Update 10/5/22:
Well, after jerking everyone around for months, it appears Elon Musk is finally moving forward with buying Twitter for the agreed-upon terms ($44B, @$54/share). From the AP:
Elon Musk sent a letter to Twitter Inc. on Monday seeking to revive his bid for the company at the original offer price of $54.20 a share, provided that the Delaware Chancery Court “enter an immediate stay” of Twitter’s lawsuit against him and adjourn the trial scheduled to begin in two weeks, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Twitter in a statement on Tuesday said that the company intends to close the transaction at the offer price.
honestly I think he got ratio’d so hard last night that he decided to buy twitter after all

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, and that rock was blocking out wireless internet access, you probably heard that Elon Musk bought Twitter this week, for $44B.
Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in

When something like that happens, just as when something small and insignificant happens, it is the law (not really but people act like it is) that you must issue a hot take on Twitter. The Musk news was no different, but even now, the reactions keep rolling in.
