Put another way: he's overpaying by a LOT (at 54.20/share) because the discovery process has already been embarrassing and his deposition would have been even more embarrassing to him.

Twitter Ramps Up Election Meddling Ahead Of Midterms With Fake Fact-Checking Program Expansion
Twitter first rolled out Birdwatch in 2021 as a way to recruit more censors who will join in their quest to silence their political enemies. Disguised under an alias that is not “publicly associated with contributors’ Twitter accounts,” birdwatchers who deem inconvenient or damning tweets to be “misinformation” are granted the power to add their own “context” to certain tweets for all to see.
Nearly two years into the program, it’s clear that the accounts Twitter deemed worthy of “fact-checking” belong to most of the same left-wing liars who run the corporate media and publicly call for the censorship of anyone who disagrees with them.
Seeing the success Birdwatch has yielded for Twitter, whose not-so-secret goal is to memory-hole conservatives who speak the truth, the Big Tech platform is expanding the program beyond its test phase.
Twitter Secrets
I post a new Stossel TV video every Tuesday. Lots of people signed up to receive them, but Twitter won't send my tweets to most of them. A million people chose to follow me on Twitter, but Twitter shows my posts to only 5 or 10% of them!
Which ones? I don't know. That's secret.
I will post a link to this column, too. Ninety percent of my followers won't see it.
Twitter will bury most of my tweets deep in my followers' newsfeeds, below paid tweets, below "trending" tweets, below ... who knows what? They bury them so deep that most people never see them.
Do they bury them because some employee doesn't like me? Doesn't like libertarians? I don't know. The algorithm is secret.
Twitter's a private company and can do whatever it wants. But I wish the rules were applied consistently. I can't know if they are. The process is secret.
Twitter does carry plenty of posts from libertarians and conservatives. But their "content moderators" favor the left.
Just weeks before the last election, the New York Post reported, accurately, on the sleaze on Hunter Biden's computer. Twitter blocked the Post's account for two weeks. Twitter's CEO later called that "a mistake." But did Twitter change? We don't know.
Twitter blocks former President Donald Trump, but the Taliban's account is open.
Now Twitter's blocking some posts that criticize government's COVID policies.
How often? We don't know.
Twitter locks staff stock accounts in anticipation of deal
Summary by Ground NewsTwitter Inc has frozen equity award accounts for employees days ahead of the deadline to close its deal with Elon Musk, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, a sign that the social media firm hopes the deal will be completed.
First Amendment Strike Force – ABC NEWS
The ongoing saga of Elon Musk and his prospective takeover of Twitter continues. The latest wrinkle now sees the Biden administration looking into the validity of his purchase of the company; not over anti-trust issues, just that there is the worry that a liberal-leaning social media company might be positioned in a more upright manner.
Along with this thinking is ABC News with the announcement that Musk’s takeover could lead to significant layoffs at the company. What concerns the network is that this could impact the ability to limit the expression of users, as Musk has indicated his commitment to the principle of free speech – a grave concern. Then ABC turned to an expert who lent this expert opinion on the matter, which strikes as being somewhat less than that of an expert.
- "'Content moderation will be a lot harder without people doing content moderation,' Zeve Sanderson, the executive director at New York University's Center for Social Media and Politics, told ABC News."

ABC worried that Twitter censorship will decline
This isn’t about trust-busting; they are fine with Twitter as it is now, controlled by the Left. But the idea that the platform will have less censorship of ideas? Impossible!
Now ABC News is chiming in with a similar take: Elon’s plan to radically downsize Twitter’s bloated workforce to a more reasonable level will threaten “content moderation,” which is just another term for censorship.
“False or harmful content.” That is a pretty vague term. Would it include, say, all the false information that was spat out about the debunked Steele Dossier? The promotion of the 1619 project? How about the declaration by the intelligence community that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation? Or perhaps the countless defamations of Republicans being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.?
Marie Harf was saying the same thing on Outnumbered last week. She was all worried that there wouldn't be enough moderators to keep child porn off Twitter.
Dedicate a monitor to Bill Clinton and Anthony Weiner.
