CONTROLLING THE MIKE OF THE WORLD'S TOWN HALL

THE REAL COST OF FREE-SPEECH ... 


BITE YOUR TONGUE ... WEARING A COVID MASK

TWITTER'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS ... ALL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AS A GROUP (14 NON-BINARY ENTITIES) ... OWNERSHIP IS 2.7% OF OUTSTANDING STOCK (20,521,708).  The Board of Directors exclusive of Dorsey own collectively .3% of the outstanding shares!


​5% Stockholders and other boogeymen, perhaps boogey non-binaries:
​​
The Vanguard Group... 70,375,579 - 9.2 %
Elon Musk --- 68,943,938  - 9.0%
Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc. ... 67,033,579 - 8. 8%
BlackRock, Inc. ... 52,095,502 - 6.8 %

So, approximately 65% of ownership is in the hands of non-binaries and other boogie men ... of course, the beauty of capitalism is "what's in it for me" mentality.
