A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Shareholders are only beholden to the value of their shares. The offer was simply too good to pass.
Now the muskrat is the only shareholder and apparently he's happier without decorum.
He's still beholden to the banks that helped fund the purchase and has to make interest payments.
He can just sell some more TSLA ...
The banks don't care how much Twitter is specifically worth, just that they get their money from somewhere. They'll happily find Musk burning a company down if they're also confident that he'll be able to pay off his loans from somewhere else
