Chuds are freaking out about Elong’s choice of costume:

If you’re not sure what his costume is, nobody is really. The actual item is a $7500 set of “Devil’s Champion Leather Armor”.

I’m also gonna say it. $7500 is not enough money for Elon to spend on a Halloween costume. It’d be like me spending 7.5 cents on a costume, or something.

He doesn’t pay they give it to him for free for publicity

The Twitter board would not let him on the board without a background check which musk refused to do. There was probably a drug test too

So to spite the board he agreed to buy Twitter and destroy it . That’s what he’s doing

He spited them buy they getting an amazing valuation for the company and providing an extraordinary shareholder return?

From elons pov yes

Elon soon realized this was a crazy and tried to back out of the deal . He kept going with that until his deposition was about to happen and then he finally chickened out and agreed to what he agreed to do in a manic phase to keep from getting deposed

I really think the idea that Elon is tanking Twitter on purpose is giving him an undue amount of credit.

I think it’s a fair inference from the tweets that were released in discovery

Can someone explain how this isn't the exact thing that Chuds always bitch about, a company openly being partisan in an election?

Also serious question: is Musk a citizen of the US? Can he even vote?

Yea he’s a citizen

In general, companies like Disney, Nike or the NFL do not like when people can make screenshots of their ads served under a twitt that goes like

"the doars at ausschwitz were made out off wood, you poo poo lib think if Hitlar killed wanted to kill all the (((financiall elites))) he woukd have installed woodan doar? 😂😂🤭"

There are some exceptions, but, in general, as a rule of thumb, they don't like that

They don’t like it now . That’s not guaranteed to continue

It isnt legally possible for the blame to be pushed from the company entity to an employee

right?

right???

Depends

For example under Sarbanes Oxley (lol), certain employees could expose themselves to personal liability . There is personal liability under the clean water act as well for certain reporting. Or there was the last time I looked at it

How did Elon go from complaining about Twitter on Twitter, to legally having to buy it?


He bought a lot of shares with the goal of being on the board . 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
