Enlightening and educational indeed, I suppose.
- dehrmann 3y agoThis guy's a pro. He said all he needed to say with that.
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoHe left out the wonderful journey.
- WalterBright 3y agoWe'll see. I'd buy stock in Twitter today if I could. I bet Musk gets it profitable - the previous management never did.
- linuxdude314 3y agoSounds like someone doesn't know much about how Twitter is capitalized.
- WalterBright 3y agoI know it's privately held and can't buy stock in it.
- Beldin 3y agoI realise that this is the premise of the Musk takeover. How does that work in practice? Twitter was a public company, with plenty of current and former employees having shares due to compensation. Were these people forced to accept money over their legitimately held shares? If not, is it now illegal for them to sell their shares? In other words: I can see that it is no longer traded at the stock exchange, but I don't know enough about stock to understand how the genie is forced back into the bottle.
- joshuaissac 3y agoI am not sure how it works in the US, but in the UK, an entity that buys at least 90% of a company can force the minority shareholders to sell at the same price.
- SecretDreams 3y agoThere are no shares for them to sell because it is a private entity. Their RSUs/equity would have either been deleted, converted to private equity that you can maybe sell on the secondary markets at best, or converted to cash bonuses. I think 1/3 are pretty unlikely and 2 would have those RSUs in the gutter as well. Maybe a disgruntled Twitter employee could comment.
- WalterBright 3y agoI owned Tiffany stock when it was taken private. I received cash for the shares.
- dehrmann 3y agoThis is definitely what happened for vested shares. You'll get whatever price Elon promised to pay. No idea on unvested.
- akiselev 3y agoThat sounds like some weapons grade spin. It’s like the corporate-speak version of “oh you sweet summer child” or “bless your heart”
- numpad0 3y ago“Hey ChatGPT, tell me how to say I’ve never seen a man stupider, period, but you know,”
- geraltofrivia 3y agoIt’s not too far off the actual response: “I must admit, I have rarely come across someone with a more unique perspective on things. It’s truly intriguing to witness such different ways of thinking.”
- bsder 3y ago"Bless Elon's Heart"
- weeblewobble 3y agoDamning with faint praise
