Elon f*cks Twitter

The Court of Chancery. Sounds so medieval.

I'll look forward to seeing what kind of clusterfuck this legal battle turns into. I'm kind of split if I want Elon to become stuck owning Twitter though. On one hand, I know he'd hate it, but on the other, he'd probably ruin what little value it has.

Elon Musk proves he’s the wrong man to save the world

Elon Musk is trying to torpedo his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. It might also torpedo his reputation.

Apparently, the world's savior must first run Twitter.

Twitter tells employees not to tweet about Elon Musk deal

Usually good advice for ongoing legal matters.

Why does this make me laugh out loud.

Possibly the first time Musk has ever pulled out

I get to do it again!

Since they’re suing Musk, couldn’t they just boot him off Twitter?

Twitter's Board should ban Elon for life. That'll convince him to go through with the purchase just to show them. I really do believe he's that petty.

I agree. I don't think Elon is stupid, but I think it's probably really easy to get him to do stupid stuff by appealing to his emotions in that way. ...kind of like Steve Jobs.

I would not like to see Elon end up with Twitter. As bad as it may be right now, in terms of amplifying Russian bots and other nazi ideology, imo, it can only be worse with someone like him at the helm.

And cut off a channel for him to make a fool of himself?

Let him incriminate himself.

Elon’s Out - Bloomberg

It's a looooong piece. But worth it (if you're tied up in this topic to any degree).

Possibly the first time Musk has ever pulled out

So he finally came to the conclusion that Twitter has more male than female DNA in it... or something like that.

I figured a renaming of the thread was in order, to something I didn't need to change a 4th time...

It's awfully hard to get inside the mind of such a weird, rich lunatic... I still think he likely wanted to buy twitter on impulse then realized this was a terrible idea and is trying to lead people into believing it's all part of the plan.... I'm not sure he got anything out of this that was really worth it, but I'm also not a mind reader...

He got attention.

He got my attention. I never thought much about him one way or another before this debacle. Now I think he's an idiot.

He was shocked, shocked that there were Russian Bots and other fake accounts on Twitter.
