Twitter: "We're not letting Elon buy Twitter".

Elon: "Okay, how's $44 billion"?

Twitter: "Okay, lets make a deal for you to buy Twitter".

I have no idea how publicly traded companies work

The trick here is that the poison pill was a negotiating tactic. It meant that Musk couldn't just buy up a ton of shares and suddenly have control (a hostile takeover). It did not mean that Twitter's board didn't want to consider Elon's deal. They just wanted to make him actually negotiate a price with them instead of letting him just brute force it.

Makes me wonder a tiny bit

Human society is coming to a conflux - climate change, information age, late stage capitalism, whatever you want to call it. Things are going to get dumber and weirder until the old social order falls away and something else replaces it; it happens every hundred years or so. There was some impossibly stupid and funny poo poo going on in the very late 1800s / early 1900s, which eventually culminated in world war and the overthrow of colonialism*. Is capitalism the next to collapse? who knows



*yes colonialism still exists, just like chattel slavery still exists in some forms. However society has changed and no longer thinks either things are cool & good.


EDIT to provide content - what do you think :chaostrump: first tweet will be? I really hope its something about haters and clout chasers punching the air in frustration now that Big Dadddy Twitter is back

Just because someone is a horrible piece of poo poo, that does not mean they're a villain. Good is just as bad as Evil but even worse because Good is encouraged to do all the horrible poo poo that Evil gets punished for.

There's no such thing as an evil person, just people with an actively harmful moral code that they insist on imposing on the rest of the world no matter how many "undesirables" have to die.

An evil person would be someone like Cobra Commander from GI Joe, a person who commits evil acts because they're fully aware their actions are evil and they love doing evil things just for the hell of it. No such person exists in real life because all humans think they're good people and their actions are good and they come up with moral justifications for them.

Don't forget Hitler's contributions to medicine.
I feel like it is going to be very important to remember that Elon has not purchased Twitter, Elon has made an offer to purchase Twitter and the board of Twitter has agreed to accept his offer. This is not a "Buy it now" price on eBay where he charged it to a credit card, I have a signed agreement to pay $57k for a car that doesn't literally does not exist in my backpack right now, for which I have not arranged financing for because no one know when/if it is going to be delivered. Elon does not have $44B dollars, this still, like everything Elon, has the potential to become spectacularly more stupid than any of us have the capacity to imagine at this point.

What if I told you I do actions that I know are bad and I do them knowing that and I don't justify them because there's nothing outside of an explosive ID style I just want to?

I'm evil, Snidely Whiplash tying girls to the train tracks style motherfucker. I bought a fake moustache just to twirl it. I kick over sandcastles to see the adults cry. I once keyed my own car.

Some people are fully aware that the things they do are wrong and they just don't care. Some of of those people consciously enjoy hurting people. They're called psychopaths and sadists and they exist. You've met people like this. Prisons are full of them. They might come up with excuses if they get caught doing something that they know is wrong but they don't bother with internal justifications.

i sincerely think this is all just a way to gather as much data as possible for whatever stupid project down the line. self-tunneling tunnels, perhaps.

also wonder if trump is going to actually stay on social media and pout like a bitch or just swallow his pride so he can tweet poo poo like "Democrats want to replace all your toilets with low-flow toilets. SAD!"
