    Twitter's 'Poison Pill'

    Twitter is trying to thwart billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover attempt with a “poison pill” — a financial device that companies have been wielding against unwelcome suitors for decades.

    WHAT ARE POISON PILLS SUPPOSED TO DO?

    The ingredients of each poison pill vary, but they’re all designed to give corporate boards an option to flood the market with so much newly created stock that a takeover becomes prohibitively expensive. The strategy was popularized back in the 1980s when publicly held companies were being stalked by corporate raiders such as Carl Icahn — now more frequently described as “activist investors.”

    Twitter didn’t disclose the details of its poison pill Friday, but said it would provide more information in a forthcoming filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which the company delayed because public markets were closed Friday.

    The San Francisco company’s plan will be triggered if a shareholder accumulates a stake of 15% or more. Musk, best known as CEO of electric car maker Tesla, currently holds a roughly 9% stake.

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Yeah, but he had to know that was coming next. Does anybody here really think there aren't wheels within wheels?

        Something doesn't need to be a great insight to be important. Take the Michelson-Morley experiment for example, it's not exactly great insight to say that "ether" does not exist and many people have said just that, yet it takes a lot of painstaking work to prove its non-existence and that proof is monumentally important to advance humanity's understanding of the physical world.

        That would be a good contribution to a discussion about scientific theories.

            That's certainly part of it. I recall when the kids were trapped in the cave in Thailand and he made a very public and very heroic and very impractical offer to send in a submarine to save them.

              And then heroically accused somebody who was helping in a much more practical way of being a pedophile. Allegedly.

              Another great victory for freedom of speech.

                This is only about free speech insofar as Twitter is not really a fan currently. But who actually thinks Musk is some kind of first amendment advocate aside from internet morons?

                  His goal was to make who rule the twitter world and those who use the twitter world to all agree that free speech is bad.

                  Why would he do that?

                  We can only hope that none of the talent on our news outlets give in to the temptation to speculate.

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            Go get 'em, tiger.

                            Twitter has seriously underperformed, in part due to it banning or seriously curtailing some people who had millions of followers... Trump, Tucker, Bongino, etc.

                              That's like saying a backup quarterback sucks ass. Compared to the most popular social media platforms on the planet, Twitter's still in the top 10, and 1 in 7 Americans use it regularly. That ain't nothin'.

                              And banning Trump has nothing to do with its not being #1. Nothing at all. Scads of conservatives are on there and have no problem with the platform. It's simply not as entertaining to use as YouTube, not as personal as Facebook, and not as addictive as TikTok.

                                    It's a common fallacy among people who don't use Twitter to believe the platform is exactly like it's portrayed in outrage porn articles.

Individuals, influencers, small companies, non-profits, corporations... they use the platform and couldn't care less that Donald Drumpf was banned.

                                          Twitter is leaving meat on the bone.
