I wonder how many of the musk lickers are just trolls deliberately egging him on to keep this dumpsterfire in freefall. I assume most are doing it unknowingly and unwillingly, making the world a better place by encouraging the big mollusk to discredit himself.

He literally made a magic suit of leather armor out of the skin/soul of his childhood love, and once dragged Doctor Strange down to hell to pick up his Mom's soul:  Doctor Doom is an overprivileged, overgrown manbaby... but like, he still makes Elmo look like the bitch-rear end he is.

Mozi posted:I'd imagine there are safeguards and they'd be exposing themselves to a lot of legal risk, but if they all suddenly develop amnesia and can't transfer any knowledge or work on anything that would be very unfortunate. There is probably one old salt with a long white beard that has been in both dev and it interchangeably. He both knows where the git servers and back ups are and has admin control on both (easier than farting around for an hour to call the right person!). That one person can probably write gently caress-it.sh which disables all protections and then cleans out all backups and archives.

The goal was to turn it from a “left wing” website (lol) to something more appealing to his white supremacist views. The Twitter board balked and demanded he pass background checks and probably a drug test (he would not pass he’s a major addict) . So then he got really pissed as the Twitter board and said he’d buy the whole company instead of doing the background checks. And In a manic phase : he did

Genericide posted:How did Elon go from complaining about Twitter on Twitter, to legally having to buy it? Former CEO Parag Agrawal texted Elon basically saying "you can say twitter is dying, but that doesn't help the company" and Elon got super pissed and fired back that he was just going to buy the company outright. Elon got super stoned and offered $54.20 a share, way higher than Twitter was at. When he sobered up he realized he hosed up but by then it was too late.

I still don’t get that part of it. A tweet is not a binding contract. At some point he signed a contract. Nobody told him it was a dumb idea as he was putting pen to paper?

The Twitter statement of claim is good reading, they were extremely careful to draft an entirely binding contract.

Genericide posted:How did Elon go from complaining about Twitter on Twitter, to legally having to buy it? He posted one of those tired pronoun jokes and grimes responded with "I know you don't have so much hate in your heart" that ultimately led to her leaving him and hooking up with Chelsea Manning. He got so mad about this he tweeted that he was going to buy Twitter at the funny weed number and then somehow @jack took notice and said yes, yes! Let's do it! Elon got his mediocre white male friends Justin roiland (Rick and morty) and roe Rogan to be part of his negotiation buddies, and presumably a terrible lawyer at some point, and he signs an airtight contract where Twitter is able to force him to purchase the company at a way overvalued US$44b or so or he pays a billion or two as contract termination damage. He realised the error and tried several times to get out where @parag knew he was making poo poo up, so Twitter brought him to court. The court discovery process came to the point where his text messages needed to be made public (leading to the Rogan / roiland texts being leaked) and to stop more from turning up he gave up and agreed to the purchase. He bought a sink to the HQ and then fired the c level team including @parag "for cause" when they all had golden parachute clauses in their employment contracts, so they probably are initiating or have initiated lawsuits against him now. He then fired the board making him sole director and presumably they also have golden parachute clauses too. He fired almost everyone else, killed remote working, and caused the legal, cyber security, privacy, compliance, communications, pr, advertising and other heads to quit. He continues tweeting throughout this whole thing. In essence, transphobia cost him us$44b and potentially his reputation.

The thing is when you tweet that you open yourself up to actual legal liability so twitter had him by the balls and could write a very lopsided contract because if he said he was just kidding he actually would have liability from the SEC again. He can't just tweet something like that without fileing something like this otherwise he is breaking the law. He literally went through this when he did his dumb rear end funding secured tweet and learned nothing from it. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000110465922045641/tm2212748d1_sc13da.htm

I think the billion was just if the financing fell through, it wasn't a choice between paying that or going through with the deal.

Read that document I linked, not only did he buy it at 38% over the value he bullied the board into accepting the deal lmaoquote:Musk proclaimed himself prepared to begin negotiations “immediately,” and confirmed he was “exploring whether to commence a tender offer.”

The billion was if there was an outside reason the deal could not close like if the us government determined he could not own twitter because xyz he would still be on the hook for a billion as a breakup fee. This is how bad the contract was for him. He had no choice to buy it funding or not the Delaware chancery court could have stripped him forcefully of his tesla shares to force closure of the deal. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/13/elon-musk-cant-just-walk-away-from-twitter-deal-by-paying-1-billion.html
