@chartier One has to wonder if the Twitter shareholders regret their decision to let Elon buy them out? Unless they all dumped their stock as soon as he came on board to take advantage of the early surge, which wouldn’t surprise me.
@rocknorris I'm not familiar with the details of the purchase. I kind of assumed it was a done-deal sort of thing, everyone cashed out in the sale and walked away. Now you have me curious.
