Musks's Twitter Buyout Deal May Unravel

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 4/29/2022 6:45:19 AM

Few events in recent history have elicited such handwringing and lamentations from the left as the possibility that Elon Musk might own Twitter. But have all their tears been for naught? The deal that Musk has crafted to buy the social media giant is fragile and could unravel as fast as it was put together. One indication is the market — usually a pretty good indicator of what’s going to happen. Twitter shares plummeted after investors began to look more closely at the deal. Musk also has a history of changing his mind. (Snip) There are a lot of moving parts to the Twitter deal and investors aren’t convinced Musk can

Comments:

It depends on whether Musk really cares about free speech or is just having a little fun. Billionaires, sheesh.

This article is just wishful thinking by libs not living in reality. Musk already sold $4B of Tesla stock to pay for the Twitter deal. Libs trying to create a new narrative so they can sleep at night.

I just woke after a decent sleep and had no thoughts about Twitter, facebook, tik-tok, instagram, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, NYT, WAPO, LGBT, BLM, ETC… Not worth my time and peace of mind.

The author seems to have forgotten what Musk said about this, "I don't care about the economics of it." Clue for Rick Moran: China and EU be damned. This will be the free world's, "Town Square," as Elon put it, under "private ownership." The deal will go through.

Men (yes, I didn't say persons or people) at Musk's position care about their position and the authority and influence it brings. More money has little meaning for them. Musk knows if he backs out the damage he, his reputation and believability suffers will be substantial and irreversible. Anything can happen but such outcome seems unlikely.

We live in an age where people who know nothing about a subject can speculate about how it will turn out. And, they make a living out of it.

If the deal gets squashed, consider it proof that Twitter is controlled by the Federal government.

Notice there is no Poutrage, massive backlash, demands for "Transparency", certainly no Congressional interest in determining exactly WHO took over "Drudge" and started skewing stories/coverage/reach. How much did they pay? Where did they get the funds?

Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is, to quote a certain sitting U.S. president, a “big f****** deal.” It’s not just that the decision is a huge victory for conservatives that cleanses us of one of America’s gravest moral taints. Justice Alito’s decision matters because of the potential it unlocks. If Alito’s opinion is issued unchanged, it will represent the full reversal of one of the foundational decisions of the Warren and Burger Courts of the 60s and 70s. It is no exaggeration to say that the Supreme Court of those two decades created the modern left-wing hegemony we are currently groaning under.

Much has been written this week about the pro-abortionists’ plans to picket the homes of the six Republican-appointed justices over the egregiously leaked Alito draft overturning Roe v. Wade. Those criticisms, which I summarize below, are certainly valid. If we had an attorney general who cared about enforcing the law, he’d seek injunctive relief and criminal penalties for such conduct. If AG Merrick Garland fails to do so, the attorney general of Virginia, Jason S. Miyares, may step in to preclude any such protests in his state. But I think the rowdies got their ideas from Chief Justice Roberts’s strange role in the ObamaCare case mandate challenge

The inconvenient truth is that even at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a very simple, inexpensive and effective treatment was available that could have saved the majority of lives lost (1-3). All that the WHO and public health bureaucracy had to do was to recommend and support people taking sufficient Vitamin D3. This failure to act traces back to the unscientific bias and pro-vaccine obsession of Dr. Anthony Fauci. And once again the legacy media, while being paid by the US government and the pharmaceutical industry to promote vaccination, acted by censoring, defaming and suppressing the ability of physicians to inform people of scientific truth.

The impending acquisition of Twitter by the world’s wealthiest person, Elon Musk, is one of the most improbable developments out of the business world—and, indeed, the political world—in decades. (Snip) Most important—as is the case for any incoming organizational owner, president, or chairman—what kind of personnel changes can we expect right out of the gate? Will Musk fire Dorsey’s hand-picked successor as CEO, Parag Agrawal? Just as important, where will Musk go to recruit his personnel replacements?

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that so many of the most hysterical climate-change/greenies are based in urban regions. A big city represents the heaviest human footprint there is, something that misleads people into believing that man can ride herd on nature. (Snip) Whether it’s earthquakes, floods, droughts, hurricanes, or just inexorable greenery (e.g., kudzu, every jungle), when nature gets a head of steam, we’re tossed about like ants after a careless human foot kicked their anthill. And surely the most stunning and destructive example of nature’s power is a volcano. That’s why volcanic activity in Antarctica is a bit unnerving.

We do not have to speculate about that: Chinese officials say this is what they are going to do.  (Snip) They do not want to "compete" within the international system.

Wells Fargo has become the latest major financial institution to set new greenhouse gas standards requiring borrowers in the energy sector to reduce emissions. Oil and natural gas companies must reduce their absolute emissions by 26% by 2030, based on 2019 emission levels, Wells Fargo said last week. Other power sector businesses must see a 60% reduction during the same time period. The new rules from Wells Fargo are part of a trend from financial institutions around the world to implement such climate regulations for its lending programs, joining the likes of Citigroup Inc. and the United Nations-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance.

When you think of everything that's gone wrong with the U.S. military -- from its wokester agenda, to its failure to contain Russia, to its breakdown in discipline, to the presence of Gen. Mark Milley on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pretty much all of it has the name of Mark Esper, President Trump's former defense secretary, all over it. Rather than slink off into obscurity after such a performance, if not back to the big-bucks war-machine defense-contractor lobby whence he sprang, he's out shilling a tell-all book and promoting it on 60 Minutes in a bid to discredit the man he purportedly "served," President Trump.

Joe Biden, the man who has been "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," as former defense secretary Bob Gates wrote, has nebulously put the U.S. on a path to war with Russia. Not because he wants to. But because he doesn't know what he's doing. That's the consensus of foreign policy experts as diverse as Thomas Friedman, golf buddy to President Obama, and Mark Wauck, the decorated former FBI official from its pre-wokedom era. According to Friedman, writing on May 6: If you just followed news reports on Ukraine, you might think that the war has settled into a long, grinding and somewhat boring slog
