OP was spouting a bunch of nonsense implying that Elon tanking Twitter’s value somehow was going to end up with him profiting.

In the United States, publicly traded companies have responsibilities to timely and accurately report their financials. By Elon taking the company private, Twitter no longer has those fiduciary requirements.

That’s why I was pointing out how stupid OP was being, and banging on so hard on the public vs private company thing. Elon has, by all accounts, lost tens of billions of dollars in this whole ordeal.

Because he’s lost so much money I find it incredibly ridiculous people think this is some kind of conspiracy. Less people use it, the company is looked upon less and less favorably, and it’s reputation is in tatters. If you’re trying to make a platform to brainwash people into being racist the last thing you’d want is LESS people using it

It really wasn’t.

Great. So we agree. Twitter was a pubic company that is now a private company.

Glad we worked through that

The fiduciary and reporting responsibilities of public companies are drastically different than private.

Musk bought all of the shares, then took the company private, meaning all of those fiduciary and reporting responsibilities are no longer required.

Your understanding how public and private companies in the United States work is lacking.

What is public? A 501c3? c6? A government run organization like the post office? What legal and compliance frameworks did Twitter have to follow when it was publicly traded vs now when it’s not publicly traded. In your terms it was “private” in both instances. So please, educate me. How is Twitter different now

Let’s assume that’s true.

Let’s also assume Twitter collapses under its own weight within the next year.

How does that further Elon’s secret goal of spreading his brand of fascism and racism.

The fact you admit you’re using your own definition of publicly owned, instead of the legal definition of that word in the country in which it applies, and then double down with a bunch of “facts” you don’t understand, while really pouring on the condescension, is simply an amazing execution of trolling.

The sad thing, though, is I don’t think you’re trolling. I think you believe what you just said is true.

Twitter always sucked, and always will suck. Explain to me, in pornographic detail, how this is some huge conspiracy, what the end goal of that conspiracy is, and who is perpetuating it.

Twitter was literally a public company. Musk bought all the stock and took it private.

The amount of stupidity in this comment is worthy of it being posted on X

He bought Twitter.

There are plenty of people who were affected by that

Ranting about your issue on a post about someone else’s issue isn’t cool.

If you’d like to talk about policing victim’s language, or even your friend who is struggling, that is fine. This is a big platform and there’s space for that.

OP has a legit issue and a legit gripe. It’s a shitty thing to try to make this thread about something else.

It’s because you didn’t out smart her, you out asshole’d her.
