Patrick saysShaman saysSo stock values drop over the refusal of one shareholder to sell to Musk.
Can that one shareholder block the sale?
No. The board will likely refuse it though, and that will open them up for lawsuits violating their fiduciary duty etc. Stock will tank if it's rejected
Today after the reveal of the Poison Pill the board inserted into their own company, Twatter is trending down having lost four basis points and returning to the valuation it was at when Elon made his initial buy. How much lower can it go? We shall see. Elon will keep up the pressure to make these people expose their attitudes. Short sellers incoming!
I think Elon will buy it all at $25/share.
All of this because lefty democrat ideas cannot survive the scrutiny of open free discussions.

It's not left, it's establishment.
We living under an authoritarian system. The whole purpose of making the Internet was to expose it. Well, now you see it, but you STILL want to think it's LEFT VERSUS RIGHT.
It's not.
It's UP versus DOWN.
Mike Gravel, Tulsi Gabbard, Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Donald Trump - they are ALL subject to censorship. What do they have it common? Are they LEFT or RIGHT? Or do they just talk truth to power?
If people can't understand what is going on, they can't change it. The left and right were created, ENTIRELY ARTIFICIALLY to be a distraction.

@Shaman What are the details of how that Poison Pill works?
Yeah I've heard this dumb argument before
but I have to ask, who is the "right establishment", and how much power do they have? Yes you have the Bush and Cheneys, but I don't consider these dudes "true right"
So who are the true "establishment" right that is waging a culture war right now?
Goran_K saysYeah I've heard this dumb argument before
You're hopeless.
Describe the principles of "the left" and "the right" - the principles they've each held for from 1970 to 2020.
It's not an argument at all and it's not "dumb". People are dumb.

The "not a true Scotsman fallacy".

I can tell you the principles of up down. The principle, the only principle of the up - is power. The down is escape from that. You have DUMMIES that think that the powerful will represent them, too stupid to realize they never will. Did the "left" ge...

Okay what are the principles of up/down, and how does Trump fit in?

I believe (and my info may be outdated since I haven't worked on Wall Street for a long time), but basically it will allow the board to issue additional shares for purchase at discounted prices in an effort to dilute existing shareholders. I think that's the basics of it.
It takes two to tango.
People bitch and moan about sick bullshit on television - throw your fucking television away. They whine and complain about censorship done by corporations - stop using them.
All this shit, it just distraction. Do you think Mitt Romney gives a shit about the culture war, or Joe Biden does? Do you think Clinton "felt your pain" or cares about it? Does "the left" care about if the president is mentally incompetent, if he's corrupt, if he's a warmonger? Well, they did, supposedly, when Trump was president, don't now.
It's just the establishment. When we next have a president like George Bush or some other asshole - and we will have one - the standards will change again which means there are no standards.
Our problem is that people are stupidly divided, and that's exactly how the establishment prefers it. Break us up into tiny small groups, fund them, and use them to create havoc. Remember the Feminism in video games bullshit? ...
@Patrick Goran nailed it. Issuing new shares out of nowhere would damage their stock price considerably, but I guess it’s legal.
This is why your idea is stupid. You claim it's not "left vs right", but all the culture war enemies are lefties.
20 years ago it was "we have to bring back Christian school prayer" "Evolution and Creationism are both THEORIES" "Comedians can't use those words!!" "We need the CDA to protect THE CHILDREN on the Internet!"

It alternates. Maybe you've not bee around long enough.
In the early 1990's when the first Communication Decency Act was being pushed through we had USENet. USEnet was a global bulletin board system that had a variety of topics. When they were trying to regulate the Internet back then, a bunch of spooks started posting pornography on alt.computing.amiga and alt.tech.news, etc - when there was already alt.sex.whatever. People complained because there was a place for that, but "it is my RIGHT to say whatever I want WHEREVER I want!!!". This continued until the CDA failed, and then it all went away.

None of this hurts children, and there was never any actual censorship. Yes, it's an example of the bigot right, but it had no bearing on people's health or daily lives.
Are you comparing the "Evolution vs Creationism" debate to K-12 educators talking to kids about taking puberty blockers, drag queen story time, and forcing them to take experimental vaccines?

Indoctrinating children into anything, including religion, is evil. Convincing a kid that the world is 5,000 years old because the Bible said so - that kid isn't going to be a very good biologist, because it will make the concept of evolution quite difficult to them.
No, this is worse - far worse.
It's worse because it has to be to get people to react. It wouldn't happen if you have local control over your school which you should have.
Really, I don't care if some insane parent sterilizes their kid. I feel badly for the kid. My main objection is that none of this belongs in school. School is for reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Schools have sucked for a long long time. I'm glad people are finally recognizing it.
They were taught side by side so you could still make up your mind. And this doesn't compare to forcibly injecting children with deadly substances. I'd say the boosh era brought a lot of death and destruction to foreign counties, but leftoids excel in destroying America and its citizens
We're run by a criminal syndicate.
Elon is not the richest fellow on the planet.
gabbar saysElon is not the richest fellow on the planet.
Who is? Rothchilds, I guess.
KATY TUR, MSNBC: It's so tricky because there are real and devastating consequences for using that platform to lie. We have seen it happen.
I wonder -- you know, in talking about this, it's kind of funny, oh, Elon Musk wants to buy it, but there are massive life and globe-altering consequences for just letting people run wild on the thing.
KARA SWISHER, NYT: 100%.
The culture war is promoted CONSTANTLY just to get idiots to fight.
As long as we don't talk about the low capital gains tax relative to the high tax on earned income, the billionaires are happy.
I agree that religion generally shouldn't be the basis of public school education but that was never really a war waged by the right. Otherwise the entire boomer generation and Gen X and their kids would have been religious zealots. In fact, as history has shown, the majority of them went the exact opposite. Literally never was an issue.
Compare that to Millennials where 90% of them are woke gaytards who use the term "birthing people". The left has waged a culture war, and they are winning.
Whether you like it or not, there is nothing in the history of the country as wide spread and dangerous right now than the culture war that the left is waging in America. It's literally destroying the country before our eyes. The argument that "both sides do it!" is extremely weak because the right has never held the institutions of culture in the same dominant fashion as the left does now.
Elon really has backed these lefty pedos into a corner.
- They accept the sale, they get paid but lose power over the town square.
- They don't accept the sale, the stock price crashes, and Elon can buy more at cheaper and cheaper prices.
- Elon decides it's not worth it, and he dumps (worst case scenario for stock HODLers).

Can't disagree more. The culture war is THE war.
Also, Creation vs. Evolution is a false dichotomy. It's Neo-spontaneous generation disguised as "evolution", for which there is no evidence for, vs. Creationism (for which there is equally no physical evidence for).
It's the war that that the oligarchs doesn't care about. They don't care who wins. It's an intentional civil war where the outcome doesn't matter to them.
No, they care about it. The fight by Twitter, Disney, MSNBC, etc. against Free Speech and for LGBTQ+P worship proves it.
Not to mention the GOPe rollover at every stage of the culture war. They all talked tough - say on abortion, gay marriage, and now Tranny Indoctrination - that once it was imposed, they surrendered. Kristol, French, Romney, Collins, etc.
Everything is downstream from Culture. By atomizing individuals, destroying the family, destroying traditional sexuality as the norm, etc. etc. they help create the Human Hive of Insectoid Arcology living where people Own Nothing And Be Happy..
