Spoken like a true Lefty.
He could tell them this:
Musk is buying the world’s biggest mouthpiece. The next question is whether he’ll actually change anything or will Twitter continue to censor conservative thought. I’m sure the libs working there will not even see the double-standard in their reviewing skills.
No doubt.
The Church Committee was a U.S. Senate select committee in 1975 that investigated abuses by the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Revenue Service.

CIA Director George Bush constantly blocked Church Committee member William Bader from obtaining necessary information on Operation Mockingbird or any of the CIA's ties to US domestic media organization. The Church Committee eventually published a whitewashed version of Mockingbird.Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Government Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities. - B. Covert Relationships With the United States Media pages 191-200 of the pdf, start at p 179 using printed page numbers (caution - 44Mb file)
Government has near total control of the public message. It just moves the pieces around and makes sure all its mouthpieces repeat the mantra "we are independent watchdogs." They aren't and the big ones never were. Headlines all the same is not a coincidence. It's evidence the message is controlled from the top.
“ My starting bid for CNN is a nickel.”
I tried to buy Time for a quarter but someone else beat me out with a dollar.
TWTR hasn’t changed much since the company went public, so Musk knew he’d have the Board between a rock and a hard place with an offer that would put them in jeopardy of fiduciary breach if they turned it down. Investors would be skeptical if they claimed the company could do better than Musk’s offer based on past performance. They are far more worried about getting entangled in litigation than they are about TWTR.
I'll double your offer - just so I can fire Stelter, Pooper, Lemonhead, Loobin' Toobin and the whole perveted lot while stopping the checks to Clapper and Brennan.
I'll keep the rights to use of the CNN logo and James Earl Jones' classic "This is CNN". Maybe offer people tomatoes to throw at the logo for 25 cents a pop.
That’s OK. I’d put that fat boy Stelter in a clown suit on the sidewalk outside holding a sign “ I’m a buffoon, kick me!”
I’ll probably start using twitter again (for about a week and then get bored with it)’. I’m trying to cut back on my pointless internet arguments and juvenile trolling so I never used twitter that much anyway
There’s no reason for regulatory concerns. Musk has no competing holdings and there is no restriction of competition or creation of monopolistic concentration.
He also has a proven track record and blue-chip financing lined up from every major investment bank other than then two that are advising Twitter, not that this is anything SEC cares about.
Oh, I thought a nickel was what CNN had to pay...
Still a good deal for CNN though.
I’d make them pay me much more to take it off their hands.
Agree with the firings of all the woke fact checkers and censors and other petty millennial tyrants.
Musk will win in the end. He’s a winner, not a loser.
Too bad he can’t run for POTUS.
Google=CIA or so I’ve read on the interwebs and considering what google does, collect massive amounts of data on people, I wouldn’t doubt it. Same has been said of facebook who has a similar but more personal purpose.
I think twitter was just a well timed concept. I can hear the conversation now:
Nerd 1: People’s attention span is so bad these days that they can’t even write more than a few sentences on a subject.
Nerd 2: Hey, let’s start a platform where you’re only allowed to write a few sentences.
500 employees left by morning?
Good points. We’ll see. The Left doesn’t like to be challenged when it comes to controlling the narrative.
I wouldn't give two cents. Not with all their liabilities like the Sandman payout and being on the hook for 9 million for Chrissy Wallace's contract that will give you a return of -9million.
Once Musk disclosed that the Board had few shares and interests weren’t aligned with shareholders they had no choice but to accept and recommend.
Twitter reportedly nearing deal to sell itself to Elon Musk
(CNN)Twitter is said to be nearing a deal to sell itself to Elon Musk, according to The New York Times and other outlets, 11 days after the Tesla and SpaceX CEO shocked the industry by offering to buy the company in a deal valuing it at more than $41 billion.
A deal could be finalized as soon as Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. Twitter declined to comment on the reports.
Reports that a deal is imminent come after Musk revealed last week he had lined up $46.5 billion in financing to acquire the company. Twitter’s board met Sunday to evaluate Musk’s offer to buy all the shares of the company he does not currently own for $54.20 a piece, a source familiar with the deal confirmed to CNN. The source said that discussions about Musk’s bid have turned serious.
The potential sale agreement caps off a whirlwind news cycle that began less than a month ago, when Musk revealed he had taken a more than 9% stake in the company and ramped up calls for changes to the social media platform.

well, at least it’s trending #1 on tweater
Why not? An indonesian did, and won..or is he african? or malaysian?
—” it will only be a matter of time before Biden declares it a monopoly and tries to break it up.”
slow joe does everything his masters tell him against Musk.
Also, notice, that there are about one-third fewer labor hours in an EV than with an ICE.
And Tesla may be approaching 50% fewer hours by casting major sub-assemblies.
