It's to protect investors from heavy losses when Twitter's value is obliterated by the heavy CIA/DoD fingerprints all over it. Elon Musk bought Twitter to shield the public from the financial fallout. Elon's goal is to expose Twitter and place a spotlight on the SEC.
Memes will need to be ready, frens. Twitter's algo defense has been neutered upon Elon's arrival. You're beginning to witness the free-flow of information (at an alarming rate).
There is no coincidence that this happened right before midterms. Now the world gets to see the Truth.
"We have to bypass the media in order to get straight to the people."
"We've gone AROUND THEM like no one in history has gone AROUND THEM."
-POTUS
Truth Social was created for this reason....
This cannot be stopped.
Except the problem is, is by buying the company out and returning it to private, it no longer has 'investors.' Nobody has any money in Twitter atm but Elon.
That wouldn't be a problem if you were trying to protect the investors, that would be the point of buying those investors out, because now they have their money out and no further risk of fallout from what happens to Twitter. However, that OP's theory makes no sense to me because Vanguard and Blackrock were some of the biggest shareholders, so why would Musk want to also protect them?
Because Black rock and Vanguard are not using THEIR money to invest, they're using money from pension funds and individuals that invest in their funds.
0% interest when they biy houses too. It's not a free market.
The way I see it, it is simply because Elon wants to provide a true, neutral digital town square, exactly like he says. He seems to be the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. But I don't think I am.
Some of his favorite twitter accounts get banned, for dubious reasons, or really no reason at all. He notices that if accounts have a certain ideological bent, they are under much more scrutiny than those that parrot "THE MESSAGE." He sees people of said ideological bent leave Twitter and go to Parler, and once that was shown to be a honeypot for the CIA, to Truth. He saw Truth as a necessary thing, but also a dangerous thing because he is right: by dividing us into our own echo chambers, they have weakened our ability to have the necessary discussions for our country to survive. Like, Trump, Elon loves the USA. It gave him his fortune, after all.
Maybe he's team white-hat, as it certainly seems like he is making the right moves at the right times to really put the Democrats into a wringer. The left's squealing about Twitter comes at a time when Biden is presiding over a VERY bad inflation crisis, potential nuclear proxy war, and groomers practically crawling out of the woodwork. All of these problems, and what is the left worried about? A billionaire buying something. It is critical timing, the midterms are less than two weeks away, and their opportunity to shift the narrative has passed. Their desperation is clear to see. Their faction is in chaos all because Elon finalized the twitter purchase at the exact right time.
You can tell he was ready to get shit sorted out on day one, as he was barely owner for 30 seconds before he fired the big three assholes at the top of Twitter's problem heap. People on the Right are going to get to see, at a PERFECT TIME, there are far more of us than there are of the psycho trans activists, climate alarmists, and 'defund the police' idiots. Nothing will goose our desire to vote out the garbage more.
We are watching history unfold. Truly an entertaining time!
That was my first thought too, then I realized the OP is saying Elon is protecting investors from those losses and absorbing it himself.
