It's a masterstroke, I'll have you cheap or I'll bring you down and because it's a rat's nest he'll have no issues doing it 👏👏👏
Who cares. He’s noise and Twitter is noise.
No more money?🤔
Duh, he was always trying to play them.
Twitter has massive spammers and bots and Musk knows this. So it’s weird that he thinks Twitter can prove otherwise or for what Musk demands to be at certain levels. Musk can fix this bot issue himself if he really cares to buy. An odd game Musk is playing here. Or he probably just does not have the money.
How many shares do I need to buy to ask for a unionized twitter? You know the people can speak freely group? WHen america was great 50% unions bro. Today we are at 11% halp usss
In reality he didn't affect the price and now it's stock is worth well below what he offered. His price manipulation didn't work so now he is backing out.
Who gives a f*ck about Elon Musk, this whole thing was about publicity and Musk trying to show his financial power that he didn't really have, he can't afford to buy Twitter and now that his bluff has been called out he wants out. The best thing that can happen here is Jack Dorsey and other Twitter investors just sue him and get it over with. #Musksucks…. 👍
Elon Mushit can't seem to make up his mind.
HE CAN'T AFFORD IT
Peon Musk !
Not a fan of Elon!
I had no issue with him buying twitter but this definately looks like a dangerous gamble on his side. I hope he knows what he is doing.
This guy is such a con man it is impressive what he has fooled people into believing. Honestly top level capitalism play here. That being said musk's ego is pathetic. You can tell he is very sensitive whenever anyone gives him the slightest criticism he turns into a child.
GOOD, now go away and G F Y
Even if his deal goes down. I'm still not going to return to that Nazi app.
Musk is running history’s largest pump and dump scheme. SEC knows they are powerless to prosecute a billionaire. He has absolutely no intention of actually buying anything.
What's the big deal? Twitter just needs to show less than 5% bot / fake accounts and then proceed with the deal. Doesn't sound too difficult.
Good end Twitter….it's super toxic
TRUMP is very sad now lol
Fk Elon Muck and Twitter.
This is why U don't worship folks that sit on billions while children starve
Horsetrading ?
I am starting to get tired of Elon, If you think about it, he always wants to be in the headlines 24/7.
He never intended on buying it. When flexing goes wrong😂😂
Is man is creepy!!!!!!
I'm glad he's backing out. He's not mature enough to have access to private info. This is the same guy who pokes fun at people aging when he's no spring chicken himself.
elon is still whinnying about something.
How many bot accounts does elon have on Twitter?
He's just playing his game again.
elon if you were half as important as you think you are people with brains would probably listen 🤷
Money 🚫 Brains
Social media will not exist in a few more [seconds] 🙂
