And now Twitter goes back to a liberal cesspool.

That’s actually not far from the truth and most would agree with that assessment. He definitely still wants it and for cheaper than he first offered (which at the time people thought was too low to be viable 
)

When did it stop being one?

Have always thought something like this was possible. Never thought the deal would go through.
Maybe it was ego, maybe it was to frick with the SEC, maybe it was to frick with Twitter. Dude probably just gets bored and trolls like the rest of us.

What’s funny is that Twitter wants it to happen now more than ever. His offer was the only thing helping it hold value. It’s going to tank if he is allowed to walk away.

He offered too much because their ad revenue, user base and valuation is based on fraudulent bot activity.

The board stands to make a serious amount of money if the sale goes through. Much more than their salary.
They don't give a frick about walking away from twitter.

The shareholders voted for it as well. They were getting a pretty good premium on the current price although some may have bought it well above the $54.20/share offer.

We really need an insta-perma-ban on any and all analogies. This board hasn't proven to be intelligent enough to hold that sort of responsibility.

You mean like a zero tolerance policy?

We'd have to shut down the whole poliboard if those stipulations were used across the site.

At least myspace bots were prostitutes.

Elon live with Twitter employees and their stock options:

The roof analogy is beyond stupid. A better one would be Musk thought he was sticking his dick in a big bowl of pudding but it turned out to be a bowl of shite with a pudding shell. He thought he was getting pure pudding but it was a facade

I think Elon did all this mostly to frick with them, I enjoyed it immensely. Especially exposing them as a huge government propagandist, the fake accounts and forcing a conversation about the suppression of conservative voices.
He still got things done.

That walk away money, if he has to actually pay it, doesn’t mean shite to him. Not only that, the valuation will drop to half of what it is, so 1B now means nothing on the billions he will save when he buys it later

Twitter Employee: “He’s fricking destroyed the company!”
quote:
A Twitter employee told NBC News Friday Elon Musk “destroyed” the company after it was announced he will attempt to back out of a deal to acquire the platform for $44 billion.
The person, who spoke anonymously, said there was a sense of “victory” felt, but that it came at a cost.
“I guess it feels like we won,” the person reportedly said. “But it feels like the end of the movie, where the characters are bloodied and bedraggled with a Michael Bay explosion behind them. We could see this was coming, but in the meantime he’s fricking destroyed the company.”
While Musk has undoubtedly disrupted Twitter’s corporate culture over the last three months, the company’s board arguably shares equal blame.

Destroyed the company. This idiot below doesn’t know what’s coming. You won? Is that why twitter is suing for the right to lose?

A legal battle is likely on the horizon as Twitter will seek to force the Tesla CEO to abide by the agreement.
Bret Taylor, the chair of Twitter’s board, vowed to fight Musk in court to ensure the deal goes through in a Friday evening tweet
