The last few years have been a disaster for mankind. This is finally some good news.

He's backed the liberals on the Twitter board of directors into a corner. He's offering a premium on an already inflated stock. If the board, which is supposed to act as a fiduciary for the stock holders, turns it down, then Elon will pull out and the stock will tank.
Power move.
Power move.

If Elon is for free speech and freedom then why is he dealing with China?

Time to stop calling them liberals. They are some of the biggest obstacles to free speech on the planet. Nothing liberal about that even if that’s what they call themselves.

What’s going to be funnier is if they don’t sell to him, he tanks the stock, and then starts a rival version of Twitter.
Can they really stop him?

Question is, how would be we able to tell?

They won’t let him buy it
1) Twitter is worth more to the larger investors for control of free speech than it is for a profit
2) Elon isn’t offering enough. He’d have to blow them out with $65+ per share to convince them to sell. The $54 offer is a fake attempt for appealing to retail (I like Elon and I like his strategy here, but he knows buyouts need to be higher above the market price)
3) I don’t think he really wants to buy it outright. It would be too much of a drag on his time. I think he benefits far more from playing the threatening active investor here so he doesn’t have to invest nearly as much time, takes credit for good changes he thinks of, and no lost reputation for the failings of the company

Since Musk already has FU money then why is it so difficult for him to be consistent in his calls for freedom?

I think you’re right, buyouts typically need to be stronger. Kicker is, he’s holding 30%+ of the stock value hostage, if he sells, that value is gone.

Just so we’re clear, now you want businessmen/ celebrities to be involved in politics?
