First, an update via Reuters:
Elon Musk isn’t read more the most reliable merger partner. The billionaire Tesla boss is getting cold feet about his $44 billion deal to buy Twittet. The board of the social media firm would be foolish to tango with him – again – on different terms.
Musk has been harping on Twitter’s user figures, saying on Tuesday that he cannot move forward until the company offers more clarity. Twitter said it’s committed to enforcing the merger agreement.
He already wanted on and then off the board. Then he offered to buy the company but isn’t so sure now. With the future of the firm – not to mention their own reputations – at stake, Twitter’s board cannot be fooled thrice.
In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … ?

Your words: “For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.” Waiting for you to upset the far right. We’ll wait…
