If it was such an important cog on the disinformation wheel, why would the Deep State risk selling it? They said it was a powerful tool in elections, too. How and why did this go down? Would the Deep State risk letting truth shine in any corner?

Because they had to. By law it is the Board's fiduciary responsibility to it's shareholders to provide the best return on their investment. When Musk offered to purchase the company for more money than it was worth, the Board was trapped.
If they refused the offer, they could be sued by the members for massive damages.
Correct.
I would add that since it was a publicly traded company a hostile takeover would have been the other route. Elon would have bought enough shares to take control one way or another. NCSWIC
Exactly. They had no choice but to present the offer, it was to much money offered to turn down without a suit from the shareholders who want a profit.
the cabal or anyone really is well capable of a monkey wrench to prevent deal from going through. they could have hung it up in courts for stupid reasons ro any number of things so this theory is weak IMHO
But since when do they follow laws, or fiduciary responsibility? Elon was allowed to purchase Twitter. They didn’t out bid him, they didn’t block the sale, and they provided financing to him.
If they didn't sell it, Twitter's board would get sued personally and could face criminal charges.
They fought tooth and nail to prevent its purchase, if you don't recall.
If they didn't sell to Elon at his generous offer, each individual share holder could have sued the board in a class-action lawsuit. All of them would have gone down civilly and then also be investigated for criminal disenfranchisement of the stock holders they are on the board to protect to begin with.
If you actively go against the interests of the stock holders you represent, it's potentially criminal.
They had to sell, otherwise risk losing all their money AND going to jail after a lengthy investigation as to why they sought to screw over the people they were "chosen" to represent concerning their stocks.
Elon je-baited them with his lawsuits, and forced them to beg him to buy. Now we are here.
They delayed it and fought tooth and nail - you're absolutely correct I wonder how much actual shit was scrubbed/removed from their servers in that time. Considering how quickly some of the trafficking hastags were identified and removed I am sure the real incriminating stuff was probably already removed during that time frame.
Absolutely. I just wanted to add that the board would have had Directors and Officers insurance (D&O)and if they were smart, individually they would have carried personal umbrellas. (Some members of the board were well off, but not 'rich', so a lawsuit could have destroyed them personally. )
However, D&O will not pay though for things like fraud, intentional criminal acts, illegal remuneration or personal profit. They could have taken the risk, but my guess is the skeletons in the closet prevented that. They got painted into the corner. And it is beautiful.
Pure speculation here but note the following:
Perhaps Musk didn't really need to pay for ALL the shares because some were seized. He offered X per share and people calculated the 44Billion, but it maybe possible some holders were not going to be paid, but lost the shares due to seizure?
I did see somewhere that Elon had options that were expiring and basically, he had to 'do something' with them.
this theory I think has some traction
They are stuck between pretending that the free market is still real.. aka people can still purchase and own property despite whatever that Schwab might want, and that twitter and the other deep-state company assets are legit businesses and not governmental constructs to wage war on the population.
"you cant buy twitter... cause all of our child abuse/records of state terrorism are there" is the same sort of quandary that a drug dealer will find themselves in by blabbing to police about attacks on their operation. Damned if they say something, damned in a different way if they keep silent.
A couple of layers of bluff, and Elon called them on it. The only reason we haven't seen Elon anointed as the official new hitler in media is how slowly he is rolling back the bans and throwing out smokescreens like his 'advisory council on unbanning' that seems to have been a bit of bait thrown one way while he went the opposite way.
As other comments also state. Could be Elon is deep state also and this is theater to focus elsewhere. Could be a white hate event to move the normie mass psychosis? At this point my Schrodingers box is pretty damn full.
You are smart to question. But until we “open the box” we still won’t know. I am just enjoying the show and asking questions myself.
Under Trump, Elon was awarded the most amount of money compared to any other person/company by the DOD. He used all of the contracts for SpaceX and the Starlink. He was given access to our space technology and data. Would Trump allow someone in the deepstate to get all of that? Anytime they have “fought” each other has only been theatre like Trump and DeSantis.
