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).
Elon Musk Thread - Buys twitter for reals this time
- Thread starter ChicagoFats
- Start date
I think they will reject the offer, but I think Elon will gain control of the company some other way.
The interviewer in the Ted talks is such a pussy. He is crying that Elon is trying to buy twitter.
Elon "At this point I think I know more about manufacturing than any other person on earth."

I mean, what kind of plan can beat 54.20 per share? Twitter will never get back to that price point.

Especially if they keep the Stalinist model.
The only thing that would be more entertaining is if Elon puts President Don on the board

how the fuck is Twitter worth 50 billion dollars? That's an offer so good you'd have to be violating SEC laws to reject it lol
It truly is Good Friday.
kind of the point, he makes a ridiculous offer, they turn it down and sells his stock. TWTR freefalls in value then he comes in and buys it for half of that.

Seriously?
Here is a write up I did that puts most of what they do in perspective:

The third section gets into the Blackrock/Vanguard relationship
Twitter has taken the poison pill so now Musk should dump his shares and encourage as many users to drop the platform and start/join new platform.

Twitter adopted a limited duration shareholder rights plan, often called a “poison pill,” a day after billionaire Elon Musk offered to buy the company for $43 billion, the company announced Friday.
The board voted unanimously to adopt the plan.
Under the new structure, if any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of at least 15% of Twitter’s outstanding common stock without the board’s approval, other shareholders will be allowed to purchase additional shares at a discount.
The plan is set to expire on April 14, 2023.

Damn, I am invested up to my neck in Vanguard index funds. Should I feel guilty?
If you are in an index fund, like most of us, they are one of the only options.
Read earlier where vanguard is a big investor in TSLA and SpaceX. Wonder if it could be to back Elon and not road block him?
