    Its because their overall ratings continue to plummet. Not sure why the brain trust would think a new venture like CNN+ would work. Guess they over estimated the number of people like @Rex that they could manipulate. Instead viewers are leaving in droves. Rex is one of the only ones left.

    Respected? Gold standard? I think not.

    Guys, come on. Rex is told by CNN that he should like and respect them. They tell him all the time.

    I am done with networks slapping a + sign on the end of their letters and charging a monthly fee.

    if there is one thing i dont understand its how corporate takeovers work so i am clueless.

    what i wonder is if he would let trump back on, and how that might lead to him winning again.

    from the SEC filing:

    "
    I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.

    However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.

    As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced. My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.



    Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.





    Script



    [SEND VIA TEXT]



    As I indicated this weekend, I believe that the company should be private to go through the changes that need to be made.



    After the past several days of thinking this over, I have decided I want to acquire the company and take it private.



    I am going to send you an offer letter tonight, it will be public in the morning.



    Are you available to chat?



    [VOICE SCRIPT]



    1. Best and Final:
    a. I am not playing the back-and-forth game.
    b. I have moved straight to the end.
    c. It's a high price and your shareholders will love it.
    d. If the deal doesn’t work, given that I don’t have confidence in management nor do I believe I can drive the necessary change in the public market, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.
    i. This is not a threat, it's simply not a good investment without the changes that need to be made.
    ii. And those changes won't happen without taking the company private.


    2. My advisors and my team are available after you get the letter to answer any questions
    a. There will be more detail in our public filings. After you receive the letter and review the public filings, your team can call my family office with any questions."
