NEW YORK, April 25 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) is poised to agree a sale to Elon Musk for around $43 billion in cash, the price the CEO of Tesla has called his "best and final" offer for the social media company, people familiar with the matter said.
Twitter may announce the $54.20-per-share deal later on Monday once its board has met to recommend the transaction to Twitter shareholders, the sources said, adding it was still possible the deal could collapse at the last minute.
I know a lot of people on this board were upset with the idea of less censorship on Twitter, but if Reuters is correct it looks like it might happen.
Question: who gets the 43 billion? Shareholders? Does that mean he is the only shareholder then? He takes it off the market?Could you quote....oh.... any of these people being "upset"? Here's an older thread on it:
[W: #405] Twitter reportedly nearing deal to sell itself to Elon Musk

I don't see a single "upset" person. It's curious. You actually posted this in that thread at post #34, and it's a response to someone who was joking about it. You didn't quote a single "upset" person, there or here. But then, Trumpist baiting does lie on dishonesty; dumber is better because the sheer stupidity of the lie makes it more likely to annoy a liberal, thereby "pwning the libtards" or whatever you call it now.

I think it would be hilarious if he goes all in and lets people post whatever the **** they want. Twitter would crash and burn because, as it turns out, people don't actually want their social media messaging service to be 8chan with a bunch of extra nazis, porn, and nazi porn.
My bet is he'll do little things like add an edit button/window, etc., but not really radically change it. Or if he does radically change it, it will be more to his own business ends. Then we'll get to watch them run around declaring that Musk saved "free speech", not that the term means anything at all divorced from the 1st.
Precisely!Question: who gets the 43 billion? Shareholders? Does that mean he is the only shareholder then? He takes it off the market?

No, but the right wing noise machine is telling its audience that this has “liberals head’s exploding”
It doesn’t matter whether this is true. As long as the Fox/Telegram.Alex Jones,/ Trump mob thinks it is, they’re entretained.
Great news for freedom of speechMusk gets Twitter for $44 billion, to cheers and fears of 'free speech' plan
Elon Musk clinched a deal to buy Twitter Inc for $44 billion cash on Monday in a transaction that will shift control of the social media platform populated by millions of users and global leaders to the world's richest person.www.reuters.com
I know a lot of people on this board were upset with the idea of less censorship on Twitter, but if Reuters is correct it looks like it might happen. Twitter has allegedly agreed to Musk's offer to buy them out. They still have some escape hatches, but they're moving forward it seems. Musk believes that Twitter needs to become a private company to become a "genuine platform for free speech."
Well that was a rude condesending post. Why are you trying to start a flame war in this thread I wonder?That is correct.
And for all the little trump losers that are celebrating this because they believe that Musk will give their fuhrer his Twitter handle back, just bear one thing in mind.
A private corporation is not obligated to extend ”fee speech“ on their platform to anyone.
Not the shareholders of Twitter, nor the new owner, Musk.
And if Trump and the trumpkins all thing the Trump is going to be able to spew whatever garbage he wants on Twitter, you all need to bear in mind that Musk has abolute veto power over any of it.
Only in your own mind, my friend. It's you people who were giddy about the possibility. I don't give a shit about Twitter.Musk gets Twitter for $44 billion, to cheers and fears of 'free speech' plan

This is a game changer. The left will lose control of the narrative which is something they desperately need to perpetuate their Marxism in America agenda and in fact an integral part of it.I don't give a shit about Twitter.
I hope he gets Trump his account back.

Why don't they go somewhere else where they're not afraid of being censored?Twitter has a leftist narrative yet the majority of mainstream conservatives are on there daily tweeting all kinds of their own narratives.
