Hope Twitter prevails over Elon Musk

Although I don’t know Elon Musk, and I love what SpaceX is doing, for some reason Elon Musk annoys me. Oh well, I’m sure I would annoy him. I guess Twitter’s management wants Musk’s money so they can retire. Good luck to them.

What's Twitter?Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I think Musk is a market manipulator no doubt, but his query on regards to what percentage of users are bots is legit and most likely way higher than the 5% Twitter says- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

I think Musk will end up getting it for a lot less than the original offer and rightfully so.Political Correctness'.........defined

Twitter needs a good shakeup. I'M not a Musk fan but
he's about the only person who can do it.

Heh. Y'all have no clue how this works.
Musk wants out because of material breaches of contract from Twitter.
He's saying that Twitter is basically trying to commit fraud.
Twitter now needs to pony up the details or they're going to court. There's no forcing Musk to do anything. If they don't pony up and it does go to court then both Musk and the SEC will be analyzing everything. If Twitter is hiding anything at that point they are looking at seriously bad juju. Like Twitter would cease to exist under crushing regulatory penalties.
If Twitter is in breach then not only will the deal fall through but Twitter will be fined, stock value will plummet and anyone involved in the fraud at Twitter will be facing criminal charges and fines of their own.
Musk is not doing anything illegal here at all. He has a right to protect himself and he has a right to full disclosure on what he's buying to protect himself from fraud. He may be stoopit levels of wealthy but he has the same rights as everyone else and reserves the right to exercise them like everyone else.
It'll be interesting to see what happens. I get the feeling, though, that Twitter is as crooked as the day is long, been cooking the books with a trumped up user count for years and the reason the Twitter board was so keen to get out so quick is because they know it and they want gone before it all catches up to them.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Musk has done a significant public service here. Either he will take over Twitter and re-establish free speech, or Twitter will collapse and fold under the weight of their own fraud and manipulation.

Why would you want Twitter to prevail?
-
1 Musk forces Twitter to reveal stats
2. Stats show Twitter bogus..
3. Musk alters bid to a buck fifty
4. Twitter has to reject bid
5. Musk takes his football and scoots
6. Musj invests in Truth Social
7. Twitter gains the fate of MySpace
And the the world takes a turn for the better . 🤗👍🇺🇸Sal Palooza -

Musk's $44B offer was way high but was the bait to their greed to get them to bite. I think he knew they overinflated their financials and prospects in SEC filings. Their earnings to market cap is way too high, and 5% bot percentage is way low. If he can prove that SEC fillings were false, then it's really bad for Twitter. They will face SEC fines and/or jail time, investor lawsuits, and a collapse of the business. Twitter has no choice but to countersue, otherwise they admit that he is right.
Twitter still has strong brand recognition and is the market leader in its space. So Musk could still wish to buy for a fraction of the offer, and then turn the company around. But I think he could be just as happy to walk away and see the whole thing burn.
I think he played them brilliantly. -

Hmmm, sort of like certain members of Congress.
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Oh, that Elon.Elon Musk now wants to go through with his original offer to buy Twitter for the previously agreed upon price.
The legal team for the billionaire Tesla CEO sent a letter to Twitter Monday, which could put an end to the knock-down, drag-out legal fight over the merger that he tried to abandon in July.
The news, first reported by Bloomberg, sent shares of the struggling social media company soaring before the Nasdaq halted trading for a few hours. Twitter stock ended the day up 22%.
Musk agreed in April to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share, or about $44 billion, but then tried to back out of the deal after the company's value sank, along with other tech stocks and the broader market.
Twitter sued to force Musk to abide by the deal. A trial is scheduled to begin in less than two weeks. It's now up to the company to accept Musk's renewed offer or force the billionaire to go to court in an effort to seal the deal...
