The frowny face is what gets me, like they’re pouting that the women in the sketches didn’t make their penis hard :(

But they literally HAVE a fiduciary obligation. I agree with you that people use that as an excuse for heinous shit, but in this case they had a formal, legally binding offer. Musk was in breach of contract and they sued for specific performance or damages. Musk didn’t want to pay the damages. If they didn’t sue, Twitter would forfeit I think $1bn in damages and their stock would tank. Not suing would open the door for hostile investors to come in, pretend to buy, back out when they wanted to and time the stock movements. I get what you’re saying, but this is a case where if the board didn’t sue then Twitters shareholders pay for it.

You and I may agree that they never should have been in that place to begin with but that’s definitionally a fiduciary obligation

Ok? But that’s not what the Twitter board claimed. I agree with your premise but that isn’t what happened here.

Oh perfect! OP can probably just recreate that sound, even just slap a 3600rpm spinning disk drive in there for good measure. It’ll be familiar and cosy for them.

No, I don’t think that’s true. Twitters board had to sue for specific performance because Musk backed out of a formal offer in the late stages for fabricated reasons. It’s not like it was “sue musk or go to jail” but their job as board members comes with a fiduciary obligation, and musk was paying 38% over the share price. Twitter is FAR from blameless but sueing musk isn’t a failing https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2022/07/14/twitter-vs-musk-the-complaint/

They don’t have that feature out of the box but I bet you could configure them to do so. I’m sure there’s a “randomly beep and turn on in the middle of the night” lib somewhere.

Erase it. Join us.

Not that they are blameless - far from it - but they had a fiduciary responsibility to pursue the deal because it was good for their shareholders

It’s literally discussed in the Wikipedia definition…

Man I can’t wait for John Bolton to die.

I disagree with gravity. Can’t fly yet but I’m working on it. \s

Wait are you trying to tell me that the kid who took a gun he didn’t own to a state he didn’t live in to shoot protestors he didn’t know ostensibly to protect businesses he’s unaffiliated with wanted to kill people?? Wow I am shocked. Shocked!

Honestly of course he wanted to murder people, anyone who disputes that is and has always been deliberately lying.

16gb and a number less than 16gb both not being big enough numbers is making me crack up
