Twitter bans ads that contradict scientific consensus on climate change

Twitter bans ads that contradict scientific consensus on climate change
the stock market and even people who aren't even in the stock market have been captivated by the drama involving Elon musk And Twitter. Two weeks ago, he announced he had a 9% stake in the company this week, he announced he wants to buy the entire company. Twitter has enacted what is called a shareholder rights plan or a poison pill to either prevent him from taking over the company or the very least kind of slow him down. What this is designed to do is to stop a hostile takeover. So say Twitter rejects the existing bid from Musk for 54 20 a share Musk has the ability to just go to Twitter shareholders and say forget about the board. I'm offering you $54.20 a share. What do you say With the poison pill in place? Once he gets 15%, you know, once say a couple of year olds sell him 6% worth, which, which would bring him, that triggers this poison pill, which allows other shareholders to buy shares at a discount and you know, why wouldn't they buy shares cheaper than they are and then Ellen is going to pay them more money for those shares. So why wouldn't you do that and shareholders keep doing that, it just makes it a lot more expensive for him to purchase the company. That doesn't mean that the twitter won't eventually negotiate a deal with him. Um but they just gives them a little more sway and they can, you know, force him to increase his bid even though he has said 54 twenties his final offer, he's a person who's been known to change his mind so he could come in with a higher after.
