Twitter refuses Musk's bid to buy Twitter.

Now they'll continue to sue him to buy Twitter.

Do they want the trial to go on for some reason?

Maybe they think they can get a big penalty from him without selling the company?

Schizophrenic-er.

Conspiracy theory peeps are saying, "They don't want to give up control before the midterms."

I tend to believe they are worried he might try to back out again, and thus, force them to start the whole process over again.

I don't know why you can't sign a petition saying your future boss is a racist nazi or whatever, and then have the guy decide he doesn't want to pay you any more. It just doesn't make any sense at all. Fucking elon.

I have little/no doubt that if Musk wanted to id someone using twitter, he just would do it. Like maybe that private flight tracking guy. I 0% trust Elon to not abuse his access.

I do not work there, but I would bet you anything they do. Just like they did/do at Snapchat.

Since Elon announced the $8/month blue check plan, the #1 people complaining about it have been celebrities and politicians (almost all being on the left because "Elon = Hitler"), all of whom can afford it, and all of whom have blue checkmarks.

Their anti-capitalist stance and 180 change of opinion regarding how a private entity can censor free speech aside...I really wish I had a time machine and could change scenarios then show people how the reactions change. Had Twitters previous owners enacted this $8 blue check plan the same people bashing it now would be defending it and vice versa. Especially if it had been done as a way to try and prevent Elon from buying Twitter.

Get Trump to rail against the price increase. Their heads will explode trying to decide who they want to defy, more.
