  1. The ultimate goal is to renegotiate the cronie company deal, and then immediately ban liberals

  2. Time better spent getting Tesla's consumers report rating up.

  3. Twitter exposed. They can “Castle” all they want, but the Chess game is already lost. Elon is a business Bobby Fisher….

  4. Like buying shop and stock then finding out half the cans are empty 😉

  5. The ideas here are wrong. Musk "signed an ironclad deal" based on factors that may not be true. You cant hold a person to a fraud or lie or deception or misrepresentations, thats the stuff of lawsuits that happen everyday in this world. You buy a house and the seller says the roof is 2 years old and not leaking. After you are in its leaking like a sieve and is in fact 28 years old. Guess who is going to lose? Not the buyer. This guy says, "Musk waived inspections." Fine, but that doesnt forgive or dismiss actual lies or deceits. Twitter would have a stronger footing if they kept their mouth shut but they didnt, they claimed Twitter had no more than 5% fake accounts. If its 25%, a very substantial difference, they have a problem, not Musk.

  6. Do you think the bots were the one's that voted for biden ? sound's good to me …… it's called 'bot mules' …….

  7. Doubt very much some of the staff at Twitter are sleeping very well right now .

  8. Wave of rights will NOT apply do to Tweeter fraud.

  9. Twitter. I love crunching numbers, and have long been fascinated by how Twitter affects headlines and subsequently government policy. The numbers don't jive, they never have. In a country of 330,000,000 people, how/why should a Tweet with 20,000 likes mean anything ?? Yet, our headlines and elections seem to sway on them.

  10. Elon wants to pay $42.00

  11. He could save $10 billion easy

  12. If you use Twitter, you may just been talking to bots all along. Your a twitbot!

  13. I thought this "wasn't about the money", and was purely about "free speech"?

    Turns out, it was always about the money, and only about the money. Like I always thought. The whole "free speech" thing is just an advertising slogan so Musk can make more profit if he buys the company. It's like McDonald's offering salads and then calling themselves a "healthy dining choice".

  14. I never had a Twitter account. I just assumed it was free. AOL (AO Hell) charges me $12/month for the privilege of keeping my screenname these 30 years. Yes. I know I am an idiot.

  15. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below…

  16. Every business move musk makes is extremely thought out & planned. Not genius but well thought out educated moves. 100%

  17. Elon is full of it I hope twitter makes him spend all 44 billion.

  18. When a LEFTIST NUT has 400 thousands followers & NONE of them will VOTE on a POLL or RETALIATE or COMMENT ,
    That's a 90 % BOT FOLLOWING!
    TWITTER is a LIAR!

  19. We need to get rid of these politicians who want to sensor we the people and their bogus voting machines and elect Americans who are from the people and for the people. We need to stop them now

  20. Our government the government for we the people wants to sensor and silence we the people now what do we the people do about this????

  21. This is The Twitter Boards "Poison Pill".

  22. as someone who uses twitter, he definitely over payed.

  23. He waved that on the knowledge they gave him that it was supposed to be 5% fake users

  24. Verasity can solve the bots problem

  25. They lied about fake users twitter is acting very fraudulent

  26. He should get a lower price they falsified there true numbers

  27. Twitter are scumbags, liars, bullies and mentally ill, they lie and cheat everything, nothing they do surprises me anymore, degenerates never change their degeneracy

  28. lot of people around the world are leaving twitter there you go i was done with twitter last month so are all my coworkers

  29. Twitter LIED AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. Felons cannot misrepresent themselves as Twitter did and attempt massive fraud worth Billions of dollars and expect the law to ignore one of the largest scams in history. The real value of the stock is a joke and every stock holders should sue! sm

  30. What if the CIA is hard core about NOT SELLING that part of their OPERATIONS???

  31. 25% of 44B = 11B well since he first put up telsa stock and since after his public stunt his value for his telsa stock has dropped big time hes about 11B short in having enough money to cover the selling price. to make up for him being shy of having enough and cant come up with more hes trying to run down twitter stock. really this man made an offer for this company and didnt know anything about it. everyone knows twitter has been cleaning house of fake accounts since trump got called out and fake accounts have been exposed. but to keep the look of his wealth he wants to cause twitter to go down in value or he has to walk away because this rich kid cant afford his new toy. such a shame how will he able to hold his head up at the club after failing to have enough to buy it now.

  32. Why he can't buy the shers in the Day trading

  33. he might have waved due diligence. but if twitter is flat out lying about their user base. i don't know……

  34. Vivek is wrong. Fake accounts are at least 50% and the share price cannot exceed $18. Musk is not going to pay a higher price, he is just playing with those scammers.

  35. Why should anybody believe what Twitter or other socmeds??? Too many weirdos in this world.

  36. If Tesla stock keeps tanking, collateral requirements on the loan he needs to buy twitter will only be higher. Only a dumbass would believe his excuses for holding back on purchase of twitter.

  37. When you’re stupid enough to overpay but also a whiny and entitled enough little toddler to try to worm out of it.

  38. Twitter made a false SEC filing. (Smells like fraud to me.). Waiving detailed due diligence does not excuse fraud by the seller. There may be litigation, but if Twitter is 25% false accounts, since every contract has the implied term that the buyer is entitled to the benefit of the bargain he made (which bargain was no more than 5% fake accounts), no court is going to enforce the contract.

  39. Read more @stillgray tweets

  40. He's right some community own 2 to 5 telephone with diferent accounts..I can make 10 or 20 accounts….

  41. Twitter is worth as much as a Twitter poop.

  42. Makes a lot of sense to me. They lied about what they are trying to sell. False advertising!!

  43. I don’t think Elon Musk is an idiot.

  44. It's not buyers remorse, It's Due Diligence.

  45. He's only doing this to out them and show that half of the "support" for the current administration is completely fake. He wants people to wake up and see all of the lies the Democrats are perpetrating through social media.
