He is the only share owner. He bought the whole company.

Oh shit, I thought he just bought a majority stake in it. Sucks that he's able to disrupt so many employees' lives in the process of his tantrums & acid trip ideas.

The second largest investors in Elon's Twitter are the Saudis. They might not take kindly to such antics.

The Saudi Arabians have hated Twitter for over a decade now thanks to the role it played in the Arab Spring movement. I wouldn't be surprised if they helped Elon buy it just to kill it.

Yes, that does make a lot of sense. A few billion to take down Twitter is a great investment for them.
