About the only people happy with Elon Musk’s first days at Twitter were the network’s shareholders who saw their long moribund stock turn into hard cash at the rate of $54.20 per share, a price that anyone paying attention knew was way more than they were actually worth.
Everyone else, it seemed, was up in arms, including most of the employees, many of whom were laid off, and a subset of the site’s heaviest and most progressive users. Shonda Rhimes (”Not hanging around for whatever Elon has planned. Bye!”) and Whoopi Goldberg (“I’m getting off today because I just feel like it’s so messy”) to name but two, exited the platform in theatrical fashion, as did Sara Bareilles and Toni Braxton.
In her announcement on “The View,” Goldberg headed down a rabbit hole of absurd paradoxes.
