I think Trump would return to twitter too.

The downside to forming a new social media platform is that it can take years and years to make it successful. Look at all the hard work Andrew Torba puts into GAB.com. It’s a really good platform too but doesn’t have the same success twatter does.

It’s faster and more efficient to make an established social media company better than start a new one. Of course the woke left, the CIA, and radical hard core cancel culture left doesn’t want their bathwater messed with. It’s at the temperature they like right now.

a “hostile takeover”

Seems rather fitting, in an ironic sort of way.

I wish him well and hope he succeeds at this endeavor.

The following is from Barron’s and lists the stock holdings/value of Twitter’s board members, confirming Musk’s remark that outside Dorsey, they hardly hold any stock at all. Seems they are “invested” in the $250,000 to $300,000 they make annually as board members, a part-time gig.

Musk has promised to pay them NOTHING if he becomes the boss, so how can any of them credibly make decisions that benefit shareholders when STAYING ON THE BOARD, AS IS, IS SO MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL TO THEMSELVES?

Jack Dorsey 18,042.4K/$847,993
Omid Kordestani 934.2K/$ 43,907
Parag Agrawal (CEO) 507.5K/$ 23,853
David Rosenblatt 109.8K/$ 5,161
Bret Taylor (Chair) 56.6K/$ 2,660
Martha Lane Fox 32.5K/$ 1,528
Patrick Pichette 24.8K/$ 1,166
Robert Zoellick 21.5K/$ 1,011
Egon Durban 15.0K/$ 705
Fei-Fei Li 10.7K/$ 503
Mimi Alemayehou. 3.7/$ 174

Directors are granted $225,000 of restricted stock units, plus at least $50,000 in cash, annually.
