Elon Musk announced early Friday morning that his bid to purchase Twitter is on hold pending more information about how many accounts on the platforms are bots.

Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users,”
Musk tweeted.


Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Sounds like the Twitter execs. lied about how many Bot (fake) accounts they actually use.

Since this announcement by Musk, Twitter stock has dropped another 24%.

Wasn't talking about "the deal". Was talking about the bulschit media spin doctors.

Bet he still buys it, but he's forcing them to tell the truth to the world before he does.

Duno, but if they lied, that’s bad right, is that “criminal, fraudulent” ?
…and now the stock is heading for the [bleep], Will Musk get a better deal, or can this lead to a complete dismantling and shutdown of Twitter?

Yup he will continue to drive down purchase price.

Repricing the sale and pulling back the curtains hiding the board and management’s fraud. If there’s a huge percentage of bots and the board and management knew that then regardless of the deal with Musk they’ve been committing securities fraud. It will also call into question the other social media companies.

Let’s hope.

The question remains however, what will our Justice System do about it?

Maybe Musk should buy the Fire and clean it up as well.

Relying on Musk's statements today and trying to figure out what his positions will be a few days from now is a fool's game.

It's like buying a car from a supposedly reputable dealer. They say low miles, excellent condition, worth every penny - so you agree to their asking price, pending a vehicle inspection.

Now you find the engine has no compression, the brakes are shot, the transmission is burnt, the interior is full of mold. All their lies are exposed and their reputation is now in the toilet. You can either walk away or lower your offer. Either way, the dealer has been exposed as a liar and a fraud.

Now Twitter shares are tanking. Elon can either walk away, or keep peeling back the layers during his due diligence assessment and see what else he exposes.

What's happening is a normal part of "discovery" during the "due diligence" process. Deal might fall apart but i doubt it. Price can get adjusted up or down. In my case I reorted a new development that caused the buyer to pay me several percent more than had been agreed.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
