If you buy 50.1% of Twitter, you can do whatever you want. They chose not to take the Google route of a two-class stock structure.
At the current stock price, that's about $5,180,340,000...but of course the price will begin to rise as you buy more and more shares on the open market. So let's say a cool $7 billion to make it happen. Are you planning a Gofundme?
- naravara 10y agoThis could be a fun premise for an episode of Mr. Robot or something. 1.) Someone sets up a "take a fraction of a cent off every online transaction you make and put it in a brokerage account for you" app to get a lot of seed capital. 2.) Hack a lot of newswires to spread viral false information about (a non-trademark violating analogue for) Twitter that tanks its stock price. 3.) Use your pile of app-money to buy out a majority stake in (N-TVAf)Twitter at its new low price. 4.) Open up the platform, sell off any now-pointless assets. 5.) HACK THE PLANET! HACK THE PLANET!
