Also, the better the offer gets the more likely it is they get sued if they keep their head in the sand.

Well outside my knowledge base. Expounding on it any further would be like someone suggesting that we're going to have 15% mortgage interest rates next year. I'll leave it up to the lawyers to discuss the ramifications of international law.

The first "More Tweets" I see after the shadow ban tweet..




Twitter is a sewer.
Yes, Elon needs to be all class like the leftists are. I'm sure they will miss this guy kind of like the folks who won't fly because they lifted mask mandates.

From this O'Sullivan guy's bio page:

"Resister | Sports Nut | Music Lover"

Got that all you Right Wings Crazies??? I'm a ReSiStEr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um, last I checked the Dems controlled the Presidency and both Houses. What's he resisting exactly?
It's his role play with Bill Gates. Bill Gates pretends to be a sexual predator and he pretends to resist.


Wouldn't surprise me if he was. He essentially had an open marriage.


True, but he forgot to clue his wife, Melinda in on the open part of their marriage. Once all of the Epstein island stuff started coming out and she started learning about his exploits, they separated and she divorced him.

She knew about it all along. Once the public found out is when she was forced to divorce him.

Might be that, might be that he has clearly outlined that he's not joking around and has fully funded his bid.

I think with the EU you're going to see legal challenges that forces them to define how they determine what is and isn't misinformation and how misinformation one day becomes information the next. How they determine what is and isn't hate speech and what's just uncomfortable truths. **** the EU.


It's really weird how a trade organization has moved into the censoring speech game


Lucas was prescient.

The melt is going to be great. Genuinely can't believe he's pulling it off, thought the nut jobs would win.

Business judgment rule gives a lot of latitude, but any shareholder litigation could conceivably get their hands on board emails, texts, etc. And I suspect that would reveal the board didn't have much of a business case for turning down Elon's very attractive offer.

It also doesn't help that the board collectively has almost no ownership stake. That's a bad look.


My wild-ass guess is a board member (or several) talked to their own attorney and realized they were personally in a very tough spot.

They learned from Enron.

Lou Pai has been the blueprint for Bezos, Gates, etc for the divorces lately IMO

Elon has a religious cult around his companies

Shareholders on Twitter should want him to take control, it probably means the stock will go up in a huge multiple due to his popularity amongst meme investors

Yeah, but if he does what we think he will do he probably can go public again later and make a bunch of profit and still control it.

Depends on how much he wants to stand on free speech principles. He claims to be doing this to expand free speech...

Who was the poster who declared Musk would never have a seat on the Twitter board, then admitted they were wrong, then claimed they were right the whole time?

This tells me somewhere behind the scenes, the Swamp has figured out a way to continue to control the TWTR agenda. It may be through something like what the EU is doing with social media regulation. It also might have something to do with the electric vehicle market regulation as well.

They will not let this mega podium for their propaganda be taken away easily.

Maybe regulators have hinted to the key board member and exec mgmt at blocking this deal and the board has cover to accept the deal.

Doubtful, but I think the swamp likes control over Twitter and still has a few cards to play.
