk is very well liked by "moderates" and is respected by non rabid liberals. Aligning against this guy is not a good idea.
2. ESG becomes exposed to a court ruling. This would be a monumental case.
Interesting take to think about. Neuralink is Elon trying to connect the human brain to cyberspace. Interesting to think about if we could somehow be connected to a platform like twitter.
Twitter could be a Neuralink play for Musk.

Kinda terrifying.
taken from elsewhere but very true...
"If Elon takes over Twitter, I will cancel my account" is the new "I am moving to Canada if Trump is elected"

80% of Twitter shareholders are institutional. They'd be stupid to reject this offer because the stock would absolutely tank if they do.

That's why he made the offer. He has no serious expectation that they are going to accept or even consider his offer.

So my brain would play endless loops of GIFs?
all cat videos, all the time.
If Elon takes over twitter, it will be the only way we will be able to embed a moderate social media platform on our TexAgs posts

actually, it will just be Trump tweeting mean things into everyone's brains.
