Musk Take’s Over:
IT IS FINISHED: Twitter Formally Accepts Elon Musk's Takeover Bid»»
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, Twitter will become a privately held company.
Under the terms of the agreement, Twitter stockholders will receive $54.20 in cash for each share of Twitter common stock that they own upon closing of the proposed transaction. The purchase price represents a 38% premium to Twitter’s closing stock price on April 1, 2022, which was the last trading day before Mr. Musk disclosed his approximately 9% stake in Twitter.
Bret Taylor, Twitter’s Independent Board Chair, said, “The Twitter Board conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Elon’s proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty, and financing. The proposed transaction will deliver a substantial cash premium, and we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter’s stockholders.”
Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CEO, said, “Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.”
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” said Mr. Musk. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”
Musk acquired Twitter, at the price he proffered, and barely even broke a sweat.
First tweet after acquisition:
I'm surprised this happened so fast. I’m cautiously optimistic about the implications. Perhaps Musk's pace here signals that we may see more free speech and unbanning happen sooner than some expect as well. We'll see. No point buying it if he's not gonna make changes, after all.

Biden Hunter’s:
Another Email Shows the Depths of the Hunter Biden Dysfunction»»
We’ve seen so much of the “laptop from hell” — as author Miranda Devine termed it — it’s hard to imagine that there continue to be emails that can top the dysfunction that we know was there in the Biden family. But Fox is reporting an email that shows how problematic things got between Hunter Biden and his lover/brother’s widow Hallie Biden as their relationship went downhill in July of 2018.
In an email titled, “YOU NEED TO GET TESTED FOR HIV HALLIE,” obtained by Fox News Digital, Hunter demanded that Hallie get tested for HIV and inform him of the results that day. The email also accused Hallie of turning Hunter’s niece against him and called on Hallie to seek “serious long term professional help.”
“You need to inform me of the result. TODAY,” Hunter wrote at the time. “I am getting tested today. I have been sick scared Hallie and you [hang] up on me. The love you give is so disturbing.”
“I love you [Hallie] even when you’re cruel,” he added. “GET TESTED AND TELL ME RESULTS Today.”
In earlier email exchanges that same month, Hallie called Biden a “passive aggressive a–hole” and Hunter advised her to “focus on your sobriety.”
“I hope you have someone to turn to in bed in my brothers’ house and that that act of love can be for him or her or them and not a secret someone,” Hunter wrote to Hallie on July 15, 2018. “And don’t feel as if you lost the two best men you or anyone could have ever even dreamed of.”
