TheBizzness posted:Hopefully in 8-10 years I can eat some crow about it. Most of the lawyers I’ve seen talk about it don’t see it going on very long. They seem to think either Twitter is gonna get a pretty substantial payoff (way more than a billion) or musk is gonna be forced to buy Twitter at a slightly reduced price

Yeah the biggest thing is Delaware is specifically constructed to enforce these types of contracts. If they fail to do that without good cause corps will just relocate to places that will do that for them

Literally the only way he gets out is if Twitters execs just doesn’t want him to purchase it. Maybe they compromise and Elon has to pay a little less

pisshead posted:By the standards of the time they were incredibly progressive. The idea of even voting for whoever was in charge of the country instead of the divine right of kings was considered radical lefty nonsense. Never mind stuff like a written constitution, freedom of religion, separation of powers etc. But it just goes to show that whatever you do, someone in the future will consider you to be awful because you didn't manage to create a 21st century egalitarian utopia in the 18th century. None of this is particularly true, voting as it existed at the time was pretty old concept that ebbed and flowed as the times changed. American nationalist prefer to believe this though as everyone likes to feel special

Well that makes sense, prosperity gospel was just a rationalization added to the dominant morality. With its popularity waning you don’t want that perfectly good rationalization going away

What’s weird is he should have at least pretended to meet with Ukrainians. To look at least a little bit fair. You don’t even need to actually care, just pretend

How would exclusive celebrity content even work? Will he make deals with them to put out content? Why would they want to do that

Main Paineframe posted:think Patreon, but built directly into Twitter. so people would be able to be able to pay to "subscribe" to a celeb's tweets, and that celeb would be able to make certain tweets "subscribers-only" But you would need to get really big celebs for this to work which would make it not really worth it for them. Especially since I assume most would want a signing bonus up front

I think Musk just assumed his cult of personality would just smooth this over but most of the blue check marks he cared about don’t give a gently caress

I think he thinks if he gets enough people on twitter to agree with him online advertisers will change their mind? That didn’t work when he tried to wiggle out of the purchase itself so I don’t know why it would work now
