A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

He is the only share owner. He bought the whole company.
Oh shit, I thought he just bought a majority stake in it. Sucks that he's able to disrupt so many employees' lives in the process of his tantrums & acid trip ideas.
The second largest investors in Elon's Twitter are the Saudis. They might not take kindly to such antics.
The Saudi Arabians have hated Twitter for over a decade now thanks to the role it played in the Arab Spring movement. I wouldn't be surprised if they helped Elon buy it just to kill it.
Yes, that does make a lot of sense. A few billion to take down Twitter is a great investment for them.
