True the guy is wealthy but he talks too much

It's not everything that should be brought to the public domain

Bringing it to the public domain is to manipulate the price down.

By the time the price drops to $20 and he offers $25 last price, they will be forced to accept - as against his initial offer of $54

The guy is a cynical operator. SEC should come down on him

omohayek:
Musk is just looking for an excuse to get out of the deal without having to pay the $1 billion penalty he agreed to if he did so. He's already gotten what he wanted out of the exercise, which was to get attention for himself from "alt right", Trump-worshipping types by "trolling the libs".

what are you saying, in the deal they both agreed(twitter and Elon) it was stated that spam bots is let than 5 percent of the total users which made him agree to that fee, but an Independent miami technology research claim they are over 20 percent spam bot which means they wanted to Rob him blind. Musk nah called for forensic report from outsiders (Researchers) Twitter refused citing privacy of the users must be protected. Now they are even suggesting that it could be up to 50 percent of the users that are fake while twitter is saying only 5. It is just you wanted a phone and you saw one that fit your price, you asked any problem they told you just the charging spot you come agree online to come pay for the item the next day you nah took the picture to show your bro who is a an electrical engineer to show off the phone you getting, your bro who is street smart saw the cost and could see and sense ther are more issues wrong with the phone you nah wrote the seller of the phone can you bring your engineer along to look at the phone They said no that you have to pay first. Normal he would look for another deal but in US coz dem Don agree and all he might be forced to pay 1 bill dollars to twitter if it pull outs of the deal so he is trying to fight for an outsider audit to see truly the cost of twitter and pay. Trust me the way Jack Dorsey and the board agreed so fast and easy they must have been overpriced

baba dae fear

Too many funny comments on NL.

Can't you guys follow the wonderful business intrigues here and savor it?

Elon is taking us all to business school here and some of you are throwing childish comments around

Go get your writing pads and take notes!

Which yeye business school?

Elon Musk is a garrulous buffoon who lacks polish if you must know.

Most of these things he's ranting about in public are usually covered by a Non Disclosure Agreement and should never be discussed with third parties until the deal is sealed

I once worked in the investment unit of an international advisory firm so I'm talking based on firsthand experience!

PoliteActivist:


But why did they lie that fakes are less than 5% - and won't allow outside experts to come in and give fairly accurate number??!!

It’s Elon claiming they’re more than 5% so you can’t be so sure he isn’t wrong.He is projecting and using hypotheticals too...And unless he has committed a large or at least half of the acquisition fee already I don’t see any reason while Twitter would open her company up for Elon’s outside experts to dissect when he can just walk out of the deal and if that happens Twitter would be at the receiving end of whatever discoveries which would make the company more vulnerable and less valuable than it is right now...I think they need to have some binding contractual terms or clauses that would protect both sides and Musk needs to be more committed and more discreet bout the acquisition.

PoliteActivist:


But if you assure me there is only one but I come dey see five, nko?

You have a point...

They are the ones who assured Elon the fakes were less than 5%. He's since discovered grounds to believe they are more than 20%.
INDEPENDENT outside experts not in any way affiliated with Musk - and Twitter refuses it.
Also, Elon has announced he'd buy at a cheaper price.

That is the reason a contract/paperwork has to be drawn by both sides with protection clauses,T&Cs..so the individual and the company won’t get exposed or be vulnerable if the deal falls through he can’t just expect Twitter to allow some so called “ outside experts “ who might even have it in for Twitter already to come in and dissect Twitter has a company especially on the issue of membership which is very critical I won’t do that too unless Elon is absolutely committed to the acquisition that would be risky,managerially naive and amateurish on the Twitter’s board part.

Elon would have nothing to lose or at the most $1bn while the valuation and future of Twitter would be at stake!They have to be circumspect with their actions and decisions at this point.

So you think the army of lawyers on both sides who helped put the deal together didn't think of all that?
Whatever happens, if the deal fails there will definitely be lawsuits

You don't even know half of it. There is even an NDA on Musk

PoliteActivist:


You don't even know half of it. There is even an NDA on Musk

And you don’t think that should be binding or valid...even with that in place Musk has been running his mouth and doing all sorts of expose groaning bout one thing or the other.

The lawyers already called him out on it (use google).
One of the reasons lawsuits are inevitable if the deal fails

Mooh247:

you made a lot of sense.

frog12:
he realised he OVERPAID for twitter

No payment have been made yet, just an offer. Don't even think he intended buying twitter in the first place.

HIGHESTPOPORI:

It becomes a problem when bots and spams make almost half of the accounts. Just wait till the shareholders sue the crap out of Twitter and collapse under its own weight of illegal activities. What about people paying for ads with the hope of having that many people see the products and there was no disclosure of having half of the accounts as fake? Trump go kuku use his new acquisition company buy am from bankruptcy court or let it die.

helinues:
Then Elon is not serious of buying Twitter.

There will always be fake accounts which at least should be from 10%.

He won't have to pay the $1 billion walkaway fee since it's looking more like Twitter was trying to scam Elmu.

Nope!he can’t!I think Musk is tryna eat his cake and have it here...he wanna hamstrung Twitter into selling lower than the agreed fee..after coming public about the acquisition and put some details and company info out there.

How low do you think Twitter will go on the price, $20 billion for lies?

You are tallking nonsense. If it is covered, they would have sued him.

Secondly, you dont know what you are talking about when you call Elon a Buffon. He is one of the most brilliant minds of this generation. But how can you now when you watch CNN and your source of knowledge?

I knew this day would come so I saved my response to the rubbish you wrote.

Please go and check the latest news!

Your lord and master Elon Musk has finally abandoned the deal (I'm not surprised in anyway)

People who can see beyond their noses knew all along that he was just using it to manipulate the price of cryptos to his benefit.

Billionaire my ass!
