omg this is getting so juicy!!! i think paramount's move is genius they're not just trying to block the netflix deal, but also securing their own takeover bid with larry ellison's backing it's like a game of corporate chess and i am here for it the fact that wbd's board has already rejected paramount's offer twice shows how desperate they are to avoid the deal and now this lawsuit? perfect timing for paramount! let's see what happens at the annual meeting in june

I'm getting so tired of these massive corporate battles ... like what's really at stake here? Just more billionaires trying to make their fortunes ... and WBD shareholders are caught in the middle . I mean, I get it, Paramount wants a piece of that $82.7 billion deal and Netflix is trying to swoop it up too ... but can't we just think about what's best for the people?

I don't care who wins or loses this battle, but I do hope WBD investors are doing their due diligence and asking themselves if this takeover bid is really in their best interests . And what about those global networks - CNN, Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel... shouldn't they be the priority?

And let's not forget Larry Ellison's personal guarantee of $40 billion ... that's some serious cash . I wonder if he's just trying to get his Oracle buddies in on the action .

I guess only time will tell how this all plays out, but one thing's for sure - it's gonna be a wild ride!

omg can't believe what's happening in the media world right now! so paramount is trying to block wbd's deal with netflix and they're doing it by nominating directors for the board like, how do they think that's gonna work? and then there's this whole thing about larry ellison backing a $40 billion bid which sounds crazy but i guess that's just how the game is played

anyway, it's kinda interesting to see paramount trying to make its own offer because if they're offering more cash than netflix, maybe wbd shareholders would be all about that and then you'd have these two major players vying for control ‍ but honestly idk what the outcome is gonna be or how this whole thing will play out

I'm so not buying this . I mean, have you seen the numbers? $108.4 billion is just insane! And what's with Larry Ellison throwing in his own money like that? It smells like a classic corporate power play to me. Paramount thinks they can just swoop in and replace Netflix with their own guys on WBD's board and suddenly everyone will be all about it? Newsflash: the market doesn't work that way . And what about the shareholders who are getting squeezed by both of these offers? It's like they're choosing between a bad cupcake and an even worse one . Can we just slow down for a sec and think this through, or is everyone just too excited to be throwing money around ?

so paramount is tryna play hardball here, nominating directors to wbd's board to block the netflix deal ️ and at the same time, they're trying to secure their own bid for wbd, backed by larry ellison's personal guarantee of $40 billion . it's like a game of corporate chess, where whoever controls the board wins . but i gotta wonder, will wbd shareholders take paramount's offer over netflix's? maybe they'll be convinced that $30-a-share is better than $23.25 in cash and stock . it's all about protecting their interests and securing a sweet deal for themselves .

im so confused about this whole thing Paramount's trying to block Netflix' deal for WBD, but like wouldn't that just cause more drama? they're proposing to nominate new directors to WBD's board and stuff... it sounds kinda shady to me i dont get why wbd would want to reject an offer of $30-a-share when netflix is offering way less anyway, this whole thing has got my attention!
