#1 ...And some of the snowflakes at Twitter have already bailed, with the usual proclamations.

Popcorn, anyone?

#3 /\ Musk employs tens of thousands of people. I doubt Twitter replacements will be difficult to find.

#4 Musk is doing much more important stuff than messing with social media. I hope he has a trusted underling he can put in charge of cleaning up the public toilet that is Sh*tter.

While Elon Musk now controls 9.2% of Twitter. Twitter's top five shareholders as of Q3 2021 all together still control 31.02%.
They are:
Morgan Stanley,
Vanguard,
BlackRock,
State Street Corp.,
and Lone Pine Capital.
Collectively, the top five Twitter shareholders own just around 30.02% of the company.

So, IF say Morgan Stanley and Vanguard Group teamed up, or one of them and 2 others teamed up then they outvote Musk.

Plus there is the issue of who all owns the other 59.7%

QUESTION: Looking at the bigger picture.
It is interesting to note these Elite companies own a Media company associated with the Massive Censorship of free speech and supported/promoted Anti-Trump narratives in 2020.

#10 The headline is misleading; Musk bought the shares in twitter before he even conducted the poll.
