      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.
