Elon Musk Offers To Buy Twitter Outright for 43 Billion!

You are so misguided. No, the left is not against an even playing field. It's just another medium.

This suspiciously anticipated platform is what artists are waiting for. Too bad there is very, and I mean very, little creativity on the right to use it to their advantage.

It will start getting interesting when someone finally gets up the gumption to bring up whether refusing to consider the buyout is in the best interests of the stock holders of a publicly traded company. Which Musk could easily do as a share holder (largest personal holder at that). It would not take too much effort to cajole a few others to join him in that endeavor either.

Obviously, Twatter will have to issue him a 1099 at the end of the year for living rent-free in their heads. Kinda like the TDS crowd of dumpster fires we have around here.

I can imagine that the current leadership of Twitter is looking out over a graveyard of evidence. Evidence of criminal wrongdoing, sedition, lies, and hypocrisy. If Musk gets that...well, a lot of people have some splainin to do.

SNL’s Michael Che and Colin Jost Brutally Roast Elon Musk

https://www.yahoo.com/news/snl-micha...045434810.html


Less than a year ago, Elon Musk was hosting Saturday Night Live. Now he’s its biggest punchline.


“Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter for over $40 billion so he can loosen its free speech rules,” Michael Che said this week, before adding, “That’s how badly white guys want to use the ‘N-word.’”


For the next few minutes, the “Weekend Update” anchors tore into the richest man on the planet for his bizarre plot to take over Twitter.

Honestly, I don’t understand why Elon even wants to own Twitter,” Colin Jost said. “It used to be something that seemed important and even fun and now you look at it and it’s confusing and depressing. It’s the Giuliani of apps.”


“And come on, Elon built electric cars, he’s going to Mars, why is he even involving himself with Twitter?” Jost continued. “It would be like if the Prince of England gave it all up just to marry an actor from Suits. Plus, Twitter isn’t even that profitable anymore. It just feels like a bad business decision. And I say that as someone who bought a Staten Island Ferry with Pete [Davidson].”


Elsewhere in the segment, Jost and Che seemed to take a bit of a break from going after Donald Trump and the Republicans to take some shots at Joe Biden, who recently received the lowest approval rating of his presidency at 33 percent. Or, as Jost pointed out, “less than half” of Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.


Later, Jost drew groans from the studio audience when he made a joke about a video that went viral of Biden appearing to shake hands with an invisible person. “Hey, her name is Kamala,” he said. Taken aback by the response, Jost then ad-libbed, “When’s the last time you saw her?”

Seems even one former employee and current board member seems to side a bit with Musk. Might make for an interesting proxy fight dance partner. I suspect he still owns more than a handful of shares and if the poison pill works as described, their shares would double. Though it remains to be sen if they can actually implement a poison pill as described to exclude only one shareholder.

Jack Dorsey rips Twitter’s board, says it has ‘consistently been the dysfunction of the company’
“Are you allowed to say this?” one user tweeted. “No,” Dorsey replied

Twitter cofounder and short-time board member Jack Dorsey called out his social media platform’s board on Saturday, saying “it’s consistently been the dysfunction of the company.”

“If [sic] look into the history of [the] Twitter board, it’s intriguing as I was a witness on its early beginnings, mired in plots and coups, and particularly amongst Twitter’s founding members. I wish if [sic] it could be made into a Hollywood thriller one day,” one user tweeted.

“It’s consistently been the dysfunction of the company,” Dorsey replied....

Twitters board is racist. They’re blocking an African American from buying them.

Are you talking about the Vice President in my gallery? Or this one:





Do you think Elon would allow it?

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means
