Watching journalists lose their minds over Elon buying Twitter is hilarious.

[BlotRorschach]

Twitter deserves this terror. Get em, Elon.

[tombeacher]

If they reject the offer he should dump his shares

[garymcmillan]

Glad to see the good guys on attack for once. Evil wins when left alone.

[chriscarney]

I have never been on twitter and I am not on any social media platform. If freedom of discussion is promoted and "allowed" on Twitter if Elon buys it I am in.

"My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally."
Elon Corleone

reading Elon's offering comments, I note he didn't write pages and pages. It's about 10 sentences. Something to think about for anyone churning out fluffy corporate speak. Make your point. make it simply.

[FrankBullitt]

No, he said $3.00/month for a verified checkmark and some other features. Every free user would still be there and you wouldn't need a new burner account every 3 months due to getting suspended

[Bobbyfuckingaxelrod]

Musk is a business tactician and has both the power and prowess to pull this off easily lol

[andrewpm]

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. Take the offer, take your bonus checks, let Elon clean house, and allow the platform to transform. Or let the stock tank and allow Elon to find an alternate platform/partner and roll the dice on Twitter's fate. Gotta love it

[geekvinos]

"CHECK"... (your move Twitter).

Brilliant. Simple and Brilliant.

[grahamdougherty]

I stand with Elon Musk and all free speech people. If Elon Sells I will dump every dollar of my 401k and personal "whole market" purchases. In order to hurt Twitter even if I hurt myself in the process. We have to hold strong and execute with confidence and discipline. Without free speech none of this can exist.

[ironxide]

I’m glad he’s going to reform Twitter. And I agree Twitter c level management should be fired. No golden parachute

[karlanielsen]

I was only hoping he'd buy a controlling share, so this is so much better.

[iTuber]

I'd gladly pay for a bunch of stuff if it means the companies stop tracking me

[toostoned]

How many people would actually pay for twitter…

[danpszeniczny]

Too bad so many folks automatically demonize successful people. I always think wow, how did they do it? and secondly I think if they did it so can I. Or at least it can be done. Successful people are always an inspiration to me.

[SnoopEastwood]

I'll make a twitter if he buys it 🤣

[Kiddyyep]

Twitter could sell it. If they want Twitter go to next level with added infrastructure like Tesla and StarLink, and Elon's prowess, they know it's best for their shareholders.

[discocorco]

I would laugh my ass off if Elon dumps the stock instead.
