The transaction is expected to close in 2022, subject to the approval of Twitter stockholders, the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The twitter shareholders also have to vote on it but I can't imagine why they wouldn't approve it

I figure that the board of directors had just enough time to get our politicians in line to stop it -- that is why they rolled over so quickly.

Maybe the libs think that if they completely block the sale before the election they will get more votes....makes no sense to me but completely opening the border with the mid term coming up makes no sense to me either.... really none of the agenda makes sense from the election is soon perspective to me at all...

I wonder what, if any, part DeSantis saying he would go after the board might have played in the deal.

Trump says he won't go back on Twitter, he's going to just use his truth plus platform.

Amazon founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos on Monday mulled whether China has gained leverage over what happens on Twitter now that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has secured a $44 billion deal with the social media company.
"Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage of the town square?" Bezos tweeted in response to a New York Times reporter who noted Tesla’s reliance on China for its large market and lithium batteries.

The left is also saying that musks takeover of twitter is racist...

This is not a done deal. They will be throwing all sorts of things at the wall to see if any sticks well enough for the government to block the deal.

Thats ironic of Bezos, he provides Chinas biggest sales platform Amazon, Do you think they have some leverage on him ? and he bought the Washington Post and that was fine with the liberals.

It does not matter if something makes sense it matters if they can get a majority of people to believe what they are passing off as a reason to block the sale.

The radical left should love Elon Musk!

Why? Because he is an African-American!

He was born in South Africa and now lives here.

He is supposedly going to make it a free speech platform. Anything that makes it harder for them to censor free discussions and ideas is a good thing in my book.

So how can we lose? Really, it couldn't get worse, right? He claims he's pro free speech, soooooo, so far its a win, right? Oh and that thing in the pizza box is not a little table.

Free speech is a convoluted topic. There are MANY things that are technically considered free speech, that are protected by the constitution, that should not by any means be allowed on any “social media” outlet. Elon has his work cut out for him navigating what will and will not be allowed to make it a platform where the vast majority of the world agrees that it is acceptable to say it allows free speech.

Conservatives lose because they are putting all their hope into elon leveling the field, instead of doing the hard work necessary to tip things their way. That = more conservatives disenfranchised and staying home in november. Look I don't know it just seems fishy to me.
