    Nothing is real unless Rogan or Russell brand has a podcast on it
    Or Chappelle makes a joke about it

    just my opinion, there is going to be a bidding war for TWTR, by deep-pocket profitable cos,
    w a settled price somewhere between TWTR high for last year (in the 70s) and Elon's current offer @54.

    if Elon still wants to gain control of TWTR, perhaps the most convenient way is for him to
    convince the TSLA board to buy TWTR using TSLA stock as the currency​

    Hmm - maybe not the best way to win over shareholders...

    https://www.axios.com/elon-musk-twitter-reasons-reject-bid-5ff396df-1590-4104-b779-7bcbb6ab4916.html

    Driving the news: Musk was interviewed on stage at the TED conference in Canada in his first public statements since disclosing his $43 billion offer.
    • "I don't care about the economics at all," said Musk, reflecting how he views Twitter more as a public utility than a private, for-profit business.
    That came after Musk said he'd try to finance the deal by convincing major existing shareholders to roll over their stock into his offer, although it's unclear why mutual or hedge fund managers would buy into his noneconomic vision.

    As Glenn Greenwald so eloquently noted on Twitter:

    "If the success of your political movement, your national ambitions, or your wars, depends upon the need to censor dissent and silence your adversaries, that's a pretty strong indication that you have zero confidence in the beliefs you want to propagate, probably for good reason."

    Twitter lost its way. The CEO change just made it worse. The new guy seems like a real loser.
