It's interesting to speculate what he might do, everybody hanging on his next move. Could buy the entire company rather easily if he wanted
F-ing Legend!

If i bought Twitter i would make all the employees attend a seminar where they get taught about the Constitution and Bill of Rights and then have to pass a test afterwards to show they understand those things. And i would identify all the leftist fucks in the upper ranks and send them packing.

I don't see where this has anything to do with freedom of speech. All musk would be doing is deciding the rules for his business as opposed to how they were decided before he bought it. It's like kicking someone out of your house for swearing or not mind the swearing. There is no freedom of speech involved

There wouldn't be a board of directors, it be privately owned

Don, so how come they made such a big deal about him being on the "board"?
You sound busy savvy. Then he decided not to be.

I take that back, a privately held corporation would still have a board, but it certainly wouldn't be hostile towards Musk as the companies sole stockholder.

Twitter Currently is a publicly held business, Musk is just one of who knows how many shareholders. The boards duty is to look after the interests of all the shareholders. If Musk was to buy the company outright, that is, take it private then that be only him. He would have his own board

In terms of the article, it didn't really make sense for him to be on the board. He was there supposedly to look after the interests of all the shareholders, mocking the company could be viewed as a conflict with his duties.

That's the thing, far as I know, Twitter never tried to ban him or anything, he wasn't in conflict with Twitter. It was the SEC that would ride his ass.
