>'Everyone on his side now thinks he's a bastion of free speech, and he can forever say "If I owned Twitter, I would have...".'

Doesn't he kind of forfeit that bragging right if he tries to walk away from the deal though?

>"Twitter got what they wanted. They didn't want Elon to own the company, but they also couldn't ignore the offer."

What happens to their stock price after this though if this deal doesn't happen? Hasn't it basically been flat or trending down for some time before this current situation? Doesn't Twitter still have all the same problems they had before this current circus started?

Also is there a possibility that if that deal doesn't happen there becomes a bigger spotlight on Twitter's future filings in regards to their quoted percentage of "fake or spam accounts on Twitter’s platform"?

Look at this thread, you'll find enough of his fan calling this a victory because it will expose how corrupt Twitter is or whatever. Reason, common sense and the frigging obvious don't have a grip in their minds.

I actually don't think so, he gets it more because "liberal big tech tried to screw him and he was smart enough to walk away"
