I don't feel the need to caveat my posts with 'within the bounds of the law and contractual commitments etc'....
Nah what I mean is he’s got a yard of interest to pay a year so he’s gonna have to have it make money which is not going to be easy and that will dictate what he does.
"Dictate" in the sense of behaving like a spoilt brat when the world doesn't bend to his whims and ignorance of how stuff works.

He doesn't seem to understand what he's bought.
"You users can just disappear, I don't care" doesn't work alongside selling ad space.
Vanguard, Blackrock et al must be well happy to bank Muskrat's financial backers' cash. Ker-ching.
Is this S-IP individual one of the biggest con artists of current times? Here, I've got these increasingly rad ideas, c'mon gimme your money. Example, Tesla share price : actual earnings ratio history.
Twitter co-founder and ex-CEO Jack Dorsey has addressed the mass sackings at his former firm, apologising for growing Twitter "too quickly".
Half of the social media giant's staff are being fired, a week after Elon Musk bought it in a $44bn deal.
Billionaire Mr Musk has said he had "no choice" but to slash the company's workforce as the firm is losing more than $4m (£3.5m) a day.
Twitter staff took to the platform to express their anger at the firings.
In a statement posted on the microblogging site, Mr Dorsey - who quit as CEO in November and left the board of directors in May - said Twitter staff "are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize [sic] many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize [sic] for that."
"I am grateful for, and love, everyone who has ever worked on Twitter. I don't expect that to be mutual in this moment...or ever…and I understand," he added.
His statement appeared to endorse the need for dismissals at the firm. The 45-year-old Mr Dorsey has been supportive of Mr Musk's takeover.
Back in April when Mr Musk first began his purchase of Twitter, Mr Dorsey said the 51-year-old was the "singular solution I trust" and that the South African's takeover was "the right path...I believe it with all my heart".
Mr Dorsey created Twitter in 2006 along with Evan Williams, Biz Stone, and Noah Glass. He sent the company's first Tweet, writing "just setting up my twttr".
The cuts have come across Twitter's 7,500-strong work force, and there are fears it could damage the firm's content moderation efforts.
Despite the dismissals Mr Musk has said the firm's policies remain "absolutely unchanged".
A host of major brands have halted advertising spending with Twitter in recent days, including Volkswagen, General Motors and Pfizer.
Almost all of Twitter's revenue currently comes from advertising, and Mr Musk has been looking for ways to cut costs and make money in different ways from the platform, including plans to charge a monthly $8 (£7) subscription fee for users to be verified on the platform.
I looked at that thread and it reminded me why I dropped Twitter 10 years ago.
It’s just a horrible medium of loads of noise. I find some interesting stuff linked through external sources that I will read, but I find myself wondering how (or why) anybody bothers sifting through the sheer volume of censored to find it.
Twitter is beyond my comprehension. I only ever used it for a while when club rides were being organised on it.
Mind you, it’s nice to be reminded that you haven’t changed your mind and missed out on something for years.

I can understand that view point, I don't have an account myself, but I do find it useful to do key searches for bleeding/cutting edge info. To be honest the majority of tweets I see are from people quoting on here to backup their stance/argument.
I mean they just offer ETFs and indexes so it’s hardly them gaining, right?
What I was indicating was the funds have locked away gains made on their gamble investments thanks to Saudi / whoever's cash backing of the muskrat before the bubble bursts.

They’re big shareholders because they have such monster passive businesses - they just buy everything for very low fees. It’s not so much a gamble as just holding everything.

Normal caveats apply, but...

Nah, he's just doing Cabbage Truss. Chutzpah & hubris rolled into one.

Sorry it's a long quote, but it is relevant.
At least he has a sense of humour.
Maybe the reason I’m destined to never be mega rich is I don’t see the opportunity in deals like this.
He didn't like Twitter censoring Trump.
He made an offer to buy it, out of hubris.
He then thought he could either force the price down, or back out.
A US court held him to the deal.
He's ended up with something he never really wanted, nor has the skill to run.
He's screwing everything up.
12:30 in. In his own words.

but I could already hear the discord in your head.
They’re not big winners in this.
Why not list all the asset managers? The only reason BlackRock and vanguard are the biggest holders is because of their monster passive businesses.
We gonna go mention the big Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Funds while we’re at it?
