https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/20/elon-musk-breaks-silence-after-10-million-twitter-users-vote-for-him-to-step-downquote:Elon Musk has tweeted for the first time since more than 10 million people voted in favour of him stepping down as Twitter’s chief executive, saying that only paid Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to vote in future policy-related polls. So only people stupid enough to give Elon $8 a month will be allowed to vote in his dumb polls.

Musk introducing apartheid to his site is the least surprising thing ever. I do wonder who the Mandela of twitter will be. Probably Mark Hamill or Sam Neill because this bullshit isn't crazy enough yet.

MrQwerty posted:who's to say he's not being told off by his investors? PinheadSlim posted:Idk, could be that both are true. Fair point. He could have gotten told off and then gone "gently caress it", popped an adderall, and gone right back to Posting Through It because superficial validation from terminally online Nazis is more important to him than millions of dollars in debt to Putin and the House of Saud. Because him being dumb as all gently caress is not mutually exclusive with him being under bad actors' thumbs. Guess we'll find out which it was if a major scandal breaks on him in the coming months.

Can someone remind me, why did Musk sink $44b into buying twitter when it wasn't valued anywhere near that much in the first place? So much stupidity has happened in the last few weeks that I've lost the thread on where stupid decision alpha of this little saga originated.

It's funny that they whine about likes versus votes. But they don't talk about musts followed versus votes. If 6.8% of his followers voted no he would have won. So I would surmise that at least 50% of his followers are bots if not more

Because the stock price at the time was above $42, but he *really* wanted to make a 420 joke, so he offered $54.20 per share instead. Yes, that's the actual reason. e: speaking of which, that last poll was also posted at 4:20 pm Tamba fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Dec 20, 2022 |

Well it was at the top of an insane market wide rally and weed number. He likely wanted to offer 44.20/share but it went past that so being impatient he just tacked on $10 to keep the joke. I think it was a 22% premium, 10-15% is more typical for a buyout but it's always more. He paid $54.20/share.

I belive he overpaid as twitter board didn't really want to sell to him, but then he basically offer enough money it was basically impossible for the board not to accept (he also paid a bit more than a stupidly large amount as he want the price to include the weed number). The board also put in a clause that forced him actually go through with the deal or just pay a bunch of money anyway. Anyway Pretty much immediately after musk tried to get out of the deal. It was all just incredible amounts of stupidity and here we are today!

He also thought he was never going to have to actually buy it. He might have never had to if he didn't sign an ironclad contract that waived all due diligence. He was fighting tooth and nail to dip, but a court was about ready to start going into discovery on the matter so he went ahead with the buy.

I have to say, the fact that Elon sulked for hours after the poll HE HIMSELF FORMULATED AND POSTED finished with a result he didn’t like, only for him to furiously ignoring the implications of it while stating that actually now polls will only be legit for those with subscriptions….good heavens what a tool  I’m honestly flabbergasted at how stupid he is at this point. He seriously proclaim and do things without a second of forethought. He must think that every big corporation works like this. Like, I bet he thinks that McDonald’s acquired “I’m lovin’ it” as a slogan on a whim by the genius decision of Ronald himself, rather than the result of months of testing, lawyering and focus grouping by untold numbers of employees.

The board also put in a clause that forced him actually go through with the deal or just pay a bunch of money anyway. Yeah, basically as a publicly traded company at the time, the people running Twitter had a fiduciary duty to the investors to try and make them as much money as possible, and that included accepting deals like what Musk offered. If they had refused to accept the offer they would have faced some pretty stiff penalties, as well as likely being booted out by the board of directors and replaced with people who would accept such an offer. That was pretty much what people expected. What people didn't expect was that Musk was such a colossal dumbass, he'd forgo due diligence and basically sign a deal that was absolutely to Twitter's advantage with no way for him to cleanly back out. By the point where it became lawsuit time as Musk kept desperately flailing around for some kind of way out of the deal, it was pretty evident that it was going to end with him being forced to complete the purchase. And here we are today.

kw0134 posted:The way he structured the deal made it impossible to back out and it was an offer too good to pass up. He offered weed number plus no due diligence. The board pushed back to add a specific performance clause that he signed off on. He gave a giant premium and then locked himself in because the board (rightfully!) didn't trust him. It was all so stupid. I have a feeling the board expected him to gently caress off with that complain they'd double down and it's be forgotten. What really happened is Elon didn't read it and just signed it.

I love the fact that one of the creators of Rick And Morty was revealed in the texts to Musk being like "YEAH ELON BUY TWITTER OWN THE LIBZ!" and then when he did, Elmo stopped following him because Musk realized how bad he hosed up. I bet he's secretly blaming folks like Justin Roiland and Joe Rogan for "pushing him into this".
