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

    I'm getting tired of rich people, their drama, and politics and politicians.

    They don't even live on the same planet as us.

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

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

    The only think Musk did was expose Twitter for the twits they really are. Nearly half of their network is a bot or those with multiple accounts.

    Which affects the value. So who is scamming who here. All the hoopla about fake news in recent years, when a social media company is far too fake and it's done on purpose.

    But Musk also has an incredible track record of breaking the law and getting off with little damage. He has been violating SEC rules for years with impunity.

    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?

    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. I think this whole thing has been a chess game, and Musk has just announced “Mate in three”…

    Wow, you called it.

    I wish this deal would just die and go away. Let Twitter continue to become less relevant and run it's natural course.

    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...
    Oh, that Elon. :p
