    Twitter set to accept Musk's $43 billion offer

    Twitter set to accept Musk'''s $43 billion offer | Reuters

    NEW YORK, April 25 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) is poised to agree a sale to Elon Musk for around $43 billion in cash, the price the CEO of Tesla has called his "best and final" offer for the social media company, people familiar with the matter said.

    Twitter may announce the $54.20-per-share deal later on Monday once its board has met to recommend the transaction to Twitter shareholders, the sources said, adding it was still possible the deal could collapse at the last minute.

    I personally think elon musk is the biggest fraud in modern history. He is a doughy narcistic fruitcake. None of his companies have ever made real profits. They are designed to harvest tax credits from the govt and pump stock prices.

    Seriously? You are comparing a minor league bandwagon jumper, with the Worlds richest man?

    Its a bit like you claiming that Russia is fully justified for the illegal invasion of another country. Laughable.

    With both the name and format of Twitter, it is clearly designed to cater for all types- 'fuckfaces' included. I for one don't want some fuckface deciding for me what other fuckfaces can and cannot tweet, and therefore what I can and cannot decide to read.

    Uncannily similar to your attitude to voting in Oz elections. You are surely not alone in being ineffective elswhere in the interwebs.

    Tbh I think it makes good sense for him, because most of his outlandish fortune is based on hot air- be it Space-X or Tesla etc they are very optimistically priced, and potentially quite vulnerable. So why not diversify? Remains to be seen whether he is true to his word, and not just another approved internet gatekeeper. Makes sense for him either way.

    Is that how it works in Russia and China?

    The fuckface you don’t want in control is now ‘your’ fuckface. I happily admit that I can’t keep pace with your changes of face/loyalty. What a joke you have become.

    No, they have quite controlled media (d'uhhh). Those that want to get around it use VPN, Tor and suchlike. Don't see why we should copy them though.

    You are in no place to judge anyone on this forum. You post falsehoods and propaganda on this form relentlessly. When called out on it, you make a comment like the one quoted above and attempt to claim the high ground. It has become a cyclical pattern with you.

    So is every person who calls you out for the shit you post a loser? Looks like it would be a long list.

    Again, are you that thick you think Putin or Mr. Shithole aren't inspecting VPN traffic?

    I have no idea why Elon Musk is acquiring Twitter. I also don't know how it is financed. Seems much of the money does not come out of his pocket.

    But his companies dont make profits? Tesla has made profits for years now, every single quarter.

    SpaceX does not. They could easily make profits. His Falcon line of rockets makes huge profits unlike any other launch provider. But they pour huge amounts of money into expansion and research.

    Elon musk is literally a securities fraudster. But I don't expect you to know that.

    Yep. It does make sense.

    And it got his name all over the headlines again which will help pump more air into his ponzies.

    What Russia doesn't do is put fringe Youtubers on internal no-fly lists. Controversial right-wing provocateur Nick Fuentes reportedly placed on '''no-fly list''' | The Post Millennial

    Same sentiment from me Norts. Elon Musk BELIEVES he can have a social platform that cannot and will not be governed because he owns it. He is wrong and a fool. Wait until some whack job starts to solicit people to do stupid shit and they do it. That isn't freedom of speech. Many people have lost what the spirit of Freedom of Speech really means. So now Twatter will become a social platform of loons ranting at the world and there is always an audience of lost souls looking to follow anyone and believe everything they read........
