  1. He is scared for his life that's all

  2. Isn't it interesting Tesla just moved to Texas…

  3. Twitter is refusing to show its books which is required, so he’s not the bad guy, he has the right to see those books, I hope the shareholders sue the board of directors big-time

  4. You don't buy any company unless you're thoroughly and absolutely research about that company. It seems Elon Musk was hurry to offer and he made a mistake there.
    Or may be he just play game.

  5. IMAGINE A MAJOR MEDIA CORPORATION OPENING IT'S BOOKS TO ANYONE BAR THE DOJ, FBI, OVAL OFFICE? MUSK DOES.

  6. A MAN WHO ENJOYS TAKING A BEATING FROM AMBER HEARD AND FUNDS THE FUN WITH LEGAL BILL PAYMENTS, IS GENIUS. PURE.

  7. Elon Musk is an American media star. I don't think that any of the fabricated content at FOX 'news' upsets this guy one bit. Elon Musk loves the attention. He follows the FOX 'news' ratings strategy to maintain his popularity. He never criticizes Trump's words or, deeds This is what FOX and Elon consider a free press???

  8. Who gives a F…..shit or get off the pot

  9. Who cares what Elon Musk is doing he just wants attention and he is deflecting from something else please stop reporting on this poor little rich guy really who cares

  10. Elon lost half of his stock value in a year.

  11. Twitter doesn't want you, Elon. You're just an incompetent business person.

  12. 1more bilions dollars for the bots, elon musk its wasting money

  13. Wish he would, this way no daily Drama

  14. 😂 Elon exposes twitter before their stick plummets

  15. You mean his stock manipulation didn't work and it's valued far below when he made his offer. That's why he doesn't want it anymore. Twitter was and is dead.

  16. Musk should buy WeChat of China, rather than Twitter. He is a socialist, considering his close relationship with Chinese government.

  17. Musk unhappy? Again? YAWN!!!!

  18. Do not touch this lot with a barge pole Elon! End of message! LOL!

  19. My greatest happiness is the $ 28,000 biweekly profit I get consistently

  20. twitter needs to open it's books and not just musk should demand such, the SEC needs to do it's duty, advertisers are obviously being told lies and therefore being defrauded……

  21. if i used Facebook or Twitter, I would be part of the problem

  22. It’s actually Elon who is trying to mislead his followers and public. He waived business due diligence. He should have checked everything before signing a contract not after signing a contract .
    Elon trying to get out of this deal without paying the 1 billion fine for pulling out of the deal.
