    Is he being forced to buy, which was your assertion?
    Given it was announced just days before the trial was set to start, yeah he was forced to buy it. They likely realized they had no legal way to back out.

    IANAL, but, here's the thing, this seems to be a brand new offer, so whatever they discussed before has no legal weight on this offer. So this one could have all sorts of crazy conditions.

    But with the way money's inflated this is a cheaper deal.

    It’s just fucking hilarious now. Shenanigans not working.

    Elon wants court to end litigation, because twitter wont accept the new buyout proposal of twitter dropping litigation so he can close the deal.

    Clearly twitter aren’t idiots. Their response:

    Judge didn't bite on Musk's play either. If he doesn't manage to complete the deal by the 28th, the trial proceeds. Judge explicitly noted that Twitter doesn't accept Musk's new terms that allowed him to get out of the purchase if he can't get financing.

    Elon is going to have to pay $44B to avoid a deposition.

    This.

    Notice how this latest offer came out after they released the text messages? I think he is realizing that he doesn’t want to put himself and some witnesses (his friends) through all this bullshit in the public eye and potentially get caught in a web of lies if they can’t get their stories straight. These billionaires value their private conversations/overall privacy and don’t want this BS out in the public square.

    Could be way off here but that’s how I am able to wrap my head around how this is playing out.

    The code will be revealed... At least to Elon. Magic pixie dust and unicorn horns be there.

    Apple News told me a new overlord is crowned.

    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    Can't wait for every media outlet to start reporting what Trump is tweeting again.

    Probably the right move but severance will be expensive.

    Not as expensive as inheriting a losing money business, and keeping the management structure that maintains the companies negative equity.

    Crazy price though. $10 Billion would probably buy CNN, not that anyone wants CNN.

    so apparently some folks are "quitting twitter" now that Elon has taken over. I don't get it. Has the user experience changed that quickly?

    People are cheering for the wrong eccentric billionaire to win.

    They happily support Bezos and Gates, yet hate on Musk.

    Buncha dummies.

    I mean, Elon Musk is a weirdo, an ego-maniac and probably a jerk. But so are most CEO's and billionaires. I don't use twitter, but that's because I hate the product, not anything to do with the executives themselves.

    Agreed on all of the above, but I feel like his motives are less sinister than the others and therefore am cheering for him to win the eccentric billionaire war.
