Don't underestimate the ability of Twitter to deceptively plot to thwart a freedom-loving American from taking over to fix the problems.

This would make the most sense, right now, if they plan to support selling to him at his offered price.
Otherwise, the stock is about to drop, a lot.

Bloody hell! Is that true? Baker now works for Twitter?

There is a distinction between unregulated and transparently regulated.
The problem with Twitter today is that The Babylon Bee can get the banhammer for an article mocking a dude that pretends to be a woman, while leftists escape unscathed for calling for the death of conservatives.
(Just look at the responses to any DeSantis or Abbott tweet if one wants to see the sort of vile leftist content that doesn't bother Twitter in the least.)
4chan actually is regulated, quite a lot actually. The amount of gore, porn, and snuff film style posts that are deleted is huge. Leftists have been trying for years to get the site banned so they will post the most heinous things imaginable up and including child porn. The mods have to be continually on their toes.
This is not even mentioning the threads posted by bots, of which there are many on /pol/. The bots are highly sophisticated too and it's often very difficult to tell if they are a bot or not. You can usually tell by the content of the post (if it's meant as a demoralization of whites then it's a near certainty that it's probably a bot or a leftist).
4chan is controlled chaos but never make the mistake of assuming it's unregulated. A true unregulated place would look like the dark web where you would see the absolute worst of humanity and just viewing the site would probably be illegal.
I barely understand what's going on anymore but this has been one of the more entertaining things in awhile.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Why does the left hate Elon so much? He's literally plotting to take over Twitter to then leave everyone alone. Surely its not because you only like free speech when it's controlled, limited, and filtered by those who share your agenda.
They hate free speech and can't stand someone with **** your money that isn't willing to bow to their desires. Musk is also immensely successful and white, which makes their hate go to stratospheric levels.

I doubt a Musk owned Twitter would completely remove moderation. He isn't looking to create 280 character 4chan, he just wants to get rid of the "fact checkers as arbiters of truth" model that, for example, promulgated lies about the Steele Dossier while removing stories about Hunter Biden's laptop and covid's possible lab origins. Now it'll be up to you the reader to come to your own conclusions on complex topics.
You can eliminate that without giving up the right to ban racists who are dropping N bombs in every other post.
You can read 4chan at work, just do it on your phone. This is what I do!

True, he is that!
If you have some watch Barbarians At the Gates. It is very funny (James Garner stars) and tells the tale of the takeover of RJR Nabisco in the 80s. That might help you to understand the moves being made here, partially at least.BenFiasco14 said:

You only approve of twiiter right now because it's regulated in the manner you like it to be regulated in. I'll give you a nickel's worth of free advice right now - it's trash as it is in its current form.GeorgiAg said:

Would much rather see Musk go after facebook than twitter, but that's because I actually use facebook betwee my 30 day bans and have never once been on twitter.
Facebook is people pretending to be wealthier and happier than they are. Twitter is where the libs and bots influence the population to vote for socialists
I'm curious... what gets a person banned on FB?schmellba99 said:

Censorship and suppression of free speech is all the liberals have left. Their administration has fallen apart and things are looking bleak. They're going to fight like hell to keep Twitter.
That's a shot across the bow. Letting the Twitter BOD know they better do their job or their will be consequences.will25u said:If the current Twitter board takes actions contrary to shareholder interests, they would be breaching their fiduciary duty.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 14, 2022
The liability they would thereby assume would be titanic in scale.
I imagine behind the scenes on the Twitter BOD it is chaos right now not knowing what is coming next. It will be interesting to see what else Musk has up his sleeve.

Telling a woman to fight hard and kick her school board's ass about this gender identity thing.
Well, that is what got me a week posting ban and 45 days of my posts on groups being lowest prioritym
He's the largest shareholder. I'm sure his lawyers have penned a lawsuit against Twitter's board if they don't accept.Rockdoc said:
Elon has more than one card up his sleeve. I'd be willing to say he's a few steps ahead of them.
I bet a draft was delivered to the board as part of his offer as well.
toss a coin to your twitter, oh elon of plenty

We can beat them at their own game, conservatives need to band together, everyone should buy a few shares of Twitter stock.

1. Normal every day conversation among like minded people in a private group
2. Joking with a buddy
3. Saying women are nastier than men when discussing the sanitary conditions of public restrooms
4. Posting memes (I'm effectively shadow banned on facebook now when I'm not outright banned)
5. Not being a leftist hack

We are looking desperately for a White Knight right now, so we will consider your request for an indeterminate amount of time.
A $60 / share offer probably kicks Musk out of the running. But that means someone has to come up with ~$45B for a loser company. That's a hard pill to swallow.

Does it? Taking a company private restricts the number of shareholders but it doesn't limit it to only one.Quote:

Next steps are one of these:BenFiasco14 said:
I barely understand what's going on anymore but this has been one of the more entertaining things in awhile.
1) The board outright rejects the offer, and Musk and at least one friend files a shareholder derivative lawsuit, saying that the board is not acting in the best interests of the shareholders.
2) The board puts the offer to a vote. The side with the most shares win. Likely, the offer is accepted.
3) Soros and Vanguard make a competing offer, and Musk makes a ton of money on his 9% holdings.
4) The FBI and CIA raid the offices of Tesla in California and Austin, coming up with evidence that Musk did all kinds of bad things, including manipulate the market, defraud Tesla shareholders, and have sex with underage girls that he is related to. The board rejects the offer due to the controversy. Biden pens an executive order that Tesla is no longer eligible for any tax breaks from the USG. Musk buys Thailand, and moves all Tesla manufacturing there.
Unfortunately, I think the odds of all four of these are about the same.
Elon needs to get his buddies Peter and Larry involved.

And if it's #1 or #3, the dust settles and he does it again. But this time with a bigger pile of cash.

Also that time Azealia Banks talked about being flown out to his place in LA ostensibly to collaborate on a song with Grimes only to find the two of them on drugs trying to have a threesome with her and Elon melting down because he foolishly got on Twitter in the midst of an acid trip and was reading all these comments from people hating on him. Also she said Grimes "smells like a roll of nickels" which is endlessly hilarious to me for reasons I can't quite explain
Even if I did smell like a roll of nickels, is that bad?
