    LOL, I love this. Mainly because I very very very much couldn't care less if Twitter goes away. But also Musk's track record helps defend his catalytic approach to fix a bloated company.

          Elon is drunk.

          Can't spell "Kathy" and Jordan"

          At least he got "Bee" right.

                        2 million votes in and Reinstate Trump is winning 60/40

                        It's as if the guy never loses.

                                    That last bit makes sense for investors to have wanted in the papers. Though in the crazy days of SPACs they might not have been so discerning.
