@elonmusk @JeffBezos What a bunch of self serving BS. One Oligarch tells a self serving lie and another one vouches for him.

Allow me to translate this letter from eBay for those who don’t speak legalese:
Ryan,
We got your unsolicited offer to buy eBay for $125/share (half cash, half stock) supported by your 5% economic interest in eBay.
Our board, backed by the usual crew of bankers and lawyers who get paid either way, “thoroughly reviewed” it.
We’re rejecting it. Not because the math doesn’t work. Not because the highly confident letter from TD Securities for up to $20B on top of your $9B+ cash pile is fake. None of that.
We’re rejecting it because your entire approach to running a company is an existential threat to how we like to operate here.
Here are the reasons we feel this way, and the things we considered before paying consultants to write this:
1) We’d rather keep milking eBay as a “standalone” cash cow than let you turn it into something bigger and better.
2) Sure, you’ve got real financing lined up and you “know people” with deep pockets, but we’re going to call it “uncertain” anyway so we don’t have to engage.
3) Your plan would actually force real long-term growth and profitability changes we’d rather not be held accountable for.
4) The debt we pretended you can’t even obtain, the operational integration and focus on seller satisfaction, and most importantly, putting someone like you in charge of the combined entity all sound like a nightmare for our current leadership structure because all of us would have zero job security.
5) The valuation math only looks bad if you ignore the 46% premium you’re offering our shareholders and the upside from fixing eBay the way you fixed GameStop, which we are choosing to do and hoping nobody notices.
6) And I hope we buried the lede far enough here: Your governance and executive incentives are completely incompatible with ours. You and your board take zero cash, no salary, no bonuses, no golden parachutes. You buy shares with your own money and only get paid if shareholders win. We, on the other hand, like our nice, reliable annual payouts regardless of whether the stock is flat or the company is just coasting. We’re not about to hand over our golden goose to a guy who eats only what he kills.
Look, eBay is “strong” and “resilient” in the way every entrenched public company says it is while handing out eight-figure checks and perks to the C-suite. We’ve done the usual incremental stuff: tweaked the marketplace a bit, returned some capital, and we’d like to keep doing that without any cowboy from GameStop coming in and demanding actual skin-in-the-game accountability. Can you just leave us alone?
Our team remains focused on protecting the current regime and delivering “value”… mostly to ourselves and our consultants.
Thanks, but no thanks,
Paul S. Pressler
Chairman of the Board, eBay
(And proud beneficiary of the status quo)

It's official. Because of many donors & supporters, Retail shareholders are watching over their investment for the first time in years. They have the possibility of getting transparency, finding viability and perhaps resurrecting what many thought was dead. At minimum we will get a shareholder meeting... Maybe more. 🤞🙏❤️ Please donate to fund legal gofundme.com/f/retail-share…

@pete_elite54220 You cannot lose that which you never had. That applies equally to you.

@elonmusk Nonsense. You were in the emails as someone who was eager to visit. Turns out you may have been too creepy for the creeps!

Nobody has fought harder for full release of the Epstein files and prosecutions of those who abused children more than I did, knowing full well that the legacy media, far-left propagandists and those who are actually guilty would:
1. Admit nothing
2. Deny everything
3. Make counter-accusations against me
I knew that I would be smeared relentlessly, despite never having attended his parties or been on his “Lolita Express” plane or set foot on his creepy island or done anything wrong at all.
Nonetheless, the extreme pain of being accused of being the opposite of who I am was worth it.
The strong must protect those cannot protect themselves, especially vulnerable children. I will gladly accept any amount of future pain to do more to protect kids and give them a chance to grow up and have happy lives.
