What was kinda funny is that he did some big esports related announcements right before, I guess to make the youth vote get out.
Like he wants before 2027 that France host a CSGO Major, a LoL worlds and a DOTA TI
also showed up the day before the election in a Team Vitality hoodie (french esport org)

Twitter set to accept Musk's original $43 bln offer

whelp. There goes twitter.
> Musk has said Twitter needs to be taken private to grow and become a genuine platform for free speech.
And by that he actually means: shut down all criticism of Musk/Tesla/SpaceX, and bring back everyone banned from twitter, like Trump

@BradC Afaik Twitter never ended a year in the black
wonder how they didnt get scooped up by some rich AF dude before
But yeah shows how musk is stupid rich
He can drop 43bn on a social network that never made a dime just because he wants control of it

@Fredy31 yeah, this is definitely not about profitability or anything else; its about Musk swinging his giant... wallet to exert control over Twitter policies and practices
Fredy31
Fredy31
its simply stupid
like if you would ask anybody what Twitter was worth it would definitely not be more than what... 10-15bn?
He went triple that

@Wipqozn It can't be worse than it already is.
Fwiw I do think Twitter's censorship policies often go over the line, mostly because a human is rarely involved in moderation activity in the first place. Musk, being a free speech absolutist (ostensibly), could help defeat that.

Not a reliable source, but for what it's worth:
Trump will not return to Twitter even as Elon Musk purchases platform, will begin using his own TRUTH Social
(and by that I mean Trump is not a reliable source, even of his own future actions. Not a comment about Fox News)
