it came across the wires over 5 hours ago. But I am sure you have special insider knowledge. How long were you in the rabbit hole before you decided to share with us? Tsk Tsk.

The prog filth were melting just because he posed on twitter; and they were worried Elon could break the censorship of their prog filth bubble.

OMB could post. OHNOES. Yet Biden destroys America and has evil dogs.

He's basically saying "this is the best offer you're going to get." I bet he buys the stock on the open market if they balk at his offer.

The old wisdom was “Don’t fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.”

The new wisdom will be “Don’t frick with someone rich enough to buy you out completely and not feel the pinch.”

Why is this being downvoted? Offering to buy a company out isn’t a hostile takeover.

A hostile takeover is when your offer gets rejected so you buy up enough shares on the market to force the acquisition anyway.

This is absolutely glorious. Twit board members all tight asses watching their world crumble and Musk could actually give 2 shites about it.
If they reject his offer and he decides to drop his investment the stock will tank.
If they take his offer and due to unknown market forces the stocks value goes to 0....he will have lost 1/3rd of 1% of his net worth.

He will still get up in the morning, grab a cigar, cup of coffee, his phone and go take a dump in the nicest shitter in the world.

I actually thought about buying like $500 worth. Plaintiffs lawyers would crawl all over this. As long as they have one named Shareholder, they can sue on behalf of all Shareholders. They’d get a big contingency fee. It’s almost like a class action. There’s a cottage industry of plaintiffs attorneys that challenge failed sales and sales that are approved by the board. In either case, they argue the board didn’t get enough value for the shareholders. It’s really just an extortion deal by plaintiffs attorneys. And it’s pretty gross. But, I’m not mad that Musk is putting the board in this lose/lose situation. I’ll welcome the plaintiffs attorneys circling this deal like vultures.
