Musk exclamation #9819891821981, after the previous 9,819,891,821,980 exclamations were just his usual self-serving, self-aggrandizing hype/troll comments, do not a good front page post make.
I agree Musk is self-serving. However, this time the acquisition will go through, Techmeme is leading with Musk. I believe it is an important news story, and folks here will have a lot of things to say about it.
It's Musk fatigue. We're all sick and tired of his constant waffling and gameplaying. Just because he now says he'll buy Twitter doesn't actually mean anything, he could easily reverse himself again. Frankly, he's more than a little tiresome.
Important how exactly? Maybe to Twitter shareholders or Musk fanboys. But I don't see how the Twitter buyout qualifies as highly-important technical news. Whatever happens I doubt it will change the hacker landscape.
