Please Twitter, for the sake of my auto wipers! Please agree to be bought.

Twitter definitely agrees to be bought!
It’s a question of whether or not Elon actually buys. He says he’ll buy according to the terms of the agreement but his whole argument for killing the deal is that he doesn’t have to buy due to the terms of the agreement. So I’m betting Twitter is going to need to get some more commitment before suspending their case.

I was being sarcastic. Tesla did the battery swap demo only for qualifying for some government assistance program at that time.
You mean BTX6 the treadmill? Great idea. Have the car drive you while you work out and generate electricity? Huh, wont be surprised if anyone else has clued onto this one already.

What? What?
See this is why I had avoided this thread. Time to take a Tylenol and a nap before a meeting I have late evening.

It seems to me he is thinking about the users, and the exposure to all the crap that is on Twitter now. Sitting and waiting for it to go through the court process could be a hassle that delays actually helping people.
We all know that Elon puts people before dollars, every time.
It may be as simple as that. He can afford it, so why haggle over the price when he can just get to work and spend his time fixing things instead of being deposed for the case in court.

This. He’s not letting perfect be the enemy of good.

Too bad the genius didn't figure that out months ago. Funny though, I thought all this was brilliant maneuvering to get it at a better price, i.e. about money.

Perhaps not just the PJI Elon is concerned about?
That would be one large “Yoink!”
This reply made me laugh:

The trial is in two weeks and is scheduled to take a week. That’s three weeks and the world needs saving now!4-D chess, IOW.
Makes total sense! I do this a lot with charitable efforts in my life as well. I pick a needy cause, I commit to donate a lot of money, then I tell them “psych!” once they’ve committed to using it. They sue me and I mock their entire cause publicly for months while I try to get out of my donation. I ask that the court dates be extended longer. Then, I finally realize the world needs good things and just agree to donate the money because I care about the people and not the money.
Best philanthropist ever.

While you are "mocking their entire cause," are you and others bringing up actual legal problems with what the "needy cause" is doing and which is negatively affecting most of the people they are claiming to be providing a service for?
Oh, wait, you were being sarcastic, weren't you?
Never mind.
I honestly thought you were, too. Was just doing a “yes, and.” My bad on the read.Oh, wait, you were being sarcastic, weren't you?
