The Constitution isn't worth much right now, and it's up for sale, no less.

The commenter also included past presidents, which is silly. Once a president is a past president, he no longer controls that military apparatus.
The U.S. will never allow any former president to get prosecuted because the precedent is too severe. By all reasonable accounts, GW Bush should have been prosecuted for war crimes. Trump should have been prosecuted the moment he left office for a spectrum of crimes. There is even a strong argument that Obama should have been prosecuted for drone strikes on citizen combatants. But power protects power, and the moment…
It's just that in the meantime the rule of law in the US died and he was elected again.
If there are elections in 2028 and MAGA loses he's toast. Big if.

> I have no idea what corporate law is like in Texas. Nobody does, really. Texas is relatively new to its 'corporate registration friendly' game, and at least on paper the statutory law is the same. Texas courts don't have to follow Delaware's case history, but it's also not a given that they will rule in a vastly more owner-friendly manner.
To add on to this, Texas as part of this pitch is the promise of less oversight and they not following Delaware’s lead is a plus

No X shareholder in their right mind will object to getting a $45 billion valuation (including debt) when their latest valuations have the company at <$10 billion.
Twitter still has a lot of users and if they stopped being used by offensive at times racist and awful, then Twitter could get more users, sell advertising and make money probably. Now that's all gone because Twitter could investors need w own a small piece of the giant over inflated Xai, which has value because of AI hype but it's future actual value is questionable. There are so many other AI companies, so what is…
How'd that work out in the past with the previous owners?

Yeah these fantasies where musk would somehow go bankrupt by tanking Tesla and overpaying for Twitter were also wild He’s literally the richest person the earth has ever known. He’s never going to suffer financially. He has countless levers of power he can pull. The same fantasy applies to any past or current president ever spending a day in jail. He literally commands the most powerful military apparatus the world h…

> Even a sliver of that capability and influence ensures nobody will ever dare to try and slap some cuffs on him After 2028 elections, all of that umbrella cover will go away. Optimistically speaking it could happen as soon as after Nov of 2026 (midterms).
US is going to do the same thing Russia did with Putin.
If we end up having elections, its actually gonna be worse of long term, because despite tanking economy, most people aren't going to suffer that much, which means the pattern of Dems inheriting a shit economy, everything getting blamed on them again like with Biden, and then a smarter Republican comes along and its a repeat again in 2032.
I get a kick out of how the link in this story is "twitter.com" instead of "x.com". Personally, I think everyone should just continue to say "Twitter."
I do and I always will. I refuse to play along with corporate rebrands, be it Twitter, Facebook, Comcast, Charter or anything else.

I guess we'll see what matters when Trump orders the tanks to roll into Canada.