Not saying he isnt deepstate cause I dont truly know that, plus his mother and ex-girlfriend were creepy so I do get where it comes from.
Agree completely but I love the exchange of ideas as it’s about building a knowledge base to understand machinations of the “deep state” vs the rest of humanity. DS is not a monolith but a central core and many useful idiot type rank and file.
He hired someone who indirectly called out the deep state. So there's that.

You're assuming Elon isn't Deep State.
IMO Musk is not on our side.
When he found out Twitter was infested with bots he should have haggled for a lower price.
BUT --- He didn't do this. i.e. he wasn't spending his money.
or he decided to expose the fraud after buying and sue the pants off of them. I believe this is one of the larger motives of Elon identifying all of the bots with polls and likely if Trump sends even 1 single tweet following his reinstatement
Elon is pushing EV
Elon has children with Satan worshipers
Elon wants to put chip implants in your brain
Elon loves China
I know it fun to think that Elon is on our side.
People keep getting Elon-amnesia.
Elon bought Twitter to keep the propaganda machine alive --- Twitter was about to self destruct.
Exactly! And it's like a big Elon Twilight Zone circle jerk around here lately. I don't get it.
You summed up why I'm weary of Elon in the first 3 lines.
I'm not really sure what to make of him.
So far Twitter seems like an improvement, but that's really all I can say.
The bad guys realized Twitter was about to self destruct,
so they laundered $44 billion to fix it.
I feel sure that there are some private partners and most of the ownership rolled back around to the same investors when it was public. Elon just took it from public trading to private. Can't do a hostile takeover now.
IMO Trump is going to make them eat it --- without him.
we all should be weary of everyone, Trump included, but also need to open minds to possibility an Elon for example is a white hat plant or has been otherwise turned to/for the good. it seems you have this ability fren but cyber's and sondering's comments that are above you lack this ability dramatically.
all we can know is that we don't KNOW. we may guess correctly, or have a hunce, or an educated guess, but that is not knowing. and what one uses for their "educated" guess may be and is likely information someone wants you to believe to be true to manipulate your opinion. for now I'll base my judgment of Elon on his latest actions and those mostly seem to be based, with some exceptions. I'm far from a circle jerk about Elon, but you can bet your ass I'm hopeful! WWG1WGA
What's with people getting the Elon-amnesia?
And he wants 5g everywhere.
simple minded of you IMHO. is he an actor? how would someone even gain the approval of the cabal to be possibly be able to take over their greatest propaganda machine of the day? who knows, the guy could be pure cabal, but most of his actions of late suggest otherwise. don't have such a closed mind about Elon or anyone that clearly "appears" to be part of the cabal. they just might turn out to be one of the greatest heros of this Great Awakening in the end if/when teh players and their roles are revealed. if he's cabal and guilty hang em high for sure, but for now I think we need to keep hope and as needed keep pressure on him to make twatter a free speech exchange even if he oddly quells some limited free speech (e.g., Sandy Hoax, #DiedSuddenly). there are plenty of red pills to prescribe to the normie sheep even absent these limited subjects
Elon-amnesia.
Elon did not create Tesla. He stole that title.
so what if he created tesla?? what's that got to do with the price of chicken in china? you seem to be all in on wanting/needing to be "right" about your take on Elon. good luck with that
Maybe they weren't given a choice. Who knows at this stage of the game.
Someone made them an offer they coud not refuse.
They had to.
TL;DR
It was a publicly traded company and they were simply outplayed. They probably didn't consider one of the wealthiest men alive would buy it.
Libtards are too stupid, lazy and cheap to run it by themselves. What platform have the demtards ever succeed in??
Election software.
I'm surprised they didn't pull some other billionaire out of the woodwork to make a counter offer.
PANIC.
It was a public company. You have to entertain all offers. Shareholders demand you take a good deal. My question is, if it was a cia operation, why was it a public company to begin with?
If it wasnt publicly traded - people would have less faith in it and oddly enough allows any three letter agency to hide in plain sight. It also allows even more market/money manipulation to drive wealth upward.
I don't think it was the good guys.
