    Parlor and the rest fail because people want to be where the action is even if they get shit about being there

    Twitter is the current town square.

    I'm not there but then again I'm a drunk injun so nobody cares where I'm at but your point is still valid and so is the point that all these losers threatening to leave will come groveling back because there is no way to unseat Twatter at this point in tim.

    10% of twitter users poast 80-90% of the content. A few years back in some mag that's probably out of business, an article was written about businesses that would be gone by 2020. Twitter was one of them. It was a fad that couldn't be monetized.

    It seems to me that if this is a fiduciary response they almost have to sell to him (which it is supposed to be), but I'd be shocked if they sell. They will find some way to worm out of it because they all know they will all be fired tomorrow and every Dem politician in the land is calling them and telling them not to. So much for taking care of their shareholders. At 55 bucks a share it's a no brainer, but they won't let him buy it and enrich the actual owners of the company. I'd be shocked if they did.

    He then dumps all his shares tanking the stock and Twitter is immediately faced with a class action shareholder lawsuit.
    So they're in a pickle?

    Look how much easier it is for you if you're a billionaire that supports the Rats.

    "Democracy Dies in the Dark." Or under the weight of Billions of Bezos $$$$. You be the judge.

    It's great that Musk is doing this but it's sad that we're now reduced to needing a billionaire to buy Twitter so that we might hope to have open and free discussions.

    Fucking this.
