I also believe Musk paid $0 for Twitter, refer to EO 13818 "Trump’s Executive Order 13818 Seizes Assets of ANYONE Involved in Human Rights Abuse or Corruption" https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/DCPD-201700923
Twitter was allegedly involved in private accounts and trafficking. Human rights abuse or corruption assets are allowed to be seized, this would include stocks, businesses, properties, arts, artefacts etc.
To think about, not me telling anyone that is what happened or is happening now but it stands to reason that assets are seized if found guilty, which would suggest that trials for some of the higher ups have already happened.
Largest contractor for military, known entity, has money, has a large voice. As I say its connecting dots that make logical sense rather than verified truth.
He is a known entity to military. Nothing to do with money, to do with trust. Money just helps him and the platform legally defend itself when people attack him or his platform. So far he's been quite entertaining and most certainly appears to be aware of people that would frequent GAW
Musk met with trump at that conference of tech leaders trump formed early on in his presidency, started working with him and then had a public "falling out" just like trump had with many other people in his administration. This removes optics that musk is on Trump's side, it played out very similar with sessions if you recall
Elon had a personal vendetta against mutual shareholders of Twitter at that time. They attempted to devalue his companies and sent NGOs after him to try to tarnish his name. It's not really much to do with Trump. Also there is speculation that the current Elon is also another actor/double like Biden. That's an entirely different rabbit hole that I cannot yet verify

You may believe this, but I can assure you, it didn't go down this way.
Twitter was a publicly traded company meaning the people who owned Twitter was anyone who owned Twitter stock. These was tens of thousands of people. There were almost 800 million shares of twitter.
In fact, Musk overpaid and tried to back out of the deal.
Also you should read the text of 13818, it does not apply to Americans.
The text says it only applies to "foreign persons."
Any time a sanctions program is issued you can go on the Treasury's sanctions website and see who is sanctioned, banks and financial companies need to do this to see if their customer is a drug dealer or the brother of the head of Hamas. So you should be able to check what I'm saying.
Turns out it was a paltry 5% so not majority shareholder. Prince Alwaleed, Vanguard Group, Blackrock, Morgan Stanley were the major holders. Thanks for the info.
The shareholders owned twitter until Musk bought it from the shareholders and then took it private. Publicly traded companies will not be part of EO13818. The shares any individual owns will be but not the entire company.
Prince Alwaleed owned 5%, Morgan Stanley 8.4%, Blackrock 6.7%, Vanguard Group 10.78% - So not one individual to seize it from, if they are foreign owned, operated and involved in human rights abuses it could still occur, but must admit I believed it was more cut and dry than that.

So Twitter was just given to Musk, free of charge?
Why Musk, then? Why not you or me or my friend Fred down the street?

What does having large military contracts have to do with running Twitter?
So those with the most money and influence should run Twitter?
None of that makes any logical sense to me.

Ok, but why and how was it determined that Elon Musk should be given Twitter? Other than he met with Trump?
Al... it's all speculation. Do a little digging and see what you think. Don't take anyone's word for any of it. 👍

They got paid.

I thought majority of shares were Saudi Arabia owned? Which would be foreign assets as well as it occurring after "Saudi Purge"
