For those who weren't aware of it....most baseball bats used in the sport today....weigh between 33 and 36 ounces.
Several decades ago....there was this one baseball player by the name of Dick Allen. You can say a number of things about the guy (he played in the 1960s/1970s, was brash/blunt, two decades ahead of his time, and probably was one of the top ten players of baseball during this timeframe).
Dick Allen did something which was unique though....he carried around a baseball bat which weighed 42 ounces. No one is going to say that he came up to the plate each time with the 42 ounce bat.....but he had it, and when necessary....that was his 'weapon'.
When you look at the Twitter/Musk battle going on....Elon has an interesting 'bat' in his collection....if the purchase of the media company goes through.
Elon would have all of this data and directives used for the past decade....which was used for keeping conservative 'content' off the media platform. He could call in 'Larry' and ask for such-and-such information....to discover various meetings were held....where people just said in a blunt way.....'dump' this content, or hold this person off the platform.
Yes....names and facts start to get put out in public. Even the former board members would be dragged up and labeled as 'problems'.
Conversations with private governments (like Germany for example) would be opened up and discussed to some degree. Or Elon could say those would be kept private....if you give me a 'gift' or two.
So what Musk is buying has tons of potential or limited potential....depending how he wants to show off his 'bat'.
He's not just buying a company....he's buying all of this private information that was supposed to stay private. So you can understand the fight going on, and why they are so desperate to protect the secret side of Twitter.
