Which fucking law, Leon Umsk? Florida’s “nun uh you can’t ban Trump for inciting violence” law, Germany’s “no Nazis law”, Canada’s “don’t be a hatespeecher” law? What about Thailand’s blashemy law? Considering Twitter is officially headquartered in Ireland, Irish law?

Methinks he is like a weasel

Musk will give trump his twitter back. The only way to fight this is stop using it, media stop repeating things said there, just fucking kill it.

It’s well worth noting that there are still a lot of hoops that would need to be jumped through before the offer could actually be accepted. And apparently, part of his funding is contingent on the performance of Tesla’s stock… which dropped on the news of the offer.

Since it’s tangentially related…

He’s been complaining a lot lately that the SEC “blackmailed” him into accepting the consent decree.

Yep. New bullshit is the same as old bullshit. Reddit maintains terrible-awful as well as any, but I stay away mostly. Twitter will either break itself or break Musk. Either way, there are elsewheres.

In fairness, Tizzle couldn’t make that happen either (lanekeeping or getting Musk to do his fucking job). For my part, things like Wellbutrin just cause an inability to think and bad tummy trouble. Adderall same.

However, the lawsuit alleges the sale “may not lawfully close until 2025 absent approval by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of Twitter’s voting stock not ‘owned’ by Musk,” citing Section 203 of Delaware corporate law.

Section 203 prohibits corporations from engaging in any business with any stockholder for at least three years after the date the stockholder owns at least 15% of the corporation’s outstanding stock.

Musk owned 9.6% of Twitter’s outstanding voting stock when its board approved the sale. But because of an arrangement he reportedly had with Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and Musk’s financial adviser Morgan Stanley, the plaintiffs argue Musk was an “interested stockholder” representing more than 15%. Dorsey owned 2.4%, and Morgan Stanley 8.8%, at the time of the sale.

Welp, there you go. We knew it was never about free speech and always about attacking the left.

Is this related to the topic? I think it might affect the deal…maybe?

And is “sexual massage” a euphemism for hand-job? I know in “People” magazine, a blow-job is called “full-tilt whoopee”, so…
