So is there a t-shirt one can buy that says, "Here's My Dick. Want A Horse?"

Isn't that a country song?

I know, it's in his nature. Appears he is attacking the Truth Social competitor, it is a reflexive action.

President Trump needs to back off the rhetoric.
It's quite possible Elon could be posturing to win favor with the GOP on whatever he's working on next.

I've seen more "Elon Musk" hit pieces in random places than I can count. One was about how much of a failure 2022 has been for Musk. The only thing he's failed at is buying Twitter, and that's just in limbo?

Quote:

"Based on Twitter's behavior to date, and the company's latest correspondence in particular, Mr. Musk believes the company is actively resisting and thwarting his information rights (and the company's corresponding obligations) under the merger agreement," the letter reads. "This is a clear material breach of Twitter's obligations under the merger agreement and Mr. Musk reserves all rights resulting therefrom, including his right not to consummate the transaction and his right to terminate the merger agreement."
Twitter has been running a Madoff scheme for years. Elon is exposing that.

What are your thoughts here? Do you think he is doing this to drive the price down or is he looking to destroy the reputation and send it into a tailspin? Surely the board has to see there is no way they survive. He buys the company, they are gone. If they blow this deal, the shareholders get killed and they are gone. I am not naive enough to think there are some wokesters who would be fine losing 30% to keep twitter woke, but I don't think they come close to a majority when it comes to share ownership.

Elon seems to me to be a straight shooter when it comes to free speech. He saw Twitter as infringing upon that for solely political reasons. Took a deeper look and his spidey senses told him they were not on the up and up so he made the tender offer to find out the truth

In this world of zero accountability and propping up the left at all costs, I have no confidence that the natural order of things would play out here. I could see a massive financial rescue operation come about either from a collaboration of leftists and/or the government to keep them afloat.

They are an active, globalist, leftist, government propaganda channel and I simply don't think the powers that be will let them fail unless they have a backup ready to go in the wings.

Exactly. Dems would come to the rescue of a company 'savaged by Elon'; and the MSM would support it 100%

There is definitely a "tilted scale" here for sure. I think there are enough of their own people who want them gone for being caught flat-footed here. In the end, I still think Elon ends up with twitter, but at a discounted rate, but I would not be completely surprised if it was never about owning twitter either.

Possibly. Maybe for him it becomes a question of whether Twitter is salvageable or not.

For some reason I find it hilarious the word "consummate" keeps being used.

If the number of active users is materially less due to TWTR's underestimation or misrepresentation of the actual number of bots on the platform, I have a hard time seeing how Musk isn't successful in either retrading or walking away under the Material Adverse Effect clauses in the merger agreement.

Who is going to tell them?

The "agreed upon price and terms" went out the window when # of fake accounts became visible.

Yeah, when one cooks the books like that, the price gets renegotiated or the deal falls through.

Elon puts on a Vader mask : " I HAVE ALTERED THE DEAL. PRAY I DON'T ALTER IT ANY FURTHER"

And of the deal falls through, when the fraud is known, the current board and mgmt team are toast anyway

It's hilarious watching Elon try to weasel his way out of a deal he made for attention while high. What kind of moron waives due diligence when making a $44 billion acquisition? Buyer's remorse is a B, especially when it's for $44 billion.

Uncertain that a man able to accumulate a quarter of a trillion dollars in net worth can be deemed to have "made a deal for attention".

You must not follow Elon very closely if you don't think he is obsessed with getting attention.

I can assure you he has some plan. Twitter is fixing to learn what said plan is.

He's obsessed with making money. That draws attention.

Yeah, he definitely posts memes and acts like a child constantly on Twitter all day purely to make money and not just for attention. My bad.
