In fairness muskrat said he wanted to buy it. Then he tried to back out and the old c suite said ok pay us the billions you owe us according to the letter of offer. muskrat said no. So the C suite took him to court and muskrat lost the case and had to buy it.

Serves him right too.

And then oh no twitter is t worth nearly what I bought!

I know!! I'll buy it with Tesla. That way Teslas profits will offset the twitter losses.

Oh no! Elon gets outed as a Nazi by doing a very public Nazi salute, and fucks up foreign aid and the federal government with a bunch of shit stain kids! And now Tesla isn't in any of the deals Elon wanted to get by playing politics, Now Teslas aren't doing well!

I know!! I'll buy Tesla with spaceX...

Elon musk is a human pyramid scheme. And 401ks are holding the bag on his eventual rug pull.

Wait until everyone finds out the kinds of theft he’s up to. There’s a reason why his face is all over those hacking scams.

The board has a fiduciary responsibility to the investors, so they were legally required to try to force Musk to make good on his offer.

But I think this is a good example of what's wrong with making everything about money. Who wants to sell their baby to somebody who will just slowly destroy it while using its death rattles to poison the entire world?

It’s not like he lost with that outcome?

Twitter has always been a shithole. Yes, it's worse now, but nothing of value was lost.

If I owned Twitter, I would sell it to a right wing but job, no hesitation. A shit platform will become a bit more shit and I get millions and get out of having to manage the shit show.....there's literally no downside.

As if Twitter wasn't a shithole even before he bought it. He arguably made it worse, but you can't ruin a turd.

oh you can ruin a turd

a turd is shit, but its solid, tidy and contained, low entropy, kinda neat

explosive diarrhea on the other hand

Wouldn't know. Never used it. DGAF.

It will always be "twitter", as far as I'm concerned.
