It means a copy of the code is publicly available so anyone can see how it works and even make their own twitter clone by making a few modifications. Instead of a black box, twitter would be a clear box.
You are getting a forced sell at $54.20 a share. You could be forced to have a loss if you bought higher or a profit if bought lower. Not sure how the exchanges will fund the shares sold or how long it will take....but sell date will fall into your 2022 taxes.
How much power of influence does Twitter, FB, Reddit, etc. have in influencing the minds of people?
Has the stranglehold of the MSM been diminished?
What is open source?
Musk wants to take Twitter private BUT a pause on trading of shares/temporary removal from a stock exchange is procedure for big buyouts/anything of scale.
See: when pharmaceutical companies are bought, leadership of the company being bought/the buyer can’t touch their shares within a certain timeframe of the deal going through due to insider trading laws.
Could anyone kindly explain (like I am 5!) what 'open source' actually means, especially what (if any) affect it has on users.

Got it, and thank you! That was very helpful!
You’re welcome.
There are different flavors of open source.
Two major licenses are BSD (Berkely Software distribution and GPL General Public License)
BSD is easier to "lockup" new code as proprietary.
GPL encourages you to expand the free code base.
Apple is from BSD
Linux is from GPL
I will make a clone and call it Twatter.
Hunter Biden will make a clone and call it Tweeker.
or tweener.
Or Geekster
twaccer
The key thing is the transparency.
The last thing they want. I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth already.
It means you can make your own Twitter
I find the way twatter "works" to be back-asswards. Whatever CIA guys that made it are fucking morons.
It also means people can make modifications on the platform itself and contribute them to be merged with the official thing.
It also also means one can reduce the workforce CONSIDERABLY, since bug squashing and feature development becomes crowdsourced.
Yep, this is basically why open-source blockchain is the future of government and finance.
We will finally get a cheat proof and fair systems with no bugs or with bugs that get eliminated asap.
At least they could hold votes with smart contracts and nfts and we could actually get the candidate we vote for in office.
So it's going from a PUBLIC (Corp.) to a PRIVATE (Company)... hmm
But open source algorithm, so no more of the bots for the Democratic party / CIA. Well, it makes it more difficult.
$ave big money at Menards!

Thank you!!
Why merge when you can interface?
Full privatization? Or retaliation from the cabal?
be ready for mass stock dales as index funds reshuffle.
Wouldn’t it be funny if digital world purchases Twitter.
and Parler too?
It is private - nobody is purchasing Twitter until Elon makes it publicly traded again, if ever.
So I don’t know what happens if it’s delisted but I just bought a small put expiring Nov 4 just to see what happens

Trump's return to Twitter imminent.
Will Elon get the blame for triggering the greatest stock market crash in US history?
Since the "w" sounds like a speech defect, you can turn it into "Titter." And Musk gets the last laugh.
