Just because he spent $44 billion doesn't mean the chunk he purchased is worth $44 billion. From what I understand he offered to buy it for that much basically as a joke, and Twitter/Jack essentially had to sue him/make legal threats to make him go through with it.

Sorry if that was a retarded question. It's wild to me you can spend $44 billion dollars on something and not fully own it, especially a website like Twitter.

I do find it interesting he was legally obligated to go through with it. Twitter must not have been as valuable to the feds as people here keep thinking it was, or else they would have found a way to keep it out of his control.

If I'm reading this situation with Elon quitting right, this might've been option B. Someone (be it Saudis/Qatar or the elite in the US/EU) told Elon something very damning to his business prospects, and Elon knows he doesn't have any option but to step down. This is the method they permitted him to use to satisfy his ego (there is a 0% chance the poll shows him staying).

Hell, this whole thing might've been a convoluted scheme to fuck over Elon (since the elite aren't a unified cabal after all). Trick him into buying Twitter, including using legal action, and once he's saddled with it, don't even let him run it so he's lost billions and billions and gained a reputation as an incompetent Naziracistwhitesupremacist.

Or maybe I'm wrong and this whole thing is an elaborate prank. I hope it's the latter because Elon Twitter is hilarious.

I can hear Donald Trump now:

"Elon Musk made a terrible purchase of Twitter, terrible, but has exposed the swamp monster's dirty secrets. Now that Elon has stepped down and allowed (insert x) to become CEO. A monumental disaster (or if it is the Kush) he will do well at Twitter, however, it is still filled with swamp monsters. Here at Truth Social--" Etc. Etc.

What kind of cope is this? This shit is very straightforward:

-He's a retard who was lucky to always had been rich and who bought shit others made
-He's a weirdo elitist rich kid so he's narcisistic to the extreme but, at the same time, is completely unable to behave like and relate to actual human beings, so his whole personality is reddit meets 9gag
-Went through Right Wing Radicalisation Conditioning (divorce) so he not only became even more of a fucking retard, he also started getting high on his own supply and thought he really was the shit and some kind of anti woke crusader, spurred by all the divorced dads and q-moms on twitter. Nobody who matters gave a single shit about this whole debacle, besides giving Musk some weird looks at the weekly pedo elitist adenochrome sucking party.

His erratic behavior, his cringy, half messianic half serious bussiness posting, his focus on culture war crap and his drive to get the world record on speedrunning a fortune into the ground are all explained by him being a retard to begin with and then getting his weak mind turned into mush by right wing retards in his replies. The whole twitter files fiasco was the final nail in the coffin. Hope he ends up as a washed low grade grifter, so we can continue laughing at him without his fucking face beinc everywhere, though it's more probable that he will yet again dissapoint.

As of a recent article by the Washington Post Elon Musk currently holds roughly 13% share. KoGuan, (who reportedly owns 6.3 million shares out of 69.09 million shares) whom has a roughly 9% share seems to be the first large shareholder to throw a stink, however, a former tesla Executive, Herbert Kohler, seems to have an even higher share than Elon Musk currently has in Tesla at 12.98 million shares (According to this capital.com article) which, if the numbers are right, gives him roughly 18.7% share in Tesla, giving him a larger controlling interest than Musk.

I am having trouble finding the next few largest shareholders, but it seems, aside from perhaps the saudis, not many more individuals or investment firms have more than decimals of percentage control, so I imagine a vote to oust him with a majority would be a bit difficult.

Didn't blackrock and another big investment company buy in as well? I know I vaguely remember the Oracle fellow, ellison. if you wanna dig in a bit more here's a link i found that might help.

probably a lot of both. I wouldn't be shocked if this is just another bot trap for Musk, he's probably gonna hang it over to Lex for awhile.
I personally seen a lot of the nafo bot swarm going after it/retweeting it, and i'm sure "no" voters have a few bots as well.

You don't get to be one of the richest men in the world by being a retard, but being a retard does get you to make Kiwifarms posts like this.

So do think this is this the end of free speech (well less censored) on Twitter? Who is Lex?

The feds are probably shitting themselves over TikTok being such a dominant force and trying to figure out how to infiltrate it or bake up an alternative. Facebook is for grandparents, Twitter is for boomers and millenials, TikTok is for zoomers and younger. It's always best to get the indoctrination started early, especially when millenials are probably the last generation to still be watching cable television. The US government has fallen very far behind with their propaganda outlets
