        Simply reversing Elon’s decisions would bring back advertisers and engineers, and the media would paint them as the Messiah for saving “the Internet’s public square”.

        And for 90% off the ticket price? Why not

          They already made more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime.

          Secondly that 13 Billion with a B debt isn’t going away just because the website formerly known as Twitter is worthless.   That’s 1 Billion in interest even if it ain’t worth shit yearly.

            Yeah, it’s easy to forget but it was a leveraged buyout meaning that a lot (all?) of the debt is Twitter’s, not Elon’s.

        Maybe they could use it to swindle some other mega rich bastard, just the way they robbed Musk.
