Musk's Twitter Purchase Fails After 138,000 Board Votes Found Overnight

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Elon Musk’s bid to purchase Twitter came up short after 138,000 board votes were found at 2 a.m., a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday. Musk had been in talks to purchase the company for $44 billion.

“We really thought Musk was going to pull this one out,” said Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal. “The yes votes had a strong lead when I went to bed last night, but that was before we counted all the mail-in votes that one of our employees found in locker 142 at the bus terminal.”

When the final votes were tallied, the takeover bid failed by a final tally of 10 votes for, 138,000 votes against. While the final result came as a shock to most observers, Agrawal said the election was fair. “Twitter takes election integrity very seriously,” he noted. “I can confidently say this was the most secure election in American history.”

LOL I was into the second paragraph and read “Mail in votes” before I looked to see if it was the Bee.

Were they right next to the Biden mail-in ballots?

I was two sentences deep, swallowing it hook, line and sinker, until I saw that it was the Bee.

I love the Babylon Bee. But often they are eerily close to truth.

This is one account that Musk definitely wants back on Twitter. He wants this account back so much he spent $44B to make it happen...
