    Default Elon Musk buying Twitter

    So, Elon Musk has made an offer to buy 100% of Twitter, rather than just the ~10% that he owns now. He wants to turn it into a bastion of free speech. Predictably, the left is freaking out.

    I love it!

    This is gonna be awesome. The meltdown of the left is so entertaining.

    I wonder how the liberals will like people quoting "If you don't like it, get your own platform!" back to them.

    Ps. Predictions:

    Twitter won't sell "because reasons".
    Stock owners will sue because Twitter mismanaged the company by not selling.
    The suit won't go anywhere because it's a liberal cause.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    Musk: "Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy,"

    That's what I'm hoping for. In a hostile takeover, he won't have to agree to any namby-pamby conditions set by the board.

    It's funny (sad funny) to watch the libs lose their minds and call Elon Musk a right winger when he's pretty well entrenched as a Libertarian that likes to smoke weed and support the Constitution.

    Anyone notice the stock price he offered is $54.20 Coincidence?

    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    I don't think Twitter is worth 40 billion. I'd stay with Starlink, Spacex & Tesla. Put the money in lithium mining.

    When you're worth over $270 billion, it's no longer about making the best return on investment, it's about getting your message out.
