2% is still a billion worth of stock, at 15% cap gains it's $150 million in tax revenue.4th and Inches said:the current board actually owned less than 2% of Twitter if you dont count Jack DorseyIron Claw said:
As for the current BODβ¦
They have many thousands (millions?) of shares and possibly warrants/rights, etc. They will have to sell them to Musk and be subject to millions in cap gains tax. So fitting for them to pay "their fair share" because Musk forced their hand.

I agree with all of Shapiro's other points but I don't know if Musk wants to appear vindictive which that might appear.Cobretti said:Here's what Musk should do:
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 26, 2022
- Truth and reconciliation commission revealing past manipulation;
- Algorithmic transparency;
- Fire a LOT of people.
The last is the most crucial -- if you leave in place the woke progressives who control implementation, leadership matters little.

I really hope Mr Musk reads this board to get all the experts of SicEm's advice. I have never controlled a place of over 50 employees but I think Mothra is right about not firing employees that were good workers but varying viewpoints. I valued these type.of employees more than the ones that shared or pretended to share all.my opinions. I ever had reason to consult them but found i learned from those that disagreed with me. This is just a comment. I am sure the new boss knows what he is doing.
I am glad this has happened. I was told many times this couldn't be done as "conservatives" begged for government intervention and socialism.

Amazon Web Services has the same commitment.

I have no skin in the game. I dont have a ttwitter account and the only tweets I see are those that shooter and some of the others are constantly posting.

Taking away tax-exempt status and creating a level playing field is lack of govt. intervention, just FYI. It's govt. intervention that put the special tax-exempt status in place. Thus, it was actually you who was for special treatment for twitters (i.e. govt. intervention and socialism).

But even if your whiteness protects you, it won't protect me. Or my sources. I have to assume that anything I DM or is DM'd to me could now be "leaked" or "hacked" or "whoopsie'd" to Stone or Breitbart or Newsmax or Mediaite or any white wing actor or organization looking for it.

Thanks for reading my mind and calling me a liar. You are wrong. I am happy the market won out without having the government tell Tweet owners how to run their company. I know freedom is a difficult concept for some that relish the idea of making everyone conform to their image.

Your exactly right. Try and post an article about the BLM leader who spent millions on real estate / mansions ... Facebook will not allow it ... against "community standards."Doc Holliday said:
The left isn't worried about getting censored...they're worried about not being able to censor who they disagree with.
They have a major fear that if they don't have complete control of the conversation then American public disagree with them. Deep down they know this is the case.
