WHAT HAPPENED?
Elon is buying Twitter, he's now become the single largest individual shareholder of Twitter (with the exception of Vanguard).
HOW MUCH IS HE OFFERING?
Twitter has roughly 768 million shares in total outstanding - if you take that number and multiply it by $4.20 - that’s $3.2 billion dollars. You know you’re rich when you can pay billions of dollars extra just to make a 4/20 joke. 83.5% voted yes - that he should take company private.
WHO CARES?
This is extremely important not only because what it means for shareholders of Twitter, and even people who invest in Bitcoin and Dogecoin - but most importantly what it means for free speech. It’s a very interesting story and there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye.
WHAT IS A BOARD OF DIRECTORS?
The board of directors of a public company are elected by people who own at least 1 stock in a company - 1 stock equals 1 vote. The board is supposed to make decisions on important things like dividends, figuring out what to pay their senior executives, and of course potentially merging or selling the company. They also have what’s called a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. Elon was recently invited to become a board member but he backed out because it would prohibit him from owning more than 15% of the company.
FIDUCIARY WHAT?
That means all decisions must be based on the best financial interests of the shareholders. They must consider all options if it makes financial sense. And this is where the story begins.
HOW COME TWITTER DOESN'T WANT ELON?
Once Elon rejected the offer, the board of directors responded to Elon with a “limited duration shareholder rights plan” also known as the "Poison Pill".
WHAT IS A POISON PILL?
Moving forward, the board voted that if anyone tries to buy more than 15% of their company without their approval, they would allow themselves to create new shares which shareholders can buy at a discount (the only exception being the person who triggered the event which in this case would be Elon). This policy would last until April 14, 2023.
WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS?
PROS: It prevents an "undesirable takeover", and it opens up negotiations for future buyers to sweeten the deal and offer more money.
CONS: New shares will have to be created, and if you don’t exercise your right to buy those new shares at the cheaper price, your shares become "diluted" or worth less than they used to.
Another downside is that it makes companies less attractive to potential buyers because they may not want to deal with the hassle of buying Twitter.
WHY IS THE BOARD MAKING IT SO HARD TO BUY THE COMPANY?
That's what Elon's defense is. He says the board is not exercising their fiduciary responsibility by making it harder for them to make money. Elon is offering more than the current value of Twitter which as of right now, is not a profitable company.
WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS & WHAT IS THE REAL REASON FOR BUYING TWITTER?

I meant PRIVATE :)
Hmm.... Complicated
All good bro u can make mistakes and we won’t care
That's it ice unsubscribed: )

I legit didn’t know that Twitter wasn’t even profitable lmao
Yeah they’ve been losing money for years lol
There's no scam there. 😂😂
OK Spencer, how much did Andre pay you to post such a perfect comment?
Lost 30% of my portfolio back in 2015 when its price crashed. Turned out it wouldn't become nearly as successful as facebook lol.
Couldn't they simply run ads to make profits?!
"looks good, does nothing" had me dyin 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I was about to say the same thing. Lol..Hilarious…🤣😂🤣
He single now?
"just like my ex girlfriend - looks good does nothing" yeah we can definitely relate
Msg direct watsap~~~~~~~
Hahaha!
Did he break up with his gf? He’s never referenced an “ex” before so I wonder if it’s the one we’ve seen in his videos beofre
Lol!
Corrections: private companies do have shares (they just don't trade on a public exchange). They also have boards and shareholders.
Clarification: they don’t have public shares available on a platform like Robinhood
Exactly, like Publix for example
They have exchanges, they are called private equity markets
I feel it is naive to imagine that "free speech" is the primary motivation behind Elon Musk's actions. It's almost certainly about the business motives and the potential merger of the cryptocurrency he supports.
👆Hey mate..
Thanks for watching have something to share with you hit me up👆👆✍️. .
Agree. Not so much about free speech as about a platform to promote the benefits and value of his initiatives and liberation from current t banking structures
“…like my ex-girlfriend; looks good, does nothing”. 🔥 😂
Did he split up with his GF or is it a reference to something else?
I think it would be naïve to believe that "free speech" is the main reason Elon Musk is doing this. It's definitely more to do with the profit incentives and the possible integration of the cryptocurrencies he backs.
i think basic financial education should be mandatory during the high school stages. Going further should be a question of choice. I wish i started investing earlier... anyways
Thank you for the informative videos.. you've been a rock star. And for recommending Kai. He has been of great help with investing and compounding
Kai Russel?
