RIP Twitter

I suppose it wasn't a no-brainer for Twitter to drop the suit for a "better environment moving forward." LOL

Turns out suing on principle and/or to get the outcome you want sometimes makes more sense than trying to pacify a situation.

Well that’s really moot now isn’t it since the new guy can do whatever he wants can’t he?

So if the new CEO continues with the suit and wins who does Musk pay? Asking for another friend 😂

So odds of the Twitter suit against Musk going forward if the “new CEO” determines that is not in the best interests of the company? 😂

Of course, you are in here trying to declare victory. Nobody said the suit would continue after the sale. It's never really mattered to you what's actually said in these exchanges. You deal in BS.

The whole interaction started with you saying it makes sense for them to drop it. I disagreed. They didn't drop the suit and got the result they wanted. I was right and you are in here being a smartass.

This is why you are on ignore.

How many times have we heard the liberals say, "they're a private company, they can do anything they want" when referring to social media? So is TikTok going to be the new face of the democratic party?

Clown take. Musk already reinstated his intention to close the deal. To quote his legal team “Twitter won’t take yes for an answer”.

If Musk felt it was truly an abysmal business deal why not pay the $1B and lick your wounds and walk away? I’d bet good money he completed this deal because he thought it made good business sense and that’s it.

And now we’ve come full circle back to the wailing and gnashing of teeth when this whole deal was announced. And boy it sure looks like it really is a very bad thing for what was it 75% of the employees? Going from memory I don’t remember the specific quote.

I really doubt Musk makes any significant changes to the platform so I don't get why so many people are so butthurt.

It would be dumb as hell to shred a piece of property he paid $44B for. But I don’t think he pointed to massive staff cuts on a whim. So changes to the company? No I agree. Changes to staffing? Well thus far he’s followed thru I believe on everything he indicated he was gonna do? Admitted speculation on that part.

I would say that he changes the only liberal bias to a balanced left/right approach would be a major change?

If he does I think it will be down the road a ways.

The DOJ/SEC is going to stick a microscope so far up his ass he will need to walk the line for awhile.

I think the DOJ has bigger problems to worry about if the November elections change the balance of power like I expect.

I have no doubt about the staff reductions, I'd bet 75% of the twitter employees weren't needed in the first place. It's a good cost savings measure and will result in a bump in the stock price. I'm just doubting he'll make significant changes to the way twitter is moderated/censored/fact checked (whatever you call it) anytime soon.

Oh boy will they. Until there is an admin change I’d guess his legal team is going to have standing weekly meetings with the DOJ and the SEC

I agree with that. And yeah on your other DOJ/SEC speculation I am going to guess the not so veiled threats are going to ramp up dramatically.

But I mean after all if a large number of people are now unhappy with Twitter I guess they could just start their own social media app couldn’t they? Somebody outta call Yeezy and see what he wants for Parler? 😂

Meltdown as Elon Musk enters Twitter headquarters ahead of takeover: ‘Let that sink in!’

"Tech billionaire with very strong, eccentric and often half-baked views on politics, powered by enormous ego, is live-tweeting his takeover of this platform," Der Spiegel journalist Mathieu von Rohr wrote.

Nobody gives two sh1ts what a journalist from Der Spiegel thinks.

The meltdown is amusing. He is basically changing it from a propaganda platform to a free speech platform.
