At least I didn't believe in the word  from Elon Musk by myself first. He speaks many thing at a time.By doing these, he takes only his benefits.  Then we have to suffer for these.  I will tell everyone not to rely aleast on the word of Elon Musk.
If Elon manages to control all of Twitter's shares then it's a disaster for Twitter's future. but I'm not completely sure about Elon's desire to control 100% of Twitter shares, even though he really likes Twitter but will he spend that much money even though he says he doesn't care about the money?  i like Twitter but I don't like Elon will controlling it.

Well, one thing I can think of is he's famous in most social media especially in Twitter so maybe for a manipulation or whatever we could think of he could do since it's his if he could own it.
He is already famous/popular on social media, especially on Twitter. And he can do manipulation although he doesn't own Twitter. Actually, he doesn't need to buy Twitter for any reason, he has no specific purpose to own it. That's why I assume he only made a joke if he said to buy Twitter. I doubt if he wants to own Twitter because he plans Twitter ads payment in BTC, as he ever said several days ago. If he really wants to see more adoption in BTC, he must keep BTC for Tesla payment and never revoked it.

I don't like Musk and all that stuff about him shilling Dogecoin, changing opinion about Bitcoin etc, but I am not so sure that Twitter would be any worse if he takes it over as they have been very restrictive lately when it comes to stuff that you can say and not getting banned. The only question is whether he is serious about all that freedom of speech thing or he is just bullshiting, which wouldn't be the first time.

I also don't like him because he's a clown and to him everything is a tool to make fun, which is why he pumped and dumped Bitcoin, sold flamethrowers, made a tunnel to travel to work faster, launched a car into space... He's got too much money and is autistic, so I don't blame him for being a spoiled rich kid stuck inside a grown man, but that's who he is. He's going to play with twitter and throw it away, just like he did with many other things in the past, even his wives.

I don't really care what he does in Twitter to promote Doge. People would still buy Bitcoins when it goes down. And do he even need to buy more shares? Apparently the board of directors, aside from Dorsey, pretty much don't own any share.

I would appreciate the shake up and had I been a shareholder would definitely want those people out of the board (or reduce their control). Those ideologues with fancy titles voted to not make any profits. Imagine hearing that as shareholder, that you are not gonna make any money out of your investments.

This entire affair would at least be entertaining from all the salt.

Like two days ago, Elon Musk in an interview says Twitter ads be better to be paid in bitcoin. Elon Musk has 82.4 million shares of Twitter which is 10.3% of Twitter. Recently he wants more of Twitter and wants to buy Twitter.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter, saying he is the right person to "unlock" the social media platform's "extraordinary potential".

In a surprise announcement, Mr Musk said he would pay $54.20 a share for Twitter, valuing it at about $40bn. It recently emerged that Mr Musk was Twitter's biggest shareholder after he built up a large stake in the firm. He said that if his offer was not accepted: "I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder".

We all know how deceitful Elon Musk can be, all he cares about is doge coin, not bitcoin, even doge coin rose when he bought shares on Twitter, he is only looking for ways to make doge popular and this can be effective if he owns Twitter. I believe he will fail because Twitter is never like Facebook and will never be like Facebook. His aim will only be towards making doge the dominant coin Twitter will be accepting just as he did with Tesla after his bitcoin criticism which he was wrong about but just wanted to fool people.
Yes, this is very good news but if he buys twitter then he can make too much hype about this own token hear SriLanka tells them to buy their own county so what will the final destination just waiting to see this matter.

I think wherever there is a party that has the power to strengthen a statement, there must be an impact. Recently Elon Musk raved about an offer to buy twitter with bitcoin and another one with dogecoin. from this statement there must be an impact that will happen whether it's bitcoin or dogecoin, but let's face it positively maybe we can take advantage of this statement.

The offer to buy Twitter caused Twitter's stock to jump several points. If Elon Musk refuses to buy at the very last moment, then Twitter shares will plummet down. Perhaps he wants to make money on this. He clarified that if the company does not agree to accept his offer, he will reconsider his position as a shareholder, which means that his price offer will not change and bargaining is excluded.

So let's speculate a bit about him, did he really manage to pull it off?
 Musk wants to acquire twitter because he can use it for his own selfish desire maybe in promoting dogecoin rather than bitcoin.
He is certainly not offering that kind of money if he doesn't think that he will profit from it, but do you really think that he would spend 40 billion dollars as a way to promote Dogecoin, when he can do it for free on Twitter anyway? This would be extremely stupid move and he didn't make all those billions by being stupid. He for sure has some bigger plans for it and not to shill some some shitcoin.


Either way, I see no harm in letting him take over. He is a very smart man and can help Twitter grow. However I see why people are concerned.
I don't like Musk and all that stuff about him shilling Dogecoin, changing opinion about Bitcoin etc, but I am not so sure that Twitter would be any worse if he takes it over as they have been very restrictive lately when it comes to stuff that you can say and not getting banned.

I wonder what the outcome will be of this. Basically seems like a good stock option play. Price will either go to his buy out price or will go back to where it was before he purchased it.

Obviously if they don’t let him buy it he will dump his shares, why wouldn’t he. And since the share holders don’t want that they are in a big pickle.

Either way, I see no harm in letting him take over. He is a very smart man and can help Twitter grow. However I see why people are concerned.

Don't underestimate Elon Musk. He is too intelligent. He became the richest man on this planet thanks to his intelligence. If Twitter comes up with this stupid 15% limit, then Elon may purchase 14.9% of the stock for himself, another 14.9% for his wife, and smaller shares for each of his 8 children. Elon is having a big family, and that helps. Now what will the Libertards at Twitter do against this? Will they come up with another rule, limiting shareholding for extended family? And don't forget the fact that none of the idiots who are present in Twitter board holds more than 0.1% of the shares (apart from Dorsey).

