Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

 

The Cult would sooner see Twitter destroyed rather than be a platform for free speech.  May they get their wish.

It goes without saying that shareholders should vote out all the current directors at the first opportunity. They raise serious questions about their fiduciary duties and the possibility of SEC actions in the future. There is also the matter of share performance which can suffer because of adverse publicity.

Donald Link, agreed on all points…the problem I see is that financial institutions, which almost by definition have become part of the controlling oligarchy of this culture, are the biggest Twitter shareholders, along with Musk and, as was revealed this week, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. (That one is most interesting, isn’t it?)
But your point about the Directors’ fiduciary duties is the one that came to my mind as soon as I read about the “poison pill.” I have to be careful here, as I have no direct experience in shareholder litigation, only the experience of learning about it in school and then, over the years, reading with some interest the occasional item in legal news sources about such cases. That disclaimer out of the way, my recollection is that the adoption of a poison pill resolution in the wake of a hostile takeover proposal is, at the very least, an invitation for a shareholder derivative suit against the Board. Some legal commentators view it as a move of desperation that all but creates a rebuttable presumption of fiduciary duty violation, since the Board appears to be acting in its own interest, not that of the shareholders at large. Attorneys who are experienced in shareholder derivative cases are, I am sure, not only salivating over this one, but likely have begun drawing up their lawsuits and activating their advertising networks to solicit clients. (I didn’t really say that…of course lawyers don’t solicit clients, that would be unethical…/sarc off.)

JIM TREACHER: Musk Triggers Mass Journophrenia. Journos love free speech unless it’s yours. “If the journos had their way, you never would’ve known anything about Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop full of incriminating evidence of his ongoing criminal conspiracy with his father. Because having that information might make you vote the wrong way. And that’s fascism! Stop bringing up facts that make Democrats look bad, you Nazi.”

Take Orwell to a new level.

For those morons, “censorship is free speech.” The most stupidest part about it: those morons think we are [expletive-deleted] stupid as are they are.

As much as I wished to laugh at the parody it can’t happen because it is what it is.

Prayers for Elon.
Be that hammer thrown into the brainwashing screen in the 1984 Orwell commercial by Nike.

Bring it ON.

To quote my boys, “She said the thing!” I imagined it was a meme, a dig or joking paraphrase of what they said. Nope. She said it. I wish I could say at least she admitted it, but I have a feeling what she said was completely lost on her and the gang since I think they all sincerely believe it beyond being self-aware.

I remember that hammer thrown into the Big Brother screen from the the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984.

Heard a leftist talking head spout on the car radio “Musk is like a super villain, he says he has a plan B..”

I spontaneously yelled:
“NO THAT MEANS HE’s AN ENGINEER!!”
and a dam good one too.

How the h- do these morons think we keep the lights on without a Plan B, C and D.
Idiots.
