This bullshit again..🤦♂️
They did something similar back in 2020. I hope he does kill it.
This is bad and it should be fixed.

I hope not Tumblr with those Wacos gone, tumblr has been pretty chill....yes even the furries.
Agreed. I mean isin't having the right to a fair trial and an attorney within the constitution? it seems like making it pay to win is kinda breaking the spirit of the law.

Elon Musk: Twitter won't 'take yes for an answer'
Twitter said it did not trust the billionaire's promises to proceed with the takeover.

In the latest act of this drama, Twitter is apparently backing away from taking the offer again.
I wonder if Elon knew this was coming when he offered to pay the original price again.

They can't sell before midterms. They need to censor and lie as much as possible beforehand. They will probably sell the day after the vote.

As much as I don’t want to side with the twits, it’s pretty reasonable to want to continue the court case when Musk is notoriously mercurial and has taken no verifiable action to actually put the financing necessary for the deal into action. I would not agree to suspend the case unless there was an actual done deal, not just an informal offer.Elon Musk: Twitter won't 'take yes for an answer'

A total creep
It could be leftards stalling to keep their campaign of lies going to the mid terms (but that's only a month away, right?).
Another possibility is that the legal scumbag hellbound filth is influencing their "employers" to drag out the process. The lawyers won't make money if the case is closed quickly.
In RL I've seen a relatively simple case be dragged out for years by the "legal counsel" of both sides.
EDIT:
Maybe Twitter "the company" has a faction war, where a part of the stockholders and/or of the management wants to sell, while the rest doesn't? Hence "mixed signals"?
Also - is Musk Chaotic Neutral?

If he actually does it, and then keeps his promises to A) fire the bulk of Twitter employees and B) end the rampant cancel culture mentality that presently govens its moderation... and those are are some big 'ifs'... then it'll be the single most useful thing he's done in his career.
Also the most amusing.

Twitter Employees Apparently Published a List of Demands of their potential new CEO.
Interesting, so all this time Twitter employees were "serving the public conversation" in their view.

Of course they believe they're white knights. Their enemies are evil dragons and demons where any tactic is allowed.Interesting, so all this time Twitter employees were "serving the public conversation" in their view.
They're completely wrong, but that's what they believe.

This might sound strange, but Musk getting hold of Twitter could be the most devastating blow the current paradigm has suffered.
More than Brexit.
More than Trump.
Losing one of their favourite toys and primary narrative shapers is one Hell of a punch to the gut.
Given what I've seen on Twitter, I'm not nearly as optimistic that Musk removing the left wing tilt toward it will be some crippling blow to the left. In my observation people engaging and "discussing" politics on Twitter are the biggest collection of brainrotted morons in existence. It's like The View, if the show hosts had spent their formative years eating lead paint and huffing gas. Trying to reach out to them on a platform that is intentionally designed to discourse deep, meaningful conversations and instead incentives pared down, thoughtless cliches is pointless.
The only thing an uncensored twitter will do for the right is make them think "oh heavens, these people can vote" about thier own side and the left, instead of just about the left.

The US government is considering a national security review of Elon Musk's $44 billion Twitter acquisition, report says. If it happens, Biden could ultimately kill the deal.
President Biden has the ability to cancel the Twitter deal if it's subject to a national security review. Elon Musk has tried to back out of the deal.
www.businessinsider.com
Could Biden do this even though it is going through? Musk buying Twitter.
If the buy is blocked on NatSec grounds, that is openly admitting that a lot of the activities on Twitter are different brands of glowies bumping up against each other, and with Embassies/politicans using twitter, they do not want it going back into private hands because it will hurt psy-ops/surveillance campaigns of multiple entities.
