I doubt THAT will ever happen. He's just a stakeholder, he has no real influence on directing the company.

I wouldn't say I doubt that it will ever happen. But if it does happen, it won't happen soon, for the reason Jack just gave. He's currently the single biggest shareholder, but it's only a ~9 or 10% share. Still, the more he invests, the heavier his influence will be.

So, I wouldn't say it'll happen any time soon... but never say never, either.

It's almost as if people like the idea of uncensored political opinion, see Elon's investment as a potential pathway to Twitter embracing that, and are all about it.

Personally, I'm too cynical to think there's more than a slim outside chance of that actually coming to fruition. But I guess we'll see.

Well, he's definitely going to be an influence going forward. Anything would be an improvement over Dorsey.

Gragrawagrawalaragwalal (or whatever the name is of the Apu who took over) wasn't. Except possibly in the honesty department; Dorsey lied on multiple occasions to run cover for his company's blatantly obvious suppression of conservatives; at least Magagrawalagrawalabingbang doesn't lie about it.

54.20 a share he offered. That's already a bargain! Closed at 45.08, but watch what happens if they eat the "poison pill" tomorrow. That fucker can produce the 45 billion in cash too.

What a riot.

Here's what I don't get yet. He could've bought every outstanding share today at 45. Guess he doesn't want to gamble for it

Elon Musk has lost his position as Twitter's largest shareholder as he attempts to buy the company in a $43 billion deal.

The Tesla and SpaceX boss said in early April he had become Twitter's largest shareholder, having built a 9.2% stake in the micro-blogging platform.

However, he has now lost the top spot, as asset manager Vanguard Group said in a filing lodged recently with the Securities and Exchange Commission that, as of April 8, its funds now own a 10.3% stake in the company that is worth $3.6 billion based on Friday's close.

The filing shows Vanguard increased its stake in Twitter over the course of the first quarter.

On Thursday, the world's richest man unveiled a $43 billion bid for the entire company, in a take-it-or-leave-it offer.

Musk is still the largest individual shareholder, and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is the second largest, but he said on Thursday that he is "not sure" whether his takeover bid will be successful, hours after making the offer.

"I am not sure that I will actually be able to acquire it," Musk said while speaking at the TED2022 conference in Vancouver on Thursday.

Musk said that he had a "Plan B" if his bid was unsuccessful, but did not elaborate on what that would be.

Did you see Gab's offer?

Board seat if he sells his twitter stock and invests 2 bill in the infrastructure. No stock involved. Starlink would be the ISP

Purrrrrrrfect
