Locked. No further comments permitted.It's OVER: Elon Musk and Twitter Have a Deal
Apr 25 2022 12:39PM more by Atticus_Finch
Tags: Current Events

So much for twitter's board and their 'poison pill'. Apparently when they were threatened by law suits from the share holders they caved and began negotiating in good faith.
It'll be an interesting next few days as the 'blue checkmark' brigade and msm completely freak out, not to mention the far left wokies.

Let's hope Elon was telling the truth and he's a Free Speech advocate.

Doesn't affect me at all but I like the idea of watching far left-woke idiots and the msm run around with their heads on fire.

I'm a capitalist. I have no issue with anyone owning it, as long as they do it legally. If Musk wants to leverage his Tesla holdings to do it, good for him. I'd love to see twitter become the troll outlet it once was.

it once was...meaning they're good now??



we are not quite sure yet how the deal will go down...he's made mention of keeping as many shareholders as want to stay on...gotta imagine it will be a sizable percentage that wants to go for the MUSK ride...everything he's done has been golden so far...and not like this is out of his wheelhouse

he will gain control for a lot cheaper personal outlay, than what's in the headline news

exactly he will take it private though i think he is planning to take space x public eventually.

twitter is not an investment for musk, its buying him the right to publish his free speech and not be controlled by others and what they feel he should be allowed to express.
i dont think his plan is to sell it again or take it public again.
musk knows the power it holds and for him thats worth a lot of money.


personally i think musk have done more for the environment than any and all green nonprofits have done in a lifetime.

Twatter has been a dumpster fire for years.

Their own metrics say half the accounts on there are fake/abandoned/bots.

All your blue check idiot slactivists are crapping their pants right now and that is fun to see.

I hope it goes down in flames. Its where a certain demographic goes to "cancel" people they don't like and whine about why they suck at life.

'The more woke board members and employees Musk fires, the better the world will be.'

I think you can pretty much count on the entire board, the ceo and almost everyone else who aligns with those idiots to be gone. Musk hates the board and ceo and has talked about how mismanaged the platform is. He's also come out and said he hopes his biggest critics stay on the platform - sounds like he likes people who disagree with him and, if not open to their ideas is at least open to hearing them.

I doubt he's ever going to take space x public, he's already come out and said he doesn't like public ownership cause it takes away the freedom of what he wants to do.
If he takes twitter private it won't be back on the market.

probably right on full on PUB offering...they seem to have the money to do what need to do now...might spin off a part of it

i'd be inclined to keep it private...the cash will be rolling in with starlink and gov. contracts

plenty of ways to buy out the employees that need/want to get out...though that could slow the talent coming to work for his company

be a slower trek to a personal trillion net worth, but loads of cash for other big TOY projects

I don't believe that at all... plenty of people will be applying for jobs that the crybaboes leave. I also believe it's a very vocal minority that is doing all the bellyaching and a few woke type division heads pushing an agenda... there will be an exodus but I doubt it will be their most productive people.

Could it be because Tesla builds the most popular EV on the market?
For those of you idiots that think tearing up the planet for lithium and rare earths just so you can move the pollution source from the car to another location is a good idea?
To solve a so-called problem that nobody but Greta actually wants solved?

Goebbels why do you think nobody cares about Greta Thunberg when millions of people love and admire her? Is it because nobody loves or admires you, including yourself?

Anyway.

Arsenal of democracy.

There is no ignoring the historical symmetry of Athens defeating Persia and Ukraine defeating Russia. A little democracy defiant against an autocratic giant is the stuff of legend, of hope, of belief that there is good and there is bad. But Athens had slaves. Persia had freedom of religion (as long as you paid your taxes). Democracy is tyranny more diffused.

Elon Musk wants a twitter of free speech. That is only a freedom of the strongest bully on the playground. Which is no freedom at all for posterity. So why does democracy seemingly always win? Despite its contradictions like favoring the weak over the strong and capitalism over equality? I think about this constantly. The founding fathers hated democracy so they made a republic. And they promoted the constitution in the federalist papers under pseudonyms, much like twitter. But with more words. And intellect. Freedom inculcates responsibility. Responsibility builds character. Character builds strength.

Democracy does not win wars because it is a stronger idea but because it creates stronger individuals. Democracy incorporates imperfection as its modus vivindi. It tells us to live and fail and succeed and hate and love without scorn for anyone or anything but ourself. Real democracy means responsibility to defend freedom and not to use the word freedom as a PR pitch to buy a company or invade a country. Because they are both the same substantially.

Musk, Tesla, Giga battery is not green and is not helping to reduce CO2 emissions is that a fair statement?

Once again science is not clear, apparently it depends whether or not they (Musk) are politically correct, IF they are then its the greenest and brightest shining example of what we need to do to stop climate change.


But if they (Musk) is not PC then it simply cannot be the solution - scientifically speaking that is.

Go figure..

A friend of mine is an engineer for Tesla - Musk pays VERY well and there are a lot of perks. So I doubt he'll have any trouble getting talented people to replace those he kicks to the curb whether there are stock options or not.

I’m mixed about this. Musk is an innovator and pays well to get to the top, and this is a good investment. However, not sure if his ideas about politics and free speech will turn rancid on Twitter and make the company fall apart. I already know a few but jobs with too much money and free time who want to fuck things up online, and have hired actual staff to do it once the safeties come off.

My response was for someone else, HeyI'mAPartisanIdeologue.
My Easter resolution was to not beat up on the site retards, so play nice.

Greta is an emotional psychopath and mentally unsound.
There is NO existential threat, simply a problem to be solved by human ingenuity.
I realize your mom will have to get involved on this one but try having her read the following to you:

@sherkahn, I think watching Biden as POTUS is awesome. I think he's much
better than Trump. Watch he'll show us over the next 3 years and be re-elected. 👍
Dems love a high cost of living and more taxes. It's AWESOME!
Did I hear recession? That seems to be on the horizon. Biden's team is AWESOME!
As I have stated before, more misery to come. Way to go Dems.

From the NY Post:

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin said she dreads Elon Musk taking over Twitter, claiming it would benefit “predominantly straight white men” who are on the social-media platform.

“When Elon Musk says, ‘Wow, this is about free speech,’ it seems to me that this is about free speech of straight white men, so let them have it,” Hostin told her “View” co-hosts on Tuesday.

I guess she's worried about *un-approved* racism and sexism running rampant on Twitter. (Does she even hear herself?)

Watching lefty dopes melt down over losing their propaganda machine is almost as hilarious as watching Twitter employees crying and gnashing their teeth. Over free speech? Something that the Twatters grant that despicable Louis Farrakhan and the Taliban but not Tucker Carlson?

I hope the next thing Elon gives the world is a University where people go to get educated versus indoctrinated.

This may be Musk using AI to patrol twitter. Instead of imperfect humans. Humans have
biases and proclivities. AI will fact check, authenticate, remove tweets that violate TOS. Humans will be customer service and sales. Those expecting some sort of payback or twitter revenge need to stop crying. Your day of reckoning aint coming.

If they don't violate the TOS they can have an account. Or who decides which asshole can have an account.? You know hx members get to post anonymously. If you fuckers had to show your real names things would be more civil here.
