Sounds like the offer is predicated on adjournment of the trial and pending financing. What kind of collateral will Twitter want to agree to this is the question probably so they're not back here in a few months.
Elon could polish twitter for a few months, raise its share price through his shenanigans and then try to sell it off to his other billionaire friends. Or Saudis. Or China.

I'm curious to see how this plays out. Is he going to make it his own personal forum to just constantly bash the SEC or anyone who points out when he's on the wrong side of the fence about something. He's just another rich guy who's lost touch with reality and thinks he's above the law.
What if Elon tries to run for President after the Twitter acquisition?
If he was running against Trump...well...What if Elon tries to run for President after the Twitter acquisition?

Offer is pending financing? Wasn't Musk's original offer a straight cash deal? Twitter would be crazy to derail the trial schedule to accept a wishy-washy offer.
Since the summer when Elon tried to back out, the brain drain from Twitter had begun. The reality is that SF progressive types do not want to work for that GOP-voting narcissist. Twitter is a successful and useful service, but it's never had a strong business model. This problem exists for many other "social networks" such as Snap or Pinterest, for example. Only a small few are wildly profitable by monetizing copious user data: FB, YouTube, TikTok.Elon could polish twitter for a few months, raise its share price through his shenanigans and then try to sell it off to his other billionaire friends.

IIRC when the deal was originally announced, Elon was going to have an I-bank sell bonds to help finance the transaction. Later, after his billionaire bros ponied up cold cash (see recent text dumps), Elon pivoted to more of an all-cash deal where Elon was going to pony up more of his personal wealth, in conjunction with other oligarchs' money.Offer is pending financing?

ATOT, we can write complete sentences.Whats the best alternative?
There's a good chance this will hurt him quite a bit financially. Which is great. Most of Twitter's best talent has left because they don't want to work for a shit head like him. Odds are he ruins the platform.Awesome news... I think. Hard to know for sure what will happen. He can be a bit of a loose cannon lol.
Yeah buts its dumb and wrong.The OP's point was that Tesla/SpaceX are only still afloat due to large infusions of govt. subsidies. Something that absolutely won't happen at Twitter.
The brainwashing is strong in this one.If he gets time from fooling around with his baby factories and commits himself fully to Twitter like he did with his previous success stories, I think he will do something newsworthy and even, worthy of further cementing his name in history.
It's not just that, it's that the reason Twitter moderates is because its customers want moderation. Twitter was initially super reluctant to do that and only did it after public outcry and complaints by the users!
I think Musk is in a bubble and thinks what he and his tech bro friends want is what the rest of America secretly wants and it's just not.
Yeah, I wouldn't be dropping the trail until the check hit my account.Sounds like the offer is predicated on adjournment of the trial and pending financing. What kind of collateral will Twitter want to agree to this is the question probably so they're not back here in a few months.
The day the creator of the Matrix franchise tells you to fuck off touching her IP cause you suck.... is sad nerd day.Dude this. If there is any lesson to be learned from Facebook's demise, it's that mainstream consumers don't like unchecked political polarization. Big shocker to no one.. except to the polarized tech elites.
Yeah buts its dumb and wrong.
Commercial contracting via space-x has saved the US Tax payer 10's of billions. But people with agendas call that a subsidy.
if spacex didn't exist how much would that change NASA's launch requirements, answer 0
if spacex didn't exist how much would that change USAF launch requirements , answer 0
if spacex didn't exist how much would that change CIA/NSA/NRO launch requirements , answer 0
people can GTFO
attack Musk for the dumb things he does , but trying to "devalue" everything he does just makes you look like an arse. aka play the ball not the person.
