it's all theater, it's only purpose is to replace hard negotiations at a table with people facing each other and working things out face to face...because it's practically impossible for any of these people to tell the truth about anything.
i couldn't care less about musk or the board of directors of twitter, if they were all killed tomorrow in a blimp accident, my only reaction would be "really? a blimp?...weird."....
who i do care about are the little people who try to get ahead in this politically hostile world by investing what little spare money they have, who are then wiped out when these fucking assholes decide to perform some kabuki theater. a lot of the little people are investing in funds, where they have little control of the actual investments, so all the actual notice they get is a letter from their investment companies that tell them "sorry, we made a poor choice and now you're penniless. have a nice day, soon to be homeless person."
