    Musk suggested that offering a verified checkmark to everyone who pays
    Musk clarified that this checkmark
    This seems like a good idea to me. In general, more people being verified online is a good thing.

    Anonymity is also a good thing, so offering a way for people to choose to be verified is great.

    Twitter shareholder sues Elon Musk claiming the Tesla CEO's delay in disclosing his more than 5 percent stake in the social media giant allowed him to buy more shares at lower price
    • Elon Musk is being sued by a Twitter shareholder who claims the Tesla CEO delayed disclosing his 5 percent ownership of the social media company
    • Marc Bain Rasella filed the lawsuit against Musk for alleged securities fraud in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday
    • Musk revealed last week that he had become Twitter's largest shareholder, with a 9.2 percent stake in the company
    • But Rasella claims Musk was required to disclose the stake by March 24
    • Rasella said that when Musk finally disclosed his stake last week, the company's shares went up 27 percent, from $39.31 on April 1 to $49.41
    • But due to the delay in Musk's filing, he had already scooped up shares at a deflated prices, the suit alleges
    • Twitter's share price has fallen and as of Tuesday morning was trading at $45.83 per share, a 2.49 percent drop from Monday
    • Rasella stated he will represent Twitter shareholders who sold their stakes in the week before Musk's disclosure, who said they were robbed of increased profits
    • The lawsuit comes after Musk decided against joining Twitter's board

    Doubtful. He's probably doing this for self-promotion to build his own network from the ground up.

    I love when people who are dirt poor, care more about what taxes a billionaire is being asked to pay.

    Elon Musk Twitter - latest: Tesla titan says his ownership would aid ‘future of civilisation’ at live Ted talk

    Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud explains rejecting Elon Musk’s offer
    “I don’t believe that the proposed offer by @elonmusk ($54.20) comes close to the intrinsic value of (Twitter) given its growth prospects. Being one of the largest & long-term shareholders of Twitter, @Kingdom_KHC & I reject this offer.”
