Elon Musk

ha! he still has to pay them a billion to weasel out, right? Twitter might actually turn a modest profit in July

according to the contract he still has to pay the entire cost and in fact buy the company, the billion termination fee is for if somehow he couldnt get the deal done his financing fell through or whatever, but of course hes the richest man in the world so he can just buy twitter out of pocket which he has agreed to do

Be funny if they banned him

he can go to court maybe twitter will get sick of him and say fuck it but it seems like people who know what theyre talking about are saying this is a very open and shut case, he has agreed to buy the company

Here’s the letter

Oh, the billable hours.

This will free up funds for his hostile takeover of ILXor, we're all in for a big payout

doesn't sound very hostile

would he even be the worst poster?

see you in the court of chancery bitch

The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement. We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Banning him would be bad for business and probably bad for their soon to be lawsuit somehow but god would it be funny.

ok it is pretty funny that all of Trumpland is mad at him now too

He should pour billions of dollars into the Libertarians.

But for an accident of birth we could have a Musk/Yang '24 campaign.

remember when everyone was excited about Kanye running in 2020 cuz it might peel off some of the Trump votes

I think Elon could actually do it

we'll never get to find out

jarndyce & jarndyce concludes when the money at issue is finally entirely eaten up by court costs

this might be a way down the road -- and it also might not be as far down as musk fronts it -- but it would be an amusing conclusion: EM fully beggars himself with years of litigation lol 🤞🏽

smartest businessman in the world spends billions on not buying something

It’s notes you don’t play

haa

Don’t see that happening

eion musk

Well you got me, well done

I never recommend Twitter but today I do. Simply for reading the Elon Stan's who r insisting Twitter execs are going to jail for fraud lmao

This is a brilliant move by Elon Musk. First he made an offer Twitter couldn't refuse, with the caveat of Twitter cooperating with due diligence. Unsatisfied, Musk backs out. If Twitter sues, the discovery process will sink Twitter as sure as an iceberg sank the Titanic.

god i wish somebody blindly loved me like that

something weirdly touching in their faith that he became the richest man in the world through being some sort of genius instead of incredible luck of birth & government subsidies.

To be fair he did put the board in an impossible position and has done damage that will take years to fix. Doesn’t really matter if that was his intent.

Yiiikes

I'm sure there are legal/fiduciary reasons you have to say that, Bret. But if I was still on the board, I'd be asking if we can just let this whole ugly episode blow over. Hopefully that's the plan and this is ceremony.

man he keeps owning the libs

vaguely wondering if musk timed his termination of the acquisition to draw attention away from the twins story

"Another" bullshit artist? A rare moment of self-awareness from TFG.

xp not to draw comparisons to any political figures of late, but I feel like Elon's definitely leaned into the strategy of constantly doing some new bullshit to draw attention, and I don't think it's a calculated "don't look at that, look at this!" thing. just a never-ending stream of bullshit

tesla q2 results next week which he's been expectation managing about for a while now

nah having a ton of kids with a bunch of different women is something he's very much proud of and I think he gets off on the fact that pictures of the women he's sleeping with are going around

that said he definitely has that need to make every news cycle revolve around him at all times, each new controversy is a new opportunity to defend yourself and piss off the haters, plus (like Trump) there's probably something to be said for his shitposting being the reason for at least some of his success

If you give a narcissist some nookie

Responding to the video on Twitter, Musk said: “Yeah, actually not good. Team is assessing damage”.
