Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I’d love to see him eliminate the spam bots off the platform!
Right wing propaganda would take a huge hit if he did.
He needs to add a tip jar for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin to each user's profile.

As long as he charges a fee that can be used to clean up the environmental impact of those things I’m ok with that idea.
Intersesting. Why is it the governments business what Twatter is discussing? Not sure I agree with that?
I would say to make anti trust issues come to light if there are any. You know the doj is gonna be Stevie Wonder on this whole thing.
Just thinking out loud .... Twitter is a private company and the government has no right to be involved in their discussions. I fucking hate twitter (until its bought by Elon) but not sure I can justify this move without more information explaining why they think its legal for them to be invovled.

They are publicly traded company. They are under government regulation. It would be different if they were privately held.
regulations do not require you to disclose all of your private conversations.

If you are blocking the sale of a publicly traded company and potentially harming the stock holders, it does.
Again, this only applies if publicly traded.
Is it private? I thought Elon was trying to make it private instead of a publicly traded co that is bound by the laws of the US?
You are 100% correct and I guess I meant the boards private conversations
This guy is really growing on me
And electric cars

I hate Republicans but don’t be obtuse.
Congress has a right to fact find on any topic they want and especially if it involves economic activity. Twitter employs many people and has publicly traded securities for goodness sake.
Let me guess that you don’t think “government” should look into how these big oils companies are polluting the planet either

I’d be ok with the government taxing anyone who doesn’t drive an electric vehicle. No doubt it’s a good idea but spineless Republican cultists won’t allow it since it’s the right thing to do.
Dont let the door hit ya faggot
Somebody is going to be thinking lawsuit if the deal doesn't go through
Reminder that the board (Many of who do not have the means to fight the lawsuits they will face if not acting in a fidcuiary matter)
Elon Musk says Twitter board could face 'titanic' legal liability
Elon Musk has warned that Twitter's board of directors will face 'titanic' legal liability if they go against the interests of shareholders in rejecting his $43 billion hostile takeover.
Deal Today?
Stock trading 51.25 ...... is it on its way to $54.20?

Hope Elon walks in to the Twitter office like Ari
Any action involving DWAC, and I'll be very pleased 
Any action involving DWAC, and I'll be very pleased
Elon taking over TWTR is going to be direct competition for DWAC and will hurt its growth imo. That is if Elon does what he says he is going to do and return free speech to the platform.
DWAC really dropped the ball and missed a great opportunity by not being ready when they said they were going to be.
Holy shit can’t believe it might happen. Never thought it was possible
This is going to be a monumental shake up if it happens. If Elon can acquire it, and then bring his innovation to the table it could be a very fun ride.
It's funny how all the libs hate Elon now when he's played one of the largest roles in the green energy movement

I might actually reactivate my twatter account
There are millions of people just like you.
