I think Musk’s offer is fairly safe. I can’t begin to think of how a corporation could sell a $43 billion dollar acquisition to investors, based on keeping the current, failing business model as is.

In the name of stifling free speech. What is the matter with these people.This isn't about free speech. They're trying to keep crimes from being uncovered.

have his “straw men” jump in and buy up all the discount stock
the way the article reads, the new "discount" stcok will only be available to existing investors
so basically, the Twitter Board wants to turn their ownership into an exclusive country club that keeps out the political riff-raff
boy, they must have a lot of bad secrets that need to be kept hidden ... like the conservative-discrimination algorithms, and who knows what else ...

Who knew actual free speech was such a threat!!!

“I hope Twitter tries to fight, loses the fight, Musk gets in, and then Musk runs forensic accounting.”
All they have to do s run out the clock. Once the midterms are over, they will change their minds and take the money.

To bad the left couldn’t have fought that hard to keep manufacturing companies in the US open!! Well, real people doing real work is pretty far outside the lib wheelhouse (and interests, AND agenda), as opposed to the Ministry of Truth and Allowed Thought.

Its possible this is directed at Trump. They’re hoping to last long enough to see him depart the national scene.
Like our RINO betters they think things then will get back to “normal”.

Wasn’t that what Truth Social was supposed to be?????????????
To: circlecity
Yes. I assume the board thinks that the other shareholders want to keep Musk out so badly they don’t care.

I believe that Musk will sell his stock which will lower the share price dramatically. Then he will repurchase at a lower price. I wish he would do this with precious metals.

The key to opposing the poison pill is whether it goes against the fiduciary responsibility of the board to the shareholders and that argument may hinge on opposition to the clause that would allow shares to be bought “at a discount”, as a means to thwart an investor/investors obtaining more than 15% of Twitter shares. That discount - not a market derived value - would inappropriately allow some board-favored “investors” to obtain shares “on the cheap”, achieving shares valued at more than what everyone else might have paid for the same shares on the open market. It also means shares would be sold, at that discount, meaning less than market value, which, once executed could diminish Twiiter share values in the open market.

Musk should start his own competitor to Twitter.
Call it BIG BIRD and use an eagle for a logo!

Unlikely that Musk will win. Some liberal oligarchs will step in to save it.
