From the looks of it Musk is not satisfied on how twitter is being maintained and since the massive amount of bot accounts on the platform has basically pulled out of the deal:

And from a report earlier today suggests has had the financiers of this buyout stopped funding as well:

So in original Elon fashion:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/technology/article-elon-musk-says-44-billion-twitter-deal-on-hold/

Is he doing this so to watch the stock plunge as it is upon news of this coming out before the bell,
So to scoop it up for a cheaper (a few billion less) price?

Honestly speaking, I believed he was Elon Masque. And it's nearly impossible to predict what Elon Mask will think or do next. Because if anyone can guess, then I don't think there will be anymore elon masks. So there is only one Elon Mask because his thoughts are unimaginable for anyone. Could you remember the name of the Paypal mafia? Just think of the photo of the PayPal Mafia where there is no Elon Masks photo. So he's every big business deal, but he's on his way. So it's tough to know his vision. I thought others' opinions might be different. Thank you.

Elon Musk is a successful businessman. It becomes much easier to do anything he wants. When he tweeted about Doge Coin, Doge would be skyroket and when he talks about Tesla, Telsa is at the top of the discussion. Now he already bought Twitter. After all, I would call him a rich businessman, nothing more.

I've said it a million times but I think Elon is a fool who has no idea how cryptocurrency really works.  I have it on good authority that he is the same way when it comes to Tesla and Space X..that he talks out of his ass all the time and no one corrects him on it since he's well.. Elon Musk.  If you watch the round table he did not too long ago with Jack Dorsey and Cathie Wood, it's clear the guy has no clue.  To me I think he just likes doge because he knows the big wallets can control things more and he wants to pump it being so low in price.  Though I do think Jack Dorsey has gotten in his ear a bit with the whole Doge thing, and I think it might be starting to rub off on him (Jack being a maximalist).

Elon musk is very futuristic in his approach. He knows that data is digital gold, he invested in creating his own network of satellites for providing internet services, he bought tweeter, He has single handedly kept dodge in limelight and, this greatly enhanced the value  of dodge coin. I believe he is doing all this as a part of a bigger plan, where a decentralized economy, free from government control can be executed.
Seems like Elon is getting himself in alot of unwanted attention with a post saying "If he dies in the coming days.."
He is now getting in trouble with the Russian government with them accusing him of providing their enemy with spy equipment which is absurd.
Mr.Beast is looking to inherit twitter if his assumptions are true.

This sounds like something out of spy novel. So we can only wait to see what unfolds in the coming days.

Elon Musk has surrounded himself with people who are much much smarter than him. He himself is no dolt either, so obviously he has understood the potential for crypto. Although I am not sure as to why he would promote Dogecoin. If anything that does make it seem like he is just doing PR with a large audience which he "kidnapped" and made it his own community.

Egomaniac is as egomaniac does.
I think you were correct in this phrase.
He had backers for his takeover bid of the company and they are well known entities in any circle:


I recognize a lot of these as Venture Capitals as they have invested in Binance and other crypto projects before. Such as Sequoia Capital, a16z and many more. So I am guessing Elon's got a mix of his own investors and crypto investors in the game. I wonder why Vitalik Buterin isn't jumping onboard?

Unless this Twitter takeover is a train wreck and Twitter does not become the next Myspace, then we might be seeing a lot of crypto adoption soon. In any case, for the crypto community this is a win-win situation. Or perhaps more of a win-losenothing situation.

Just by looking at some of the names on this list the one which sticks out the most is CZ's exchange.

So Binance would have some advertising space on there or even a say on it is run when it comes to where the crypto comes from once it goes web3?

This only explains that Musk had help with the bid from all over the globe including Qatar.

I liked how you put kidnapped for the user base on twitter.
They can suspend or just stop using the platform if they want.
And many have in a way to protest the change of ownership.
Don't think it will matter because with the news coming out of it they have added 30 million new users.
Whether those be authentic actual real users, that would need to be decided when Musk's implementations actually do take effect.

Mister Musk received what he wanted to in the first place and it wasn't entirely the ownership over twitter.
It was..
The Publicity that followed.
It was a win-win by all accounts in his favor with this take over of the company.
Jack Dorsey came out and posted on his former media platform that he "was happy" & even "endorsed" that Elon has complete control of his creation.
What follows now is anybodies guess.
But with the most recent leaked audio of an earlier board meeting, it doesn't seem to be the same sediment going around the company left in Musk's wake.

With all the talk being focused on the take over of twitter by Musk today here are some points to what could come and one related to a cryptocurrency:

This was accepted by all board members so no hard feelings from those involved with the buyout.
But there are some who have opposed showing hashtag #leavingtwitter with some offbeats memes.

Well if your company and stock are starting to absolutely go to the trash can and given the fact the volatility and possible profitability of crypto then it might be feasible he might be using that to add some sort of profit to his portfolio. Also given the fact that with one tweet his post can be seen by millions maybe even billions of people he may have the ability with his amazing feat of public relations that he can actually with ease cook the books.
From the reports, he wants to buy up the company and set the rest of the shareholder's yearly pay to zero.
If this doesn't sound like some kind of trolling job at this point I don't know what does.
He has angered most of the shareholders especially the prince of Saudi Arabia who has a vast majority of the shares in twitter when it comes to free speech.
So only time will tell what he will do next in this hostile overtake of the company. Which he is no stranger too. This is how he got to own Tesla.
There is plenty of evidence of this all over youtube and the rest of internet.

Anyone up on current events have already heard that Elon has bought enough shares in the former company of Jack Dorsey(inwhich starting next month is when he is officially departing) that he can essentially take control of the entire Twitter corporation.
With the hostile takeover of Twitter they have introduced the poison pill so it can not happen even if he did want to go that route.

What is weird is this tweet Musk has put out channeling Elvis:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-cryptic-tweet-channeling-002758490.html

The story of Elon Musk & wanting complete control of Twitter continues and gets stranger by the day.

It appears that we might have fallen for Elon's tricks again. I speculate that Elon only wants to pump his twitter stocks similar to how he pumps dogecoin. By tweeting about them hehehe. This is only a speculation, however.

Elon Musk bought 9% of twitter stock and filed with the SEC a proposal telling everyone that he wants to buy the whole company for $54.20 a share. This filing allows him legally to tweet and say anything to pump the stock in social media. Very much similar to the way he pumps dogecoin hehehehehee.

In response to the plan of Elon Musk to buy the entire shares of Twitter, there were more suggestions from the netizens to buy Sri Lanka instead of Twitter for $43billion. This suggestion have come out as Sri Lanka is facing the worst economic crisis since its independence.

How serious Elon Musk takes it is unknown, but the suggestions were really fun filled. One user have suggested to buy Sri Lanka and name it Ceylon Musk. Another have suggested about having the best graphite whithin the country that can be used in Tesla.

Elon musk is genius in doing business. He knows for sure that crypto is good investment, and would like to use his influence over the internet to boost coin price while promoting his car brand.
He has thus created a virtuous cycle, it's a win-win strategy.

Elon Musk will do what Elon Musk wants and say "f**k everybody else" especially those invested in his own companies.


https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/topstocks/another-day-another-tesla-stock-sale-for-elon-musk-2488-billion-over-past-7-days/ar-AAQMWZx

Notice that Elon Musk has sold $8.8 Billion of company stock over the last 7 days to service taxes and other expense obligations, but has not sold a single satoshi for the same.

Very telling which has more value to him.
Much truth from @Torque in his observation from a recent post on the Wall observer thread enough so I had to put it up on here.
