He is a bit weird. It's lucky he is taking Twitter private because he is a nightmare to shareholders.

After concerns about plans to weaken moderation, Elon Musk has been invited to appear before a Commons Select Committee regarding his intention to purchaseTwitter..

Julian Kinight, who chairs the DCMS panel, will be asking him to explain how he will be balancing his commitment to free speech with the forthcoming obligations on websites to protect users from harm under the Online Safety Bill.

The online end of free speech bill is a joke

Re: Elon Musk buys Twitter for $44 Billion
 

Having the right to free speech is not incompatible with not harming others in any way to any extent.

We don't have the right to say what we want, to who we want and when we want right now and for very good reason.

The genie is already out of the bottle, but when you go down the road of trying to legislate around a totally subjective issue, it’s the road to hell.

I have to go, the thought police are at the door.

NEW: Elon Musk has vowed to reverse the Twitter ban of former U.S President Donald Trump, declaring it morally wrong and flat out stupid.

Trump had vowed weeks ago that he wouldn’t return to Twitter, even if Elon removed the ban.

That is only how he is going to realise his mistake. It is going to backfire on him big time.

It's an important detail, and part of the valuation of the company. To accurately know many actual users there are so any advertisers know the size of audience they're reaching.

Re: Elon Musk buys Twitter for $44 Billion
 

Or he is trying to get the price down by tanking the shares. Down 25% already.

Remember Telsa shares have also dropped quite a bit since he announced he was buying Twitter and it was against that equity he was borrowing against. So not only is $44 billion a lot of money it became a bigger fraction of his worth since the day of the announcement of the takeover.

It is but this is what is done as part of due diligence before you commit to buying. It's weird he is at this stage and now he suddenly wants to do it.