It it laughable the way the woke folks at Twitter are trying to avoid the inevitable sale to Elon. They have now come up with the "Poision Pill" option. Is this even legal? I don't think that they will be able to defend this in the court. Dilution of shareholding just to target one of the investors is extremely unfair, and these guys are just lucky that the SEC is under the control of the Biden administration. Things may change after the mid-term elections though. Going by the early trends, Dems stand to lose even blue states such as Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado and Maine.
One is a situation where a bomb was dropped into a ship and killed dozens of soldiers and created hundreds of people who got affected and even the main reason for the atomic bomb to happen as well resulting with whole cities being destroyed and Trump is talking about how it is similar to him not being able to tweet anymore.

I can't really stress this enough, it is not that bad that Biden became president, he is not great, he is not awesome, but to realize the fact Trump shouldn't have been a president to begin with not because of political reasons, not because of his decisions, but because he is unpresidential and he is a cry baby and nothing more. Glad I am not American.

I really wonder about their valuation in this day and age. Although Elon Musk has had a lot of successful deals, his influence is growing in every area. I see him spoiling some. criteria in the field of economics, specifically crypto. But on this topic, we are talking more about Twitter. To be honest, I am increasingly fed up with navigational news from social networks. Sometimes just turning them on can be a bunch of news focusing on one issue. Of course, both positive and negative elements coexist, but I've seen how the news can distort the truth and justice in recent years.

Twitter is considering a corporate defense tactic to fend off Musk.
They are considering launching the so-called 'poison pill', a maneuver aimed at avoiding an unwanted acquisition offer, due to the irregularities Elon Musk has committed after his purchase offer.

The step taken by Elon Musk is perfectly legal and in turn Twitter turns down his offer, then they have to do a lot of justification to their share holders. On the other hand, I really doubt whether the "poison pill" tactic is legal. If challenged in the courts, Twitter may be fined heavily for the losses incurred by Elon due to this tactic. It is neither legal or ethical. The left-wing moonbats believe that they can get away with anything. But unfortunately they are messing up with the richest man in the world.

I doubt he will successfully buy Twitter. Twitter CEO must have a bigger plan for Twitter in the future. Except if Elon Musk wants to be an investor or being a partner of Twitter company, it can be considered by him. Not sure what Elon Musk is doing right now, he probably wants to own all the projects that have a great potential to be developed in the future. I can't believe if he really wants to buy Twitter to make Twitter ads paid with BTC.  Grin

Well, one thing I can think of is he's famous in most social media especially in Twitter so maybe for a manipulation or whatever we could think of he could do since it's his if he could own it. Twitter people might not be happy if that's going to happen but maybe just for crypto or something since Twitter isn't just for crypto since it has a lot that most people would do. So we can't think what Elon really be thinking about of the offer to buy Twitter.

"I don't want to be rich, but I want to be able to have or buy whatever I want in life" - Elon Musk

Elon can get anything he desires to get at any cost. If he pushes so hard, he'll get the highest share of twitter. If you deny him the opportunity, I think according to your post, he threatened to withdraw his share and that will affect twitter in some ways.
We all need to know that Elon is one of the most influential personalities in the world. He gets what he wants but I do not agree with Op that Elon will invest a whooping $40 billion in order to pump or promote dodge.
Elon is very ambitious, and most probably if he sells his share someone will catch the price and will make it more expensive again.
Twitter is a huge social media platform, if the owner really wants to sell it they will sell it a huge price. I don't think Elon will spend his money on twitter just to promote DOGE because he can do that even without spending billions of money. He's the richest man in the world today, he can do whatever he wants but if he is going to deal with other billionaires, he might find a hard time dealing with them.

We know that he is an overly hyped businessman, he does whatever based on what he wants but I don't really know what he wants by acquiring twitter. He was able to buy all the shares thanks to the financial strength he had, but anyway it was just an offer so I can believe that he might fail with his plan.

So let's speculate a bit about him, did he really manage to pull it off?
Musk wants to acquire twitter because he can use it for his own selfish desire maybe in promoting dogecoin rather than bitcoin. As he believes that twitter has the highest potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, so he'll definitely use it for his own gains. But based on my research, the twitter boards will do everything not to sell twitter. So most likely, all the boards have agreed to decline the offer. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/14/why-elon-musk-might-want-to-buy-twitter-for-43-billion-dollars.html

Elon Musk is unlikely to want to spend a lot of money to buy Twitter if he doesn't get the benefits, Surely Elon Musk has big plans that can make him
even richer. Due to the large number of Twitter users, it takes Elon Musk to promote something, especially since Twitter has been proven to be able
to turn certain coins into hype. I also have no doubt Elon Musk can afford to buy Twitter with his wealth, the problem is that Twitter's board of directors
doesn't necessarily want to sell it to Elon Musk. So it's likely Elon Musk should be disappointed that a bid proposal with such fantastic numbers will be
rejected by Twitter's board of directors. Because so far the Twitter board of directors is still careful with Elon Musk's offer, and there are no plans to sell it
to Elon Musk.


We know for sure that Elon won't make that offer if he is not seeing something about Twitter's future. He is a businessman, so his goal is to gain profit from whichever investment he will put into. But we don't know how long the board of directors can hold but for now, I don't think they will accept Elon's offer. The popularity of this social media is still high so they know they are still earning good money. Maybe, if they see that Twitter is being left behind, that's when they will start thinking selling this platform.
