You never know - it might get worse after this! One can’t assume that old Squealin’ Elon has our best interests at heart, or cares about “freedom of speech.” It’s easy to lie when you’re hella rich. But we’ll see. (I just put a pic of me on my twatter account to sort of test the water. I’m supposedly “perma banned.”)
You want to change a business culture, you start at the top.
Nothing says "new sheriff in town" quite like executing the old one. A head on a pike is a powerful example for others.
Exactly! I closed my account when they banned Trump. Don't miss it except for James Woods. Love his tweets.
If you watch and listen to musk, he is not a deep state liberal plant. He has been warning about censorship and the danger of out of control AI for years.
Yep, the ultra rich are still somewhat resistant to cia and government control.
What happened to the poison pill that was supposed to prevent the take over by Musk.
Musk threatened them with lawsuits if they did that and he would win, because they would be abandoning their fiduciary duties to the stockholders....................
“Generally if the media starts pumping something it’s time to short”
i don’t see any “media pumping” here, merely reporting that the stock price jumped 5%, because buyers apparently believe a buyout deal at $54/share has become more likely based on recent publicly documented financing details and anonymously sourced information that a deal may be forthcoming ...
“What happened to the poison pill that was supposed to prevent the take over by Musk.”
the board can simply nuke it with a vote the same way they established it: easy come,easy go ... no doubt abolishment of the poison pill would just be one more part of the board accepting the deal ...
“I was just talking to one of the executive producers of a TV show and he told me he owns more shares of Twitter than most of the board combined or “close”. They are just figureheads and all lefties.”
Thanks for posting this reality.
Makes one wonder how many WOKE corporations are like this shell game/Twitter re board members?
Thanks for posting this reality. Makes one wonder how many levels below the soon to be former board will lose their heads/er jobs in the near future.
“It would almost be organizational malpractice if he DIDN’T fire him.

This is increasingly likely given that, as we are learning, the board isn't active on Twitter and might be insecure about being out of touch with Twitter itself and out of touch with what the shareholders want.
Keep in mind that Twitter is mostly owned by large institutions (70%+/-) and his adviser on this matter, Morgan Stanley, can easily get a sense of what such shareholders think of the Musk offer and relate that to the Twitter board.
He liked 0bama. But I am hopeful. If you go on twatter, you can tell it’s changing. They still haven’t unblocked Trumpy.
Honestly, if Trump isn't unblocked asap, then there's a problem. Whether he decides to post or not is another thing, but he should be unblocked, today.
I take pains to vote my shareholder proxies every year. I read the bios, look at the pictures, and wind up voting for the old white guys only. They usually know how to handle money.
Sounds like a fairly logical way to vote, better than many other B$’s.
Yes - the shareholders could have sued the Board.
I would be they heard from just a few of them and knew the party was over.