I know definitely. He’s making a huge impact
Man’s been crazy on gold lately, trading more than 100k contracts with a lot size of 10
It means he trades above 100k in equity with a standard lot size of 10 which represents 100,000 units of traded assets
Game changer
Keith, please I’d appreciate how to reach to Kai Russel
Ben Shapiro? Is often right? I’d say be careful here.
Twitter should allow people to say ANYTHING… but just like scientific papers, that paper should be citable. The user can’t edit or delete it, they have to keep the post up with the time stamp. So people can have a real track record of their stupidity.
As a free speech absolutist, I actually agree with this. No one said being able to speak freely means the person Speaking is right.
Correction: one share does not necessarily equal one vote. For example, Alphabet Class B shares, which are limited to Google insiders, have 10 votes each. And Alphabet Class C shares, which are owned by the General Public, have zero votes.
I never thought you could explain so easily stock split using one of my favorite kid shows
I knew Andrei was too smart to be a liberal
You lost me at Ben Shapiro 😬
He got me at Ben Shapiro 😁
Same
Or its blatant market manipulation: he buys 4bn of shares, then overvalues and says nice things about the company to make a profit
Free speech is important to every individual in the world. "You know this are working when someone you don't like says things you don't like and it's allowed". Andrei Jikh you always have the absolute highest value videos on all of UA-cam! Thank you for your videos!
Msg direct watsap~~~~~
What does a company's private property have to do with free speech?
Why does everyone get government censorship mixed up with capitalist business? Twitter "censorship" is just business as usual lmao
Free speech doesnt extend to private companies, lol
I've never seen you move your hands so much it's like you're using Batman's power of deception what's up with this video bro
Fun fact: Andrei didn’t describe the Pink Pill as a suicide pill because UA-cam won’t monetize a video that says that word or has it in the title
Thanks for watching have something to share with you👆✍️..l
Andrei you better start a magician channel too :)
Andrei you're the GOAT! You're the reason I listen to finance videos and am excited about them. Thank you for all that you do!
the people who voted on his tweet are his followers. People who don't follow him wouldn't have voted. NO one seems to mention that.
Ben Shapiro? Come on now.
Fucks your problem?
Just because we have freedom, doesn't mean we have the right to be put others down or be toxic.
Andrei i appreciate the detail in which you broke this topic down. You did a great job.
I personally feel like Elon only likes free speech when it benefits/doesn't insult or hurt him. As you pointed out Andrei, he's been known to "infringe" on people's free speech when it's something he doesn't like, and the example you listed isn't even the most recent or egregious one. Just last year he fired an employee and took away their access to the Full Self Driving beta just because they uploaded a UA-cam video of them testing the beta in the employees personal car and uploaded the video to UA-cam and the video had parts where FSD was doing well and a part where it failed. Blogs started posting about the part where it failed. And Elon punished the employee. The employee didn't actually break any rules. Which is literally the kind of thing he claims to be against. So i do think it's concerning Elon wants to buy Twitter under the veil of free speech because he has a proven track record of being the type to be butt hurt by something someone says and want to retaliate, someone with that fragile of an ego shouldn't be the sole authority behind the "defacto town square" as he calls it. I like what Elon does with Tesla, but Elon is not a free speech absolutist, he's a free speech opportunist. Twitter going private could do some interesting things for crypto if a crypto minded person implemented that, i just don't think Elon should be the one to do it. Especially not for his "say whatever you want, including hate speech, racism, and anything else, long as it's not negative towards me" version of "free speech". I feel like even the staunchest Elon supporters should be able to see Elon's hypocrisy here.
Valid concern, but here's another perspective: this was a management decision, not an Elon Musk decision. I know Musk can do 30 things at a time, but green lighting the sacking of an employee is probably something he leaves to his management team. He mentioned at the 2021 Code Conference that he doesn't know why there's an NDA for the FSD Beta testers. He's quoted as saying, "we probably don't need them", "they're just ignoring it anyway" and "I don't know why we have an NDA". That sounds like a person who has delegated management responsibilities to... managers. I could be wrong. I sometimes get things wrong and I happily admit that. If you have evidence that he personally authorized this employee to be fired, then that would change my mind.
Elon musk is also clout based so I wouldn’t put it pass it him that him would do such a thing with that motive.
ew... ben shapiro
Ew, some little child who can't deal with opinions
Even if you have a company not block any information, there is still going to be mis-information being spread. For example take a look at the scams in most comment sections on UA-cam or even the advertisements on Facebook. When someone wants something they will make their own narrative sound as reasonable as possible to ensnare.
