    No tears shed here. The people who built Twitter got a nice payout when they absolutely robbed Elon Musk in that deal. Anyone who chose to stay on the Elon train after his first weeks at the helm gets no sympathy from me.

      Except for the green card holders whose residency in the US was literally held hostage by Elon.

      Facts.

      Elon tried so hard to back down from that deal. I’m not sure why it took actually signing that deal to realize he had been hosed.

      If I was an executive at twitter, I would have absolutely done everything possible to get Elon to pay that $44 billion.

        Elon: Fuck you Twitter!

        Twitter: Fuck yourself, Elon!

        Elon: Oh yeah? Maybe I’ll just BUY you.

        Twitter: Ha! No you can’t….

        Elon: No? Watch this!

        Twitter: Gotcha, dipshit.

        Elon: What? Wait no!

        Twitter: Ahem… judge?

        Judge: They got you, dipshit.

        Elon: (unbans Trump) Nyah-Nyah!

        Twitter: Ahahahaha (all the way to the bank)

        Elon: Everyone see this? This is the ADL’s fault!
