Correction: Even if Musk is Forced to Buy Twitter, the State Still Owns It

 https://alrenous.blogspot.com/2022/07/musk-cant-buy-twitter-because-its-state.html

The State can eat the cake they already sold to you. They keep the money, and you don't get the cake. What are you going to do, sue them in State courts, petitioning "judges" on State payrolls with State credentials? Have fun with that...if it's not fun, you're wasting your time.

Musk can "own" Twitter all he wants, but the State will make "common-sense" regulations until Musk is forced to do exactly what Twitter was already doing. Or whatever particular path the government will choose: it can also use CIA infiltrators, wink-wink nudge-nudge, lobbying, astroturf petitions, open assassination threats...

 

Ironically it seems Musk was forced to buy Twitter by the State's own rules. He drunk-posted an offer, and the State's [3-month-profit-or-else] rule not only forced Twitter to accept it, it forced Twitter to sue Elon to continue to make the offer.  

Ironically, this is the kind of thing that you get with divine meddling. "We want the effects of Musk buying Twitter, but he will back down if we leave him to his own initiative. How can we 4D chess him, using his own ignorance..." Bam, mission accomplished. 

Given the heavens are smarter than me (just a touch) it is likely I have no idea what the point of Musk buying Twitter is, providentially speaking. I merely know I will be entertained.