It is in the interests of shareholders to have directors who don’t own substantial shares in that company. It guarantees more independence, and that decisions are in the best interests of the corporation, not the wallets of board directors. The argument of “alignment” is silly.
Thank you! Totally agree - it’s incredible that nobody is being more vocal about this.
Disagree with alignment is silly. Why do you think most C-Suite officers have huge stock options in their compensation packages. I believe Elon's pay is 100% stock options.
While there is value in having independent board members, having a board composed only or mostly of independent board members does not do much to represent the interest of the shareholders.
Elon's offer is fair and it's not like anyone else is knocking. The company is not growing and it's not profitable. The current valuation is already stupid high. If I were a shareholder I would be mighty pissed at the board.
Because the Middle East and Russia own Twitter
Ben Shapiro? ....
He's the best
Fucks your problem
The big question is why doesn’t Elon start a competitor to Twitter since he has an excellent track record of start up companies, arguably that is his forte, plus he has a very high profile and lots of followers and admirers? Conversely Twitter is a loser and May never be profitable.
Elon is all for freedom... when it comes to Elon. The Free Speech Absolutist is less enamored of free speech when other people use it to criticize, displease or disagree with him. Musk has demonstrated this several times. He wants a platform where he's free to spout whatever he wants with little to no consequence, and for that he needs total control of the company.
Finally, a person who can see through Elon's b.s. There may be hope for humanity after all.
I think ur just trying to find a reason to hate on him cause of jealousy tbh
Bingo
I’m hoping they succeed in keeping him from buying the company
Exactly. I love Tesla cars, but Elon is a narcissist with an over-inflated ego who wants total control. I'm betting there would be less "free speech" on Twitter if Elon had total control.
Ben Shapiro??!? You lost me there.
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. That is why I have my interests set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. They range from the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech and Health.
I engage in different kinds of investment (more of my capital in crpto), through compound interest and leveraging and as well operating with a good professional (financial advisor), so far I've attained good ROI over $500K
Building a good financial-portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek professional support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long-term goals and financial dreams.
As to get more details about my financial advisor; (Diana Alexandra Hunts) easily do quick internet research where you can easily approach her from, do your research with her full names mentioned.
Great! Got it.
Thanks for sharing this, I just looked up your financial Advisor and found her web page. Her resume is pretty impressive. I wrote her and I'm waiting on her reply.
Plan: to connect neuralink to broadcast your thoughts 24/7. Mine your data. Capici?!
👆Hey mate
Thanks for watching have something to share with you hit me up .👆👆✍️
Hmm, I don't buy the "free speech" motive. Like you said, freedom of speech ultimately boils down to laws and regulations, not on who owns one of dozens of web platforms. I think his actions are shady, and real motives hidden.
Me too. I think he wants the data and he can do whatever he wants with it.
So it's annoying that Ben Shaprio makes good points? 🤔 Maybe that's because he is right about pretty much everything he says.
Wow, you don't actually listen to Ben Shapiro, do you? Ugh. Dig at all and you'll find that while his arguments may sound plausible on the surface, they ignore the facts and just preach to those emotionally invested in a certain world view.

Wow, you don't actually dislike Ben Shapiro do you? Ugh. Dig at all and you'll find his arguments are plausible and not just preaching to the emotionally invested in a certain world view.
If I buy twitter now will that guarantee it to go up if Elon is paying so much more of a premium? OR does that only work if companies buy out other companies?
I find the Ace of Spades comment interesting because Spades have always been my least favorite suit in a card deck. I personally chose the seven of hearts when you said "pick a card."
I saw the Ace before he picked it up.
Andrei Jikh on Ben Shapiro sunday special when????
Great video! Love how you look at both sides of things without trying to “tell us how to think”!
He's probably going to charge 1 Doge for every time someone says something on twitter he doesn't like. =)
Great video! one thing to note about free speech is to ask ourselves if we agree that people should be allowed to spread lies and hate... Democracy is a fragile thing ..
Sometimes misinformation can become the truth 🤷
Just saying
Who determines lies or hate?
If Musk owns the world. Then it will be Musk who decides what the new “truth” is.
But it ain't THAT fragile
L To My NFT Twitter Account...
This would have been major news to dogecoin holders. Thanks, Andrei!
Just like my ex girlfriend…
Looks good
Does nothing !
E P I C
The rest of the video was good too!
You never disappoint! You would be the best high school teacher ever! I might reach out on a project soon! Keep up the good work 👏
F**k i guessed the Ace of spades
Elon has done a great job adapting to our planet and learning our ways
But the scary thing is when is he planning to bring the rest of his kind here?
Great breakdown Andrei!
