If you are a TWTR shareholder, then you should vote for this deal.

Just open a chart and see what a disaster TWTR stock is since transitioned into the Biden administration. The market (institution shareholders) is not stupid. The lower price is how the free market punish TWTR for their actions. They have lost a lot of their users due to many of their limited free speech and work with government actions.

I thought people were mad at Twitter for resisting the government, not working with it -- when they were pushing back against the president of the US.

I'm not sure I'd expect coherence from anyone who has a problem with Trump getting banned from Twitter.

The biggest problem twitter had there was that they had rules and then certain users with such a large following that they where unwilling to enforce them.

It took a literal insurrection on the capitol to do it.

I don't have a solution, moderation is inherently a problem for that case.

It's absolutely nothing to do with Biden. TWTR start sliding in October, 10 months after he took office. It's currently the same price as late 2020. It's almost like there is a war, another wave in the pandemic, and sudden inflation and those things are effecting the markets overall.

Twitter has underperformed the market overall.

Trump brought a lot of attention to twitter.
