Why would someone buy Twitter?

It's free on the App Store
Lots of ways to make money that don't involve selling the app, the key is having the users and activity then it is just a matter of finding creative ways to make money from having a massive audience.


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.

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.

I thought Elon was going to be arrested for not disclosing his 5% purchase?
LOL, that was a funny argument.
Yeah, those shareholders that were threatening a lawsuit don't have much to complain about today.

If the board rejects Elon's offer, is Elon going to begin actively targeting individual shareholders in a hostile takeover attempt?

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

You mean they must pause for a second and say "Hmmmm" before saying no?

That's what conservatives tried to do and it failed. I honestly don't see it happening. We shall see.

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.

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.

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.

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
