Damage to Twitter is terminal even if Musk walks

The board and execs consented to a takeover by an ideological adversary...the company culture is smashed and will never return

If he walks, the stock craters and employees know the board is no longer invested in the future...if the deal goes through, employees will have to March to Elon's beat or be fired. Either way...bye Twitter

This sounds like some kind of ancient samurai lore wrapped in traditions of sacrifice and nobility.....instead of a business deal happening in the United States of America.

"Consented to takeover by an ideological adversary" -- why, because Trump is banned? Is Musk going to try to bluff Facebook with an offer too?

What if the deal fails? How will Musk ever live down the dishonor?
