He should wait a few days or a month. Give time for Elon to shake things up inside. That is, assuming he actually does it. But this soon? Likely he will get a ban.

He should wait until Elon is actually in charge. Board approved the sale, but now shareholders need to vote, and then Elon actually needs to take over.

I heard it was going to take like 6 months to complete the sale.

But I don't think it matters. It seems the Twats have turned off "trust and safety" and are intent on destroying Twitter and turning it into a cesspool before Elon gets control but blaming him for it.

...but there's got to be some kind of escape clause where if the Twats intentionally destroy the company he doesn't have to complete the sale, an epic self-own if they destroy it and then are left holding the bag.

How is that “destroying Twitter”? Isn’t that exactly what Elon wants? Isn’t that what we want?

I mean I want twitter destroyed if it cant be turned into a free speech absolutists memefest, minus any porn since that damages free speech.

They want to run NYT hit pieces on how dangerous racism has increased 5000% because of white nationalist Elon, they want pizzagate, and advertisers leaving.

If they turn it into twitter-chan that's fine with me, but they believe they're destroying it and taking their ball home with them.

Twitter is a cesspool even with "trust and safety."

I wonder how long he will be up for?

I suspect the activists at twitter are in crisis meetings for a few hours. Then collecting their xanax prescriptions.

I think you are right on why he still hasn't bee... And it's gone.

The Twitter mods must have had emergency Xanax pills stashed somewhere.

They are probably "burning" documents by now. So the evidence will be external only. But it does help to create a large sample of people wronged by Twitter.

Yeah, does he technically even "have it" yet to make any changes? Even if he did, dude things take time..... I can't imagine that if he does fix twitter he will be able to overnight.

After writing that, and reading a bit about it, apparently it will take a few months until the transaction is fully complete, and the board fully accepts the money. From what I understood, if Twitter fails to take his money, they will owe Elon US$1 Billion. And since the company is broke and losing money, they will be fucked if they screw this up.

And you are right, I also doubt he will be able to fix it all. But the way Twitter is, at least a 5% attempt at moving in the right direction is a positive outcome in my book.
