TFG finally found someone to spend their money to buy something he wants. He loves to spend other people’s money.

The question is academic for me as I have never had anything worth retweeting.

Anyway, too many open questions right now to have other than an emotional response.

Like, is this the board of Twitter finally realizing that their platform is cornered in an advertising dead end and losing market share?

Possibly they know there’s a slew of bipartisan regulations headed their way?

Maybe they are telling Musk to put up or shut up. The markets frown on insincere offers. Which Musk has a history of putting out.

My only advice to the twitter board… Gold up front. No cyber, nfts, or bridge trades.
