I can't believe the biggest huckster, snake-oil-salesman, ever, is going to end up owning the internet's town square.
Our last hope for justice are the courts. Musk has three major trials in October, the 420 "funding secured" trial, some sex discrimination or bullying trial, I think, and the twitter trial in Delaware Chancery court.
The Chancery is our best chance, as they don't play. And Musk has already caused a rule 11 breach by signing statements that his own evidentiary submitions prove false.
I hope the courts fine him a few billion for his antics, and maybe ban him from being an company officer for 5 years. That's the only punishment that would be meaningful for a man like that. Specific performance, alone, would be a massive win for Musk. He needs to get fined hard, too.

If Twitter prevails in the upcoming case, my understanding is that Musk would be forced to complete the deal. I'd much prefer he just fcks off and goes home, even if it means he "wins".
- Ekaros 4y agoI just want to see him lose money... Even if that money goes to Twitter shareholders...
- koheripbal 4y agoThis is just pointless irrational hate of someone you don't know and will never meet
- badpun 4y agoStrange criteria... Plenty of people hated Hitler or Stalin despite never knowing or meeting them.
- koheripbal 4y agoWhat an extreme response. Hitler and Stalin had a high probability of causing the direct killing of people they knew and loved. Elon Musk is the CEO of a company you likely will never even patronize. Hatred (or love) of him is pure teenage emotional angst.
- badpun 4y agoNot extreme, just a poignant way to point out that you don't need to personally know someone to be affected by them and to feel love/hate for them.
