Elon Musk's Plan B - A Forced Checkmate for Twitter

Elon Musk is obsessed with the truth [47:50]. He has been most of his life. Truth is crucial when it comes to the physics of rocket science [48:00]. Without correct solutions, rockets crash, batteries fail, and satellites don't launch. However, Musk and his corporations have been successful and reflected the truth.

While everyone around us deals in double talk, Musk remains a straight shooter. While Twitter preaches woke-style inclusiveness, they scramble to exclude Musk from owning their company.

While our current US Administration preaches Freedom and Democracy for Ukraine, they lock down our own country and force unconstitutional mandates. And while our nation's forefathers guaranteed our right to free speech even while they disapproved of what we said, the current Oligarchy preaches censorship of 'misinformation' as our new foundation.

When one searches Google Trends, one notices the term misinformation only truly emerged in the nation's vocabulary in the Spring of 2020, coincident with the onset of the Pandemic. The word is a construct used by Big Media to justify the wholesale destruction of our First Amendment.

A rehearsed event, the Pandemic, was unleashed on the world for the benefit of a de facto ruling Oligarchy with the sole purpose of executing control over the masses.

With this Pandemic, emergency powers could be legally implemented that suspended many of our rights. So long as these powers continued, our beloved Democracy could operate as a Dictatorship.

These 'emergency powers' have continued to be invoked, although no emergency exists.

So long as propaganda and censorship continue, many will fall prey to the false narrative of the evening news and legacy media. In addition, the Oligarchy will continue its agenda through the ongoing use of planned emergencies.

For this to succeed, all major communications outlets need to be in the hands of the State and its fascist corporate partners. Google, YouTube, Facebook, CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic must be on board, and most importantly, also Twitter.

Because allowing free speech on Twitter would be more than the fly in the ointment, more than a mere nuisance - hundreds of millions of Americans being able to freely exchange ideas on Twitter without censorship would threaten the entire Great Reset and could cause the whole plan to fail.

Musk wants a digital revolution that preserves our forefathers' vision of a free America. He still believes that ancient phrase, "I disapprove what you have to say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." And Musk puts his money where his mouth is.

He is a wise man. You don't become the wealthiest man on the planet by being stupid or wrong. And you had bet he hires the very best lawyers. So when Twitter feebly attempts to craft a poison pill strategy in a few hours, during a Board Meeting, you can sense they are desperate.  Event 201 or SPARS did not anticipate a Twitter takeover. While crafting the Trusted News Initiative, no one ever saw Elon Musk coming to crash the party.

When asked, Musk would not reveal his Plan B. Instead, he stated with a wry smile merely that it existed. But I knew better. Musk is much like one of those chess players I encountered when I used to play at tournaments. He reminded me of the grandmasters who played at the first two boards of National or International competition.

Players of that caliber calculated everything many moves in advance - all possible combinations of replies. So they could foresee the most likely countermove in their heads, assuming the opponent made the best response. If their opponent blundered, even once, they lost even quicker.

But assuming they made the very best counter moves, the grandmaster could often apply the 'forced mate' strategy, which is short for 'forced checkmate' - no matter what their opponent did during such a combination, they lost, as all their responses led to the same outcome - losing by checkmate.

That is what Twitter is now facing. They are dealing with a forced checkmate because regardless of any poison pill strategy they may adopt, Musk is too strong an opponent. He has overwhelming cash resources, massive influence as the richest man on earth, and a mammoth following on Twitter. In short, Musk is the Chess Grandmaster here, while Twitter is the patzer.

To illustrate, Musk offered to buy Twitter lock, stock, and barrel for $ 54.20 per share - and ALL the shares. 54.20 x 799 million Twitter shares come out to $ 43.3 billion. However, Musk would only need to vote 51% of the shares to wrest control of the company, oust the Board of Directors and rescind the poison pill strategy - a much easier proposition than the one he already made. But now, with the Board foolishly rejecting Musk's more generous offer, the share price will likely drop below the current $45.

The Board's new poison pill strategy would allow existing shareholders with less than 15% to add additional shares, theoretically diluting the stock and making it more difficult for Musk to purchase. However, Musk's next available strategy would be to either offer shareholders the choice to accept the 54.20 offer - bypassing the Board - or ask shareholders to assign him their voting rights via proxy. Either way, the cost would be considerably less than $ 43 Billion, as Musk only needs to control 51% of the share votes.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors has a Fiduciary Duty to act in the shareholder's best interests. To turn down an offer that makes the shareholders billions of dollars is NOT in their best interests. Twitter has some 799 million shares of outstanding stock.

Twitter's closing price as of April 14, 2022, was 45.08, which represents precisely 9 dollars and 12 cents x 799 million or 7.28 Billion dollars of damages in a Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit. As the stock price predictably drops to the Board's negligent decision, the damages increase.

And who pays these damages?

Twitter pays. Twitter's Board's decision to refuse Musk's buyout further devalues the company's share price and further increases the damages. The more damages, the further the share price drops. And so on. You get the point. It was the height of stupidity from the Fiduciary standpoint for Twitter to decline the offer and invites almost certain implosive lawsuits. The poison pill is one Twitter alone swallows, as it has minimal impact on Musk, who wins either way.

But why would Twitter do that?

Because the interests of the Oligarchs demand that Twitter fall on its sword. De-censoring Twitter would mean the end of the Great Reset, the end of the line for Klaus Schwab and his greedy, Godless brethren. Like a floundering chess player, the result is inevitable - a forced checkmate. Twitter will lose its struggle to censor and may choke on its poison pill.

The reality is that Musk's appeal directly to the shareholders is likely to succeed, making any shareholder derivative suit moot. Once Musk wrests proxy control over 51% of the shares, it will be all over.

Empowering Twitter with free and open debate would create so much fresh air that oxygen would once again reach the minds of those under the spell of Mass Formation Psychosis.

The Oligarchs would gladly sacrifice Twitter at the altar of The Great Reset; however, it appears Musk's forced mate strategy will not allow this. Twitter will likely survive in a free form and ultimately serve to checkmate the Great Reset itself.
