  1. Musk is the da Vinci or our time… most influential african american ever.
    This fight is going to be spectacular.

  2. Lol he got sued he deserves this lmao because he might lose all of his money and cant wait to see him on the streets and he is lying about owning the Tesla company and he is so rude can’t wait to see you poor Elon musk

  3. Musk wanted to buy Twitter because he wanted to improve it by cleaning up all the bots, but now he wants out of the deal because he thinks Twitter has too many bots. What a “genius”

  4. Ironic how Musk accuses Trump of too much drama.. Of course, Trump accuses Musk of being a liar. The irony is completely lost on these narcissists. They should just start a reality show for us all to laugh at.

  5. T.H.A Natives Americans Families, black hole 🕳 with limitless galaxies? With automatic self defense… to tolerance zero to bully’s ( local and worldwide terrorists ) we T.H.A are we ready ????

  7. twitter lied by the way about how many accounts they have thats why he didint buy it twitter is a liar like always 💀💀

  8. Solar body Solar body tires turn and charge special built in frame for wind charging and you get infinity car MUSK IS A PUNK

  9. Bitcoin can save the world from WW3. It means the world can use the same digital assets without discriminating against each other's currencies, geographical locations or other races; therefore the world shall be united instead of wars if we use Bitcoin. I believe fiat currencies will not be there in the future since it's hard to transfer values adjusting the technology era. We are in a transition time coming out of the industrial era and fiat currency use, and entering to absolute technology era and digital assets. Bitcoin is a great opportunity for knowledge workers who want volatility in the financial market that Forex, stock market or fiat currency can not make

  10. To take over the country? Wtf is she on?

  11. Why doesn't Elon Musk become the President of South Africa?

  12. He did the right thing, disrupting Snowflakes on Twitter

  13. Twitter gets what it wants. Freedom to censor as it pleases and maybe those lawsuit bucks. And bot accounts are still secret. If the facts got out Twitter's value would plummet. Meanwhile lawyers clocking them dollars.

  14. What is the law about lying about the value of your company when selling it? You know… cooking the books?

  15. Breaking:
    Judge dismisses suit filed by Twitter on grounds that Elon has no history of ever "pulling out."

    "He has never pulled out before, so he must have a good reason. I'ma let this play out," said Judge Harry T. Stone. "It's high time we stop inserting ourselves into every lovers' quarrel."

  16. Everyone knew Twitter used bots. its corrupt . Twitter looses.

  17. Elon musk is a big joke. He bought Twitter because he had convictions. L but he wasn't man enough to stand by them. I don't care how much money he has. No respect. When you make it a decision you follow through with it. Every man I ever know taught me. the only thing I can say is that Elon musk not a man he's an opportunist.

  18. Are they sure they've outsmarted Elon Musk? I don't believe the U S has an extradition agreement with any planet except Venus.

  19. Elon is going to get Twitter much cheaper now. You people don't seem to understand. Twitter refused to disclose information algorithms about the bots prior to purchase, they told him raw numbers and refused to disclose how they got that information. It will go to court. It will now be disclosed. It is much higher than Twitter is stating otherwise why would they hide this before purchase?? Twitter is the shady one here. Elon will get Twitter for pennies on the dollar now. Elon is brilliant and has checkmated Twitter one way or another. He either destroys the bot enterprise Twitter and/or he gets to buy it at a fraction of his bid. Its a win/win for Elon either way. Think of it this way people. When you put a bid in on a house for the asking price, you still send in an inspector to validate the house's structure…If it fails the inspection, you can withdraw your offer and/or lower it….

  20. BWAHAHA… #Twitter tried to sell #ElonMusk a lemon and then they got mad when he wanted to look underneath the hood… 🤷🏾‍♂️ Lolol. Basically he started asking all the questions about the "ghost" accounts that have no faces and have the egg 🥚 picture on Twitter (some fake accounts actually have pictures)… These fake accounts Twitter uses to sway opinions and push certain content artificially instead of naturally occurring viral moments… For example… Twitter doing "ghost" ads that a company pays for that gets likes and retweeted from fake accounts not actual people, so a guy's new invention of nose hair clippers for example, may not even be advertised to real people eventhough he paid Twitter for it… Twitter didn't want to disclose the information about these accounts before Elon bought the company… It's a frivolous law suit… Twitter isn't better or worse because of Elon Musk… To me Elon Musk is a smart man who made a wise choice… Before you buy a car you should always look underneath the hood…

  21. Curious, fo you need to be braindead to work at NBC News? Or just experience with cooking propaganda and narratives?

    Just wondering.

  22. This just in. Noone cares about NBC.
