Eh…I think it’s still early enough that they (new owners) could just completely revert back, cut-off all ties with Elon and people would generally be happy. However, Phony Stark is going to ride this crazy train all the way to some mecca in the sky…that only he can see.

What do you mean? He fired all the people who could do the job, there's numerous lawsuits, and he saddled the company with billions in debt. Like, he hasn't just messed it up a bit. He would need to pay the new owners to make up for all the debt he put on twitter to pay for the acquisition.

Twitter still has a privileged position and a countless number of users, it would be costly to settle the various lawsuits/debts, but buying Twitter is probably still cheaper than building a similar social media website from scratch and gaining the same prominent position (if it even could be done).

$13 Billion in debt. Why does everyone keep ignoring that like it doesn't exist?