Are you still looking for help with your channel?
I made an application video on my channel. Inspired by the porch scene from Fight Club FTW!
I’m local (Vegas). And I can help you with responding to comments, editing, and anything that will save you time to play more with Rito.
Hit me up. Thanks again for the great video.

I think Elon also wants to buy Twitter because of the big impact of Twitter has on crypto. With the growth of crypto and nfts Twitter growths with it.
How do you sell free speech? It's free. Using someone's platform, that's not free. The closest thing out there, and I get it-it's a stretch, is Wiki; that's not free AND you can't say anything you believe, just because you believe it.
If you own twitter shares, are you forced to sell at $54 or can you hold until it goes public again?
Id like to know this too.
You will be forced to sell
The real reason starts at 8:47
ew ben shapiro
Yeah gross
Holy crap, unsubscribe. Ben Shapiro??! Gross.
You won't be missed
Ben Shapiro?! Nooooo!!! Must... remain ignorant... close my mind... and.. unsubscribe...
You must be a fan of twitter in its current form. Silence anyone you dont agree with
No, but I also don't have to support channels that spread information or support crack pundits that do.
Ben Shapiro whether intentionally or unintentionally serves the interests of the extraordinarily wealthy. He is an advocate for the status quo and seeks to delude others into believing that individual rewards are the sole consequence of individual effort. And, that further, we should organize society based on this lie.
I have enjoyed a good deal of Jikh's channel, but I can't stick around if he's going to cite extremists and perpetuate their ideas. Ben Shapiro is toxic and his ideas aren't worth spreading.
misleading as always
What's funny is as much people complain a bout Twitter and free speech there are plenty of free speech platforms. one scroll down on 4chan would have most people change there tune
EXACTLY
Their*
4chan is a niche community tho, its not representative of mainstream social media users. Also, u can simply not follow people on twitter if you find certain content unappealing.
I love your content but Ben Shapiro ? Cmon man
Thanks for watching have something to share with you hit me up 👆👆✍️... l
There is a lot that can be said and done in regards with Twitter, but I honestly don't like giving all of the power of a social media company to one person without some checks and balances. I am mixed on what Elon Musk is trying to do, but the whole situation is a minefield that can become real messy, real quickly. Then again, I really do like how Andrei does his best to be the most informative on his videos and does his best to present both sides of a current event.
All the other big tech companies are operating as if they are privately owned. There are no checks and balances. They lie before Congress and say they’re a platform, but turn around and every day behave like a publisher. They should be treated like a public utility. Because that’s really what they are. They should not have section 230 immunity.
Your take is incredibly naïve.
I would much rather have a proven libertarian like Elon Musk running a big tech social media company then the far left Waco‘s that currently run them, and they are currently illegally unconstitutionally blocking people at the behest of the California government as well as the Biden ministration. That absolutely positively is unconstitutional.
Twitter just lacks so much in features. It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to copy paste it. Just make rettiwT and hodl his shares and make the final merger when its bleeding out because there is a better platform (with full integration). Elon has too much money for his own good - throwing it twitter and then shitposting about it loudly doesn't actually seem to meet the goal he states. I think he really wants it because he wants to study the backdoor in twitter, its a larger battle in the cause of free speech. I see it as becoming similar to original Reddit or Discord - can't be banned from twitter just the #"posting about teslas". Part of the point of making it open source - proof that you can't be totally banned from the platform and lose control because people could just host more bird sites somewhere else.
nice t shirt
Why did I halfway expect to see you actually interviewing Elon 😅
lol, you never know with me
I could see it happening 👀
IMPOSTER! Whats happening Zach! Lol
Ben Shapiro hahahahha
Elon's market manipulations and tricks are becoming problematic right now..

Andrei have you checked out a brand new project called "Sphere Finance"? This project taps into the Curve Wars which I am sure you are aware of. Would love to see you explaining this project and "Curve Wars" easily for us. Hope you read this!
Sure, Twitter might be burning cash, but at least they're very experienced with diluting shareholders 😅
LOL this is true
Msg direct watsap~~~~~
Why doesn't Elon create a better social network from the core up, along with his moral intentions and promotes it democratically?
This is a very informative video 😮 this man is a hero 🦸♂️
Msg direct watsap~~~~~
You made two mistakes in the first 30 seconds of this video. What’s the world coming to?! Lol
Love your content Andrei, but I’d recommend looking Into some trustworthy critiques of Ben Shapiro’s positions. If anything his speech should be limited 🤣🤣
Imagine supporting censorship and thinking you have the moral high ground. Cognitive dissonance is real.
