Honestly, I don't believe they will.Quote:
I hope the alphabet bureacracy leadeship is ready to deal with endless investigations of their activities starting Nov 2022.
First of all, I'm not sure the "good" Republicans have much faith in the investigators. Secondly, about 30% of elected Republicans would likely not support any sort of investigation, either because theyre friends with the targets, or because they to are involved directly, or tangentially. Thirdly, It would easily be two years before any investigations are complete.
I'm not saying don't do it, but it damned well better be specific goals, and the good guys better have a say in who does the investigating.
Probably not. Florida needs himProc92 said:

None of that surprises me. I thought the old "$420.00/share" was old news.
To me, that was about two years ago. I knew there would be lawsuits when he said it, but kind of figured he'd have that one put to bed.
Either way, every topic you brought up will be rehashed by the compliant media several thousand times. In fact, a meteor could hit Earth next week, and the sidebar Musk stories would be the headlines.

Law fare. Good for them, good for us. Put them on the defensive, cost them money and time and stress.
I have a serious, nave question. Musk's offer is for 100% of Twitter. What happens if a stockholder, no matter how small, refuses to part with his stock; for whatever reason?
***It's your money, not theIRS! (At least for a little while longer.)
Awww, can we do one year where Elon does to the left what they did to the right? Just one year. Then we can open it up to everybody....Rockdoc said:

Like clockwork... Elon is a white supremacist!!!!!!!!!!!!At its root, @ElonMusk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left vs right.

It’s about white power.
The man was raised in Apartheid by a white nationalist.
He’s upset that Twitter won’t allow white nationalists to target/harass people. That’s his definition of free speech.
Elon is more of an African American that Talcum-X is.

The board (elected by the shareholders) authorizes the sale of all shares for whatever price.taxpreparer said:

This. And shares have contractual actions. Same way the board could vote to split shares, change dividends, buy back shares, etc.
How does it get turned to a private company after that?bthotugigem05 said:The board (elected by the shareholders) authorizes the sale of all shares for whatever price.taxpreparer said:

Are you saying that if I own 100 shares, I can be forced to sell them against my will?

Twitter ain't rocket science. Room full of junior developers, a few managers & execs…plus sales and marketing….Tesla and spacex on the other hand are real companies facing complex issues trying to make complex tangible products.
I'll bet there is layer upon layer of typical Silicon Valley largess to cut out at twitter…not to mention useless woke VPs out the ying-yang.
Twitter's current Equity and Inclusion Officer better have that resume out.
It's being reported he will succeed in purchasing Twitter. That's per the WSJ.
Let's just get this out of the way up front. I ma not pretending to be stupid about this, I truly am stupid about. If I own those shares, why/how, can I be forced to sell them? Coerced by an inflated price, I understand, but someone else deciding how much I get for my shares, I don't.

We need a place where ALL ideologies, including those on the extremes or on the outside, can have open and free discussion. If you don't like the discussion, you are free to move on or block others personally.
I want leftists who are willing to engage in discussion to REMAIN. But those who demand censorship as a condition of remaining at Twitter...... they are incapable of engaging in good faith and are totalitarians. Let them cancel themselves from the forum of ideas.
Now it's "I might disagree with every word you say and I'll label it as disinformation, get you banned and removed and use shadow ban and other measures to ensure nobody ever hears or reads any words you say or write."

you can be forced to sell them because you agreed to that when you purchased the shares
He's not buying it out of spite. He plans on making money off of this investment. Will be interesting to see how he changes it.ToddyHill said:

Yeah this. It's part of the fine print. Your broker is really the one handling it anyway, but if you and your lawyer had the shares yourself, you'd be in breach of contract if you didn't sell.BMX Bandit said:you get the same everyone gets.taxpreparer said:

It's not like Real Estate. You don't own 1 millionth of a percent of the Twitter headquarters just because you own stock.
If you want to get more money for your shares, convince the rest of the owners to say no.
That was the contract you signed up for when you bought the shares. If you disagree, argue against the company's formation documents. You agreed to this when you bought the stock.
Where are all the super important "experts" who claimed Elon was going to jail over some silly techinicality? Lots of folks should eat crow over this.
Lots of posters were super cereal about the violations. Laugh at you.

You're asking great questions, this stuff can get really confusing.
My 4-year-old pangender child, Stardust, just asked, "Matt, if Elon Musk takes control of Twitter, will hate speech be normalized? Is Democracy over? Will life even be worth living?"

I looked at them and replied, "Yes, yes, and no." And we simply held each other and sobbed.

I didn't know Musk had over 83 million followers. Wow!
