#2 It isn't just the "twatter" offices. All of corporate media is sweating out the prospect of information flowing freely.

#3 The harder the left leans towards censorship the more I ask these two questions: What do they have to hide? Why should I trust anyone who is afraid of ideas?

#6 I foresee a sexual harrasment or me too thingy coming out of the blue. Some merc bitch suddenly remembers Musk's inappropriate advances or something, old pics, character assassination. These are the only tools the Left has against airtight good guys.

#7 Yeah, some unprovable sexual harassment claims and increased scrutiny from fedgov regulatory agencies over SpaceX expansion plans. With any luck, we will also get unpopular opinions from when Elon was 12.

#9 Twitter board is in a tough spot if they reject the bid. It's substantially above the market price, and they and the company may be subject to shareholder lawsuits if the reject and don't have a better alternative.

#10 Biggest shareholder, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, said they won't play at that price. That takes the board off the hook.

#12

The Biden/LSD DOJ will step in and stall the ownership using some legal tactic. Like placing EM under investigation for other stock-related transactions or something. Which will bar him from purchasing Twit until sometime after the Mid-Terms.

He is a white guy who lived in South Africa during apartheid, so he must be a raycist.

#14 Can almost hear the Function Keys getting loaded with Colonialist Troll Twits.

#15 I'd like to see him buy it and ban everyone.
Just burn it to the ground.
Yeah, he won't do that but i'd love to see it. Twitter is vile.
