Elon never wanted to buy Twitter, they deceived him to signing agreement to purchase it. When he discovered the value of the platform was inflated more than its actual worth(10billion$ instead of 44billion$), he decided to back out.

Twitter owners took him to court for breach of agreement and forced him to either buy at 44b or give them billions of dollars in court as settlement. Elon took loans from the bank and was forced to buy Twitter

He needs money to run the platform affairs and also needs to pay back his loan. So Elon monetizing his investment is justified.

Those complaining of blue tick removal now mocked him when he was being forced to buy overpriced goods

Yeah yeah. I know the facts of the case.

It goes beyond that. Twitter has never turned a profit in its years of existence . Effectively the company has been 'incubating' all this while. Plenty of buzz, plenty of engagement, but no actual profit. The original investors have thanks to the stock pricing, made their money back and cashed out.

Now Elon with either have to make the company profitable, or turn out the lights.

Elon has floated this payment for verification before now. I have read discussions about moving to alternative platforms. This has not happened. The only successful twitter clone I can think of is koo and that is a different story. Far righters created parler and it flopped. The influencer gang and their followers are stuck with twitter.

No guarantee that an existing twitter star/celeb can move to a new platform and replicate their following

The downside of this is that anybody can create an handle, pay the money and get the handle verified. Some criminal elements can easily create handles of big brands, get it verified and use it to defraud innocent people or pass misinformation.
You will still pass through the usual bluetick authentication process, before payment.

They stay but no blue tick. Blue tick will now come with special benefits unlike before. LeBron James and co want it free but at the expense of Musk who got a bank loan to buy and run twitter. That is what is not reasonable and fair.

Did Elon Musk buy twitter because of blue tick? I want to believe the bulk of the people without the tick gives him more money.

Indeed... Elon should have done
proper due diligence and company valuation before indicating interest in the loss-making Twitter business model.

Serves him right, the man has an over-bloated ego and likes to talk and make pronouncements without first thinking of the implications.

Elon Musk is the equivalent of a typical road side trader in Nigeria who just suddenly got rich but does not have the polish that is acquired when moving up the ranks in a well structured corporate organisation

True. But nevertheless, it is his platform and he can do whatever he wants with it. They can't sue him.

They either pay or take a walk. Elon took loans(incurred debts) when he was forced to buy Twitter. People mocked him.

Now he's trying to get his money back by monetizing his investment, they are ganging up against him.

Musk used his mouth to wrote a check his butt couldn’t cash.
No one forced out of no where to come buy it. He used his own mouth to clout chased and Jack used the opportunity to looped him in hence the necessity to buy it at all cost.

Lol... grin

Indeed... This is what I don't like about Elon. He can be very impulsive and his tweets have done a lot of damage to his net-worth as well making him fall from the number one spot on the Forbes Billionaire Index. Only Donald Trump's tweets come close in terms of damaging effects.

It was his big mouth that got him into trouble!

When negotiations are on-going for such a big ticket transaction you don't disclose it to the publich until all due diligences RE concluded and the parties concerned still decide to go and with the deal.

Instead the lousy-mouth uncouth money miss road paper billionaire went and started broadcasting the news to the public.

When the results of the due diligence came out and he saw that the company was not as financially sound as thought he wanted to turn tail and back out of the deal but Twitter management activated a clause in the agreement which forced him to either proceed with the purchase or pay a heavy penalty...there was no way they could have let him walk away because his little stunt had already done some damage to the valuation and public perception of the company!
