The board sued because the insane price he proposed was a much better monetary outcome for shareholders than waiting for Twitter itself to become profitable. But was a much worse outcome for its employees, users, and the rest of us....

Gonna go ahead and say that this is the BEST outcome for the rest of us. Employees and vendors for Twitter got the short end of the straw, but society as a whole would be blessed if Twitter went the way of the Dodo bird.

Oh those poor poor "users". Remember kids, if you're not paying for the service, you're not the user, you're the product.
