He got in over his head, no impulse control (as shown with his many kids), and was also likely trying to game the system for stocks. I hope they don't let him get away with it. 

There were also a lot of dumbasses and hatemongers and grifters like Babylon Bee, Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin who got booted from their Twitter accounts and were likely hoping he would come to their rescue. I hope they never get to come back.

It’s a contract, so whoever is proven to be the one who bailed out of the contract must pay the $1B breakup fee. Musk is trying to make Twitter be responsible for the fee and Twitter is defending their position, so the only real option is pay or sue so as to not to have to pay. I could be mistaken but I don’t think there is an option for both parties to walk away without either party paying the fee.

More media lies. Biden then said to let him talk. 

The media will never miss an opportunity to paint the worst portrait for anyone who isn't on the right. They hate us and they never stop wanting to see us extinguished.

Glenn Kessler, the gleefully obtuse "Five Pinocchios" 'fact-checker' guy from the WP who has zero sense of context and constantly does false equivalencies to benefit the GOP, got himself in a mess today following the lead of a WSJ editorial which tried to 'debunk' Biden's story of the ten-year-old girl who was forced to get an abortion after being raped. Then a perpetrator was identified. Well:

Kessler attempts to whitewash his original article, then notes he will not be reading comments lol:

Followed by...

And blaming everyone else for him just believing the WSJ/the local Republican legislature, like the Ohio AG who is also walking back his claims today:

This is the WSJ editorial Kessler was chasing, which has also been updated:

    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
