did twitter actually tell elon “no” at any point, as the top block in the meme suggests? i thought they just enacted a clause to prevent hostile takeovers, they offered him a board position which fizzled, and then he made an offer to buy the whole place, which the board considered and accepted. was there a point where the board tried to refuse the offer and got overruled somehow?

Does Twitter as a company have any ownership or patents on anything that could be exploited for that? Twitter owns a tremendous volume of user data, the hearts and minds of America's media establishment, and absolutely zero useful technology lmao

It doesn't matter if they did or didn't tell him "no", since Brane Jenius Musk waived due diligence before signing the deal. He had buyer's remorse almost immediately after signing the deal, this is all just theater designed to save face. The problem for ol' Musky is that Twitter has, quite rightly, been telling him to eat poo poo and honor the terms of their deal.

Durzel posted:Honestly the funniest thing would be Twitter just straight up banning him, although they can't easily do that with obvious legitimacy within the confines of their own rules. They could just update their terms and conditions with: "Signing paperwork to buy Twitter Inc. and then trying to weasel out of it will get you banned."

banning someone who is intentionally loving with your business is a no-brainer, they don’t need a specific clause because they already have the right to ban anyone for any reason. they won’t either because they want musk to continue digging himself deeper, they’re worried about competition from wherever musk would land after leaving twitter, or their lawyers told them not to because it would look bad in court to ban the person they are suing because they want him to be their new boss.

Durzel posted:Apologies if already posted - but I read this and felt like it answers a lot of questions: That's not really how it works. The vast majority of Elon's money is in Tesla stock, Tesla is a publicly traded company whose stock flows through the New York Stock Exchange. If Elon doesn't comply with a court order the court could simply seize Elon's stock and threaten to liquidate his holdings to make good on his end of the obligation, which nobody wants because it seriously gently caress with both Tesla and Twitter stock values. Elon might thumb his nose at a Chancery court but the various individuals who actually hold his money absolutely won't if hit with subpoenas.

Unless his tweets start threatening to materially harm Twitter something tells me they're not going to take a hard line on loudmouth celebrity oafs posting on their site as much as possible. It only happened to Trump cause for a minute there people were really worried he was going to bring the feds down on them

Yeah they told him no, at the start when he was just buying a shitload of twitter shares they wanted nothing to do with him. Even the board position was kinda obligatory -- if someone owns that many shares you kinda have to give them that. But most of it was because he was getting semi-control of the company for cheaper than they felt they could get from a buyout. And the board seat fell through because Elon had already violated securities laws by not disclosing his position. Once Musk got baited into saying "ok I'll just buy twitter" and they called his bluff, that's when they were happy to sell for $54 a share. Bad Purchase posted:banning someone who is intentionally loving with your business is a no-brainer, they don’t need a specific clause because they already have the right to ban anyone for any reason. Banning him might be argued as a violation of the non-disparagement part. I think when Elon was harassing twitter workers he was kinda trying o get them to take action against his account, but twitter didn't bite. also your username / thread content synergy is excellent

Every groyper who can figure out how to access a school and an AR15 is already engaging in acts of terrorism, are we supposed to worry about the ones who can't reach even that bar own goaling in their mom's basement cause their hairplug iron man got in trouble? The dude's a great illustration of the difference between having a lot of money and having a lot of power. The problem people think the courts might have with him is that imprisoning capitalists makes all the other capitalists nervous, and he blatantly refuses to play along with the little show penalties that exist for that class where they pay a couple hours' income in fines and promise to be good boys from now on. That historically doesn't tend to lead to the total collapse of the system, if he doesn't cave it usually just means the guy in Musk's boat ends up shooting himself twice in the back of the head in a few months A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Jul 11, 2022 |

Barudak posted:Help me cause i aint the legaling type but by waiving his right to inspection of the business and such, Not quite, the due diligence is stuff that happens before you sign the deal. So by waiving due diligence, what that means is "I will take Twitter's word as true about everything they say about the business, rather than get their data and books to run the numbers myself while we're still negotiating". But if hypothetically Twitter was super lying about something, for example the % of bots, that is not covered by waiving due diligence. Twitter in that case would have done a bad thing and be in violation of the merger deal (in which Twitter said "these numbers are truthful" and Elon said "I accept that you're telling the truth"). Twitter would then have to pay the $1 billion to Elon, and also get hosed up by the SEC for lying to their shareholders. Which is all very unlikely. One of the people in this deal has a history of lying to their shareholders, and it ain't Twitter.

Sophy Wackles posted:I would guess twitter has been lying for years about bot and shill type accounts. there's also a lot of intentional confusion being put out by elon about the bot metrics. from what i've seen, twitter never publishes anything about the raw number of bots they know about (probably because it would be embarrassingly high). instead they publish metrics about "monetizable users" and then estimate that 5% of those are probably bots. what percentage of total twitter accounts are "monetizable users" is not public. but twitter could be 80% bot accounts by volume, and twitter would still not be lying when they report 5% of monetizable users are bots as long as the number of monetizable users is only about 20% of the total accounts that exist (i.e., only the ones they think are real humans). but elon has been trying to make it seem like twitter lied to the public about 5% of all twitter accounts being bots, which everyone knows is obviously too low... probably by a full order of magnitude.
