Could you commenters please make up your minds over whether you want the deal to go through or not? You all seem to hate that Musk would make Twitter more conservative so you don't want the deal to go through, but also make fun of him and torment him for pulling out as if you do want the deal to go through. You can't have it both ways.
Either you want the deal consummated or you don't. Stop being such hypocrites.
- jeremyjh 4y agoWe definitely can have it both ways. We don’t want him to buy Twitter - because he is an idiotic blowhard. Also we are happy he is backing out, because it demonstrates what an idiotic blowhard he is.
- gsibble 4y agoThat's fine, but then you can't celebrate that he may be forced into buying it which a ton of comments here are doing.
- daemoens 4y agoThey still don't want him to do it, it's just funny that he's being forced into doing it now. It's not hypocritical to laugh at him for that.
- gsibble 4y agoHARD disagree. If you don't want him to own it, you should be happy he's walking away.
- daemoens 4y agoWe don't want him to own it, but if he's being forced to after making all the self-righteous fuss earlier this year, it's extremely funny.

- rvz 4y agoSame here and that is more likely to happen. I'm find it extremely hilarious and I'm laughing at everyone and the whole chaos since I don't use Twitter in the first place and I don't care what happens next. There are no viable sane alternatives to Twitter. So the greatest action one can do is to just delete their account since Musk will own it either way whether they like it or not.
- compiler-guy 4y agoThis may be hard to believe, but HN is made up of thousands of posters with a wide variety of opinions. The fact that some people want the deal to go through, and some don’t, and that they post at different rates in different threads, doesn’t mean that any individual person is a hypocrite. Nor that HN in general is.
