    You think? I think that for political reasons, the board will never sell to Musk. They'll use the shares' 2021 bubble prices as a smokescreen to claim the offer isn't good enough. Musk's only shot is to take effective control via a direct shareholder vote.

    He could have started another platform for what, like 10-20 MM? And let anybody who gets banned from Twitter to join.

    He is on his way to being a Trillionaire, he doesn't deal or think in millions anymore.

    I think he will up his bid. Says he has a plan B in this interview from today (30 minutes in)

  5. Yes, the "best and final offer" thing was a little obvious...

    Also the figure included 420 which is a bit of a joke.

    In that interview he says he likes the number 420 not just because of the cannabis reference, but also because it contains 42 from the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy which is his favourite book.

    At some point in his life, with his Asperger's, I am sure he has gupped. <---Read the book to find out what that means. :)

    He must have been a fan of the 1980s band Level 42.

    have you noticed that all the right wing freedom of speech oriented platforms start pissing off their users by moderating the posts? There’s a reason for it. With pure free speech the crackpots start trolling the sites and without the accountability it starts to go sideways real fast. Even trumps new platform is moderating content.

    Elon just wants *his* content to be unmoderated. He will happily block yours.
