I don't like that Musk is in charge, but Twitter is already rotten to the core so I don't really mind that people who are responsible for that rot are getting axed.... even if the result is just more rot.

Oh boy, the shareholders are not going to be happy when companies stop paying for ads on Twitter, after he reinstates Donald Trump's account.

Indeed. He pulled a Bruce Wayne from Batman Begins and bought the majority of the shares last I checked, thus hes free to take the company private if he so chooses.

Ah, right. Fair enough. Well at the very least it won't be a money make for him, but guess he probably saw that coming...

People need to stop caring if "the shareholders" are happy or not. They're frequently very happy when companies do horrible shit to boost profits at the expense of human rights and human dignity. Not saying I think Musk's takeover will be a good thing, but rather that society's standards for what counts as a "good thing" are way out of balance.

My point was that they wouldn't be happy if advertisers dropped twitter. Guess as majority owner, that won't really matter to Elon, but still won't make them happy.
