    Twitter’s board of directors revealed in a Schedule 14A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it unanimously recommended that shareholders approve the transaction.

    The board said in a letter to shareholders, included in the filing, that it “determined that the merger agreement is advisable and the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Twitter and its stockholders. Twitter’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote ‘for’ the adoption of the merger agreement.”

    And lo, did lefty heads detonate. Verily, the great host found itself unable to contain its self-righteous indignation and impotent rage. So let it be written, so let it be done.

    Musk still has some unresolved issues...

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/21/elo...o-be-resolved-before-twitter-deal-closes.html

    It ain't over 'til it's over...

    As far as anybody's heads "detonating"?
    I would consider myself somewhat to the "Left" on the political spectrum.
    And, neither myself (or anyone that I know) even cares about the Musk/Twitter Deal.
    We have no control over it, so why worry?
    "Detonating"?::roflol::bored:
    Especially, over a rich guy with nothing better to do who is buying an internet cesspool.
    Let Musk have at it.
    Still, for people who do care, and are salivating at the prospect of a Mentally-Deranged Delusional Idiot (named Donald Trump) getting unbanned:
    They should ratchet back the "Joy" until all of the "i"s are dotted and "t"s crossed.

    You claim to not care yet you took such glee in the idea he wasn’t going to. And once again it would appear you are wrong and I have no doubt that bothers the hell outta you.

    don’t worry though, if he succeeds in his take over it will simply create a free and open platform for all, including you.

    As for other leftists it’s clear this infuriates them as they openly talk about it. They scream into thier computer screens, go on the news and yell about this some how being racist, and many at twitter have actually cried LOL.

    so yes, leftist heads are detonating everywhere.

    but if this goes through it’s a great change for America. Under free speech, the left loses .

    I am guessing you find value in Twitter or Elon Musk?

    If you don’t then that’s your inability to see the bigger picture and how the world is influenced.

    Elon Musk Is the Boss All Woke Losers Need. “Worse yet, according to the commie crowd, he’s a billionaire. In their fixed-pie world, that means he’s responsible for the fact that Jasmina is struggling to make ends meet after spending $150,000 to get a bachelor’s (PATRIARCHY) degree in Gender Queer Albino Panda Studies.”

    [​IMG]
    "The uproar among the opposition to Musk’s acquisition of the platform has all been centered on the fact that they won’t be able to shut up people they don’t like by arbitrarily screaming “BULLY!” or slapping “phobic” on the ends of words."

    America, where a person of enormous talent can beneficially impact the world.

    IF One Chooses to respond, common courtesy (if one has any aspiration of having their contribution acknowledged) would dictate that one address the entire post.
    As opposed to taking a single line out of context (and blowing it out of proportion).

    I really didn't care if you did or didn't respond.

    I just love deconstructing obviously false posts for the forum to see.

    It makes me smile.

    Your post made me smile again.

    Funny how Twitter is suddenly a cesspool the instant Musk stakes a takeover bid.

    Seems to me it's been a cesspool for the past decade and its only chance at becoming a non-cesspool is Musk.

    Heh... I wonder how much of it has to do with too many fake twitter accounts tanking their actual value.

    "Somewhat left"? Lol.

    What right leaning opinions do you think you have?

    Musk is not a savior, he's an opportunist exploiting his effect on share price for attention.

    Elon has several hurdles before he can buy and lawsuits from stockholders.

    Fake accounts didn't impact Twitter's value, Musk making a big (and often misleading) public noise about fake accounts did. It was almost as if he was trying to artificially push down the value of the company he was looking to buy.

    Elon Musk was a hero to these liberals just a calendar year ago. The second he criticized the Democrats, made a deal on Twitter and came forth as a new Republican, he was public enemy number 1. These people are so laughably partisan.

    I've never used Twitter. I can't figure how to get on. I also am afraid of using a program where I can basically end my quiet existence and maybe even go to jail because of one misplaced keystroke

    I wish Elon well but I honestly think he will be bitching about losing money in a year.
