Congress would need to stop it.


A Republican Congress might (depending on how many Assistants were active), but a Democrat Congress would double down.

Don’t worry communists, if you lose Twitter you’ll still have:

CNN, MSNBC, the NY Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, Politico, NPR, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, YouTube, Google, Facebook, the FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD, CDC, USA Today, Bloomberg, Time Magazine, Hollywood and academia.

RE: Monica, how could he “stumble upon” it when it’s the main focus of his buyout offer and right out in the open for all to see?

SEE POST #8 ABOVE.

Between the buyout rebuff and the sudden “investigation,” Musk revealed that there are probably skeletons that have Twitter and FedGov fingerprints on them.

Musk recognizes and talks about things way ahead of the curve. He rambles a lot but his warnings about the future dangers of Artificial Intelligence really can make you think. He is brilliant and like most brilliant people, there is a little nuttiness mixed in.

Elon Musk doesn’t “stumble” onto anything.

He knows exactly what he is doing. A person such as Musk doesn’t engage with with these levels of lawyers and the SEC without knowing what is happening.

Your on target remarks are why the elite liberals are so upset with Musk!:

Absolutely, the government as a proxy for BlackRock in this case. The real controller of government is BlackRock, who also owns controlling interest of Vanguard. And Vanguard just picked up most shares in Twitter over Musk.

This has all exposed Twitter for the Globalist propaganda machine it really is. You can bet it is the same with Facebook, Google, Microsoft, AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, and others.

I think the biggest risk to all social media, if Elon takes Twitter, is he will have access to the censoring algorithms they were using and publish them publicly for all the world to see the biases coded therein. Google, particularly, who always lies to Congress about their biased search algorithms will have big exposure.

Twitter seems to sell customer metadata to select governments and commercial and political entities. Thus, Saudi Arabia, China, and other nogoodniks can find out who follows dissidents and critics or political partisans or commercial products.

Well, to be the FIRST, I think it is marvelous for an African American to have the honor of such wealth.

Elon Musk can probably expose how Twitter deliberately assisted in rigging the 2020 presidential election. <<

lol..if he could he'd be banned and “Fact checked” as a threat to DEMOCRACY...Didn't you get the memo?

Twitter is being sued by a Sports Illustrated model named Genevieve Morton whose nude calendar photos were sold by Twitter to a XXX site. Turns out twitter sells your image naked or not to anyone to be used by the buyer in their ads.

I don’t know the rules but could Musk dump his shares driving down the Twit price even more then offer to buy again at his original price which would be significantly higher per share than it was before?

I don't know the answer to that, but I'm sure that Musk didn't become the richest dude on the planet without plan B-C-D-etc.

If push comes to shove, I'll line up with Musk.

It will be fun to watch.