Please please never speak again for the world's sake.
imagine actually being a guy that idolizes elon musk like a demigod. i like that in his reasons why not he pointed to one time musk engaged in dubious tactics, why not show the many other times and the most infamous instance of elon saying he's a free speech absolutist but acting contrary to that. I will say you are not nearly as bad a kevin, that dude has a serious parasocial stalker one sided relationship with elon and its comedy to keep seeing him try and get his attention and failing lol
Nobody asked
Why buy BTC/ETH and only make a 2X? When I can buy DPAD Finance and get 50-100x returns? Low market Cap at 300k Mcap, when listed on CEX easy 100M Mcap, DYOR, NFA.
The irony of Ben Shapiros takes on misinformation lmao
Msg direct watsap~~~~~~~
Misinformation doesn’t apply to information you disagree with.
I'm perplexed about people always talking about "free speech" as it only relates to government entities. ALL companies have GUIDELINES, in one way or another.
And the most significant explanation for the increase in conspiracy theories is the lack of education, specifically critical thinking, and the fact that everybody wants to have a voice. Since they can't scream any louder, they have to say some ridiculous sh*t to get the attention they crave so much.
I love Elon, and really hope he just continues to focus on innovation and all the other great ideas he has. That Twitter war he has going just seems so beneath him, to be honest.
But then again....it's Elon! He may be into something that we simply just don't see.
Great and very informative video!
However, the crypto tipping system is already supported on Twitter and not something new that Elon brings to the table.
Are you a Russian actor by any chance? I was watching a Russian movie and I swear I saw you! Can send a screenshot. lol
Andrei - I thank you for the informative videos you produce for your fans. I’ve been asking myself this question since the leak of his offer to purchase Twitter and take it private. Was nice to hear your side of it.
In typical fashion, Elon Musk buys Andrei's new company Kaiba Corp for $402million dollars and says it will start accepting dogecoin by June 2022
Mentions Ben Shapiro and I’m out. I’ll wait for your next video!
Nah bro this has nothing to do with FREE SPEECH but everything to do with creating his own global WECHAT. All you guys are obsessed and need to take off your goggles creating a Jesus our savior character.
Damn you’re far right wing… I thought you were cool 😔
Everyone looks “far right” when you’re to the left of Bernie Sanders.
Maybe I haven’t seen enough videos but I don’t find myself agreeing Ben Shapiro often at all. Still very annoying though I agree
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13 day's.
I don’t think it’s freedom of speech cost 44billions…that’s too big amount for freedom of speech, no typical American would do that without benefit.. my view is that Elon is turning twitter similar to WeChat in china, it is a chatting platform combining with payment apps
Yaaas. I am gonna subscribe since you mentioned Ben Shapiro

Hey Andre I know the chances of me getting through to you are slim but I have kept all my finances in stocks and you are my main go to when I jump on your UA-cam I really appreciate your videos and I would like your advice if you can reach out to me that would be great
Why would you reference Ben Shapiro? Who are republican with anti-abortion, anti-LGBT, and anti-muslim. There is no one to reference anyone in US?
sorry but regarding free speech; would you allow all comments on your youtube videos te be shown? Allowing conspiracy or outright false information to be platformed does not reduce the amount of conspiracies or false information.....

Elon Musk ultimately reaches a deal on Mon to buy Twitter & Doge goes up 25% in hours 💰📈…Nobody moves the needle like Musk 😂
a couple issues.
free speech is a limitation on government, not private or public companies.
when you create an account on twitter, or any social media, you agree to a terms of service, should you break those terms you risk actions being taken, which you agreed to.
authoritarian, top down control, is not freedom.
creating a platform in which there is no accountability or consequences isn't freedom.
Do you financial guru youtubers really care about the content you put out? Or is it cash grab. following the eyes. gauging what will get the most clicks because success in what you've decided to do here yields the highest returns. and the majority of clickers we know are misguided and lackluster
Thanks for being ballzy enough to share an opinion Andrei. Ben Shapiro too.
Hey Andrei,
Nice Vid as always , if you like Yu-Gi-Oh and Crypto, you should have a look into Gods Unchained
The YuGiOh reference!!! I love it, makes me wanna do some test playing all night before a Shonen Jump in Chitown....did I just date myself???
Watching your video at 1.5x speed is like watching Ben Shapiro at normal speed 🤣
Not every listener is a male. I was hurt for your girlfriend. What exactly did you want her to do? Didn't her father help you build your new house? Then you got rid of her? Every girl going forward that you date will now know that you will use your UA-cam channel to insult them.
