Do you think the same Talking Point boys post on other types of forums? I sometimes think so. I personally believe a bunch of these accounts are the same account under a bunch of aliases. If NorCal Leo was here he would have sorted it out very quickly IMHO That guy was basically defensive moderator of the year every year, and our defensive rank was better. Trolls allowed, trolls attempted, all that stuff, all lower because he was on the field. The forum is one of the few actual right wing spaces on the whole free Internet, when you really think about it. There's a couple places, but only a couple. We've oftrn argued with the mod team on rules of engagement with trolls and a few other things, but when it comes down to it, they really are the best game in town. A little over a year ago o the day the site started to shudder, they had a lot of incentives to pack up their game ball and go home. Pack it in, call it quita. Thanks in part to those guys I personally believe my parents are alive. We may well look back on this in a few years and think, sure we didn't have Twitter, FB, but we did have a place to go before Elon's rebellion. |

They would have to be crazy to turn this down.
Just looking at a list of the top 10 twitter shareholders... Vanguard is the biggest. Musks offer would give them an extra billion dollars on top of the current value of their shares. I guess we will see if they are all truly in business to make money or not. |

I think this is one of the things Elon wants to prove. That the Tech billionaires are Wokesters 1st, and profits 3rd. Sure certain billionaires are all in on this, but quite a lot of them, let's say the older folks with a lot of money who are maybe been hoodwinked a little bit, this could be eye opening. "They CAN change, but they don't want to." Hard to unsee. |

Employees at various levels probably own very little stock in twitter since it has sucked for a long time. No confidence at all having drove it into the ground. If they owned some they would be all over Musk making it have value.

Major Twitter shareholder Prince Alwaleed bin Talal REJECTS Elon's $54.20-a-share offer to buy firm - but hints he'll reconsider if Tesla tycoon UPS his offer
 A Saudi prince who's a major shareholder in Twitter has rejected Elon Musk's offer to buy the firm while hinting that he wants more money. Alwaleed bin Talal made the announcement on Twitter itself Thursday morning, writing: 'I don't believe that the proposed offer by @elonmusk ($54.20) comes close to the intrinsic value of @Twitter given its growth prospects. Being one of the largest & long-term shareholders of Twitter, @Kingdom_KHC & I reject this offer.' KHC is the Saudi-based holding company bin Talal operates. He also shared a grab of a tweet from 2015, in which he announced Kingdom KHC had upped its stake in Twitter to 5.7 per cent. It is unclear how much the investment firm now owns. Musk - whose 9.2 per cent stake is the biggest of any shareholder - made his sensational bid for the company early Friday. Twitter's board of directors will be meeting soon to discuss Elon Musk's $41.39 billion hostile takeover bid, with the company saying it will 'carefully review the proposal'. The Twitter board will meet on Thursday at 1pm ET to consider Musk's bid to take the company private, and the company will hold an all-hands meeting to update staffers at 5pm, according to CNBC. Meanwhile, Musk is set to give a live interview with TED at 1pm. Shares of Twitter slumped in midday trading, dropping below Wednesday's closing price to $45.76 -- well below Musk's offer price, signaling that investors remain skeptical that his takeover bid will succeed. According to a regulatory filing, Musk launched his bid with a text message to Twitter board chair Bret Taylor on Wednesday, telling him he was preparing to send an offer letter and asking: 'Are you available to chat?'  In the follow-up call, Musk told Taylor that his bid was his final offer, saying 'I am not playing the back-and-forth game,' according to notes for the call. 'If the deal doesn’t work, given that I don’t have confidence in management nor do I believe I can drive the necessary change in the public market, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder,' Musk warned Taylor, the notes show. Twitter said in a statement: 'The Twitter Board of Directors will carefully review the proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the Company and all Twitter stockholders.' Musk's offer price of $54.20 per share represents a 38 percent premium to the closing price of Twitter's stock on April 1, the last trading day before the Tesla CEO publicly revealed his 9.2 percent stake in the company, sending the stock popping. The offer figure also includes the digits '420,' a reference to marijuana that Musk frequently jokes about. More |
