Mega-billionaire Elon Musk wants to buy out Twitter, and leftists are freaking out at the thought of their censorship regime potentially being on the brink of destruction.
Musk announced on Thursday that he made an offer to purchase Twitter for nearly $43 billion. That’s a nearly 40 percent premium over the closing price of the company’s stock at the beginning of the month.
The offer comes just days after Twitter announced Musk would no longer join its board of directors, a seat that would have prevented Musk from owning more than a 14.9 percent share of the company, per their agreement. Musk did not publicly comment on his reasoning for rejecting a seat at Twitter’s table, but his social media activity implied he felt forced out by Twitter officials who were not willing to sacrifice the company’s power over speech.
Twitter employees were already panicked at the possibility of Musk joining the company’s board. Now, many are publicly hyperventilating as they face completely losing their grip on a platform they can use to nuke their political enemies for saying a man is a man.
