Elon Musk tweeted that his Twitter deal will be on hold after the company reported fake accounts made up fewer than 5 percent of users, though it “could be higher.” Musk later tweeted that he is committed to acquisition. Experts speculate that Musk’s real motive was to renegotiate the Twitter deal even if he had to pay a billion-dollar fee.

I don't get the obsession with this guy. He doesn't relate in the real world to a single one of the people who fawn over him.
People don't think, that when they get rid of fake accounts which Elon apparently wants to do, you lose your right to anonymnity and you're on the line for every word you say which is logged and tracked. And, for sale. To governments, employers even. Free speech online becomes quite a bit more expensive.

so how many of the 6.7 million odd subscribers here are real ppl? LMAO! odds are a 1 real person to 26 fake accounts ratio is here a safe assumption. so the left is nothing but bots 🤣🤣🤣🤣
funny how a farcation of a fraction of MSNBC's subscribers like and comment here…turns out MSNBC is apart of the 54illion bot scam 😂😂😂 like WOW!
working-class here its going to get worse. No one can buy your crap because we spent our money on food.
Sell your stocks Fast before the bottom falls out and u lose all your mojey
He wanted the attention, like he doesn’t have enough already.
2008: Cadbury Schweppes divests Mott's as part of Keurig Dr Pepper. 2008: , violating recommended FDA levels of arsenic.
wait to drop at 20$/share… :))))
At first it was easy to open a new account when they blocked you..
By just using another email address,
But then they were able to block your
Phone……I'm not tech savvy so how do
These people open so many fake accounts?
Buy more stock in Twitter…..talk the price up with talk of purchase…..sell
Shares…..make billions…..pay a billion fine…..or sue to get out of that because of the hundreds of millions of fake accounts.
The puppet master……and he had the leftists doing a jig.
Elon "inventor of pneumatic tires" was never going to buy Twitter …. 420.
Disinformation. Y’all are a bunch of hypocrites. Shame on you. This is nothing but click bait. Tells nothing. Fire your editor, they can’t make clean cuts. You should strive to be better; for the American people.
Musk is evil. He is already Drunk on his power to control the world. I knew he was a liar.
Billions given to Billionaire Musk who has no actual cash to help Billionaire Traitor Trump get back on Twitter.
Billions given to help Afghanistan used by Afghani warlords to build mansions.
Billions given to help Covid initiatives used by American thieves to build mansions.
Billions given to help Greg Abbott bus Mexicans to Washington DC. And now unaccountable billions for Ukraine…
JAIL TRUMP 2022 !
TRUMP IS STUPID.
KEEP STUPID OFF TWITTER.
FREE speech NOT HATE speech.
🏅🐑…. .
Lmao, legally he is obligated to pay the agreed amount, anything else is irrelevant.
Fascinating as he is, Jiminy Cricket is not as rich as Elon Musk.
This guy literally supports China, and all these idiotic right wingers support him, what am I missing? Mark my words this little snake is gonna betray us
Do you think the Tesla will be connected to the brain chip and everything connected to the brain chip, everything on the chip is all connected to the technology, time to go to space, going to live on Mars in my Tesla dune buggy now, been sending supplies up quite some time now, bye bye dumb earthlings, I'll monitor you all from there
They always want to say something bad about this man they're just some jealous-hearted people
Can't blame him really…. Twitter seems like its not what it was when Trump was pumping it up
He's playing investors as fools,a snake in the grass!
He lost money from the crypto crash, Tesla has recalled more than 1/4 of their vehicles, musk is lying. Not bad for a guy whose fortune came from African slave mines.
"Was he high when he made the deal or when he tweeted this?" BOTH. its always both, sir.
The Jerk
Sounds very temporary. Just waiting on the number crunching. I hope it closes and that Elon will allow all people to show their true colors, and be held accountable for their actions. The benefit of Twitter is that it reaches the whole world and it is public, so, communications to incite can't be hidden. The more Trump is out there, they more people hate him. Let's get him back in the public eye.
I wish Elon ban himself from Twitter.
He should sue them for the price…..they falsified the company's numbers.
He wants slavery back
Our country is Twitter – Twattering on the brink of ruin ! Our world has slipped out of Fairy Tail Land into Satan Trump's party favors! No matter what we do now, we are lost as the America we once had and everybody knows it! Ronald Ray-gun counted on the Republican Party to back him when he told Russia to, "TEAR DOWN THAT WALL"! Now we must face the fact that we are at war within our country and out! Not only are we fighting Putin's propaganda machine but Trump and his cult worshippers are cheering Putin's Genius forward. Tuckqeer Carlson does a Russian Podcast l;ive into Russia every night with praise from Putin! WTF !!!???
Amen Amen Diyos Ama I'm prayer 🙏 for us lord lord 🙏 Jesus name Amen
Well this interesting – perhaps it has something to do with Binance inability to back it … because the thieving rat has some fall out from the stablecoin debacle …
Whether he was high or not , his accomplishments can't be overlooked, maybe the person who made that comment should smoke .
Elon hasn't even bought it yet and people are quitting…but why if there is nothing wrong at Twitter? I thought Musk was the "green hero" for the cream filled poo pie protocol libbies, what happened? Elon sent up a satellite network so the Ukraine could stay informed and have digisat support to avoid the enemy during attacks. That was HUGE. He saved countless lives. What did you do, except feel bad for the Ukraine and talk smack?
Spam/Fake is way more than 5% on Twitter.
Maybe he was facing backlash from all the liberals calling him a traitor, a Russian, and a nazi
Highly inflated? 😂
When your savior complex gives you buyer's remorse
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy. I have been earning $ 30,000 returns from my $12,000 investment every 14days.
The GOP-MAGA Confederacy has a master plan to sabotage our democracy. SCOTUS is the Confederacy’s tool: it shall misinterpret the Constitution to permit the Red States to “lawfully” and ruthlessly degrade the hard-won democratic freedoms of their citizens. The resulting national chaos will destroy all that remains of our national unity!
His date said yes, now he won't put the condom on. Screw already
I wish he would do more for Ukraine I know he did his bit but there is so much heartbreak and tragedy twitter is just a trolls paradise
