Due is having a second thought about his stupid offer

I side with Twitter.

I think Twitters primary problem are inactive users, those who rarely do any tweeting.

I probably have like 4 different accounts and it's only one I use and that's even rarely.

Even on NL, there are people who haven't logged in for years and yet haven't deleted their accounts

There will always be fake accounts which at least should be from 10%.
He was looking for excuse to back out. Parting with 14 Billion Dollars no be moinmoin cheesy

Was he and his team not supposed to have taken that into consideration before making the initial offer? A factor as paramount as that ?

The truth is that there is no system that will accurately give the exact number of fake accounts.
Not true. There are INDEPENDENT outside experts who can come in and give a fairly accurate number, but Twitter won't allow it

He has gotten them by the balls. It's part of negotiation tactics! If he withraws his offer now, he would pay $1b fine and walkaway. Twitter shares will tank or He can renegotiate and pay about $40 per share instead of $54

Re: Elon Musk: Doubt About Spam Accounts Could Scuttle Twitter Deal by Tobidarker02: 11:06am On May 17, 2022
I told someone that Elon cannot afford to buy twitter at that price.
The person was laughing.

Omo 10% plenty o. Be like you don’t know what they call 10% when they do the calculations. Twitter isn’t worth $44b then. If bots are atleast 10%, then it should sell for something between $1b-$5b.
Re: Elon Musk: Doubt About Spam Accounts Could Scuttle Twitter Deal by PoliteActivist: 11:12am On May 17, 2022
Emmastan291:
Somebody should please explain further!!!
Oh, Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44B based on Twitter assurance that less than 5% of their accounts are fake.
Musk later determines it is at least 20%. There are INDEPENDENT outside experts who can come in and give a fairly accurate number, but Twitter won't allow it.

He's not just a billionaire, he's the richest man on earth by far. Billionaires don't hardly talk or show themselves. He's way beyond billionaire - that's why he talks too much, like poor people

The entire negotiation was supposed to have been concluded before the announcement but the loudmouth went and yapped about it on his Twitter page angry

He's not the first, before him there were many. If you aren't convinced about something and not getting the needed explanation then drop the idea.

Well, they lied to him - assured him fakes are less than 5%. And won't allow independent auditors to come in and give number

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!

grin grin grin

Elon is opening the book of excuses when he’s on the brink of signing the deal!

Why is he complaining now?why did he jump the gun and public announced the acquisition prematurely without doing due diligence?

I don’t think strong-arm tactics would make him avoid paying that tax cos this touted acquisition has made Twitter as a company socio-financial vulnerable and if the deal falls through it would be less valuable with everything Musk had brought to the public about their membership and marketability as a company and social media platform.
