What in the world does the Democratic party have to do with anything? Must was forced to execute the contract that he signed, but that was the Delaware Court of Chancery's doing, not Joe Biden's..

Musk has agency.. he chose to overpay, he wasn't forced to. To avoid squeezing the shit out of Twitter, he could have just not made a binding contractual offer to buy the company for $44 billion. It's like saying that of course these ghoulish private equity companies have to squeeze the shit out of the nursing homes they buy in order to make their money back.

They could just not do the first part and avoid making everything around them shittier?

My mom used to license and regulate nursing homes. When in a licensing action for a particularly bad one, the owner cried poverty, blah blah.

During the hearing where his license was getting revoked, he literally requested an emergency recess, during which closed on a deal where he bought an assisted living/nursing home complex, with his son as the license holder for the nursing home.

People like this exist and are the lowest scum.
