  1. Net worth has crashed, stocks, bitcoin Tesla. Both sides, lenders and Musk have 2nd thoughts also he got great free PR from it and probably achieved his goal.

  2. Renegotiate the offer because it was made while Twitter's official declaration of daily active users reflected the wrong numbers.

  3. Just shows dems are all about money and power. Elon be careful

  4. Elon we the true American patriots are w you!

  5. Wouldn't you go for a better deal,he can afford to negotiate the price? Twitter trying to bring up the price .

  6. I could tell you, but you wouldn't understand!!

  7. Well Elon musk is being a business man and is just looking for a fair deal. With all these accounts and they sa y

  8. It's all about exposure ND truth of who,, whom has been supporting this platform. And it should be. Where's the money and crimes

  9. hes scared hes gonna die buy suicide……….😬

  10. So it's not fraud if they are all doing it?
    Sophists are disgusting.

  11. Joe Biden step down

  12. Purchase Twitter for 41 billion? What a chump. The end of Elon Musks fortune unless he has come to his senses.

  13. "Elon Musk says Americans 'are trying to avoid going to work at all,' unlike Chinese workers who 'will be burning the 3 a.m. oil'"

  14. Because they claimed to have less 5% accounts as fake.

    And it looks a lot more than 5%.
    Some are saying as high Al's 50% that is pure fraud. If Elon takes on investors without checking that out he will be open to being soon. These reporters and guests you have are completely incompetent.

  15. Musk please, do not pay a dime to Twitter, they have done enough damage

  16. Musk is going to buy Twitter. He got look at the books and found some creative math and and Oops and several I forgot. The next offer the Twitter Board sees will be just a tad less and they will accept it and get out of Dodge.

  17. eLON lololol first of all it's Mr. Musk, secondly, the accent is on the E in Elon

  18. Burn Twitter to the ground

  19. Musk is a welfare king he gets all his money from us taxpayers

  20. elon back half this bailout with telsa stock. since then it has lost 30%. so he is 7.5 BILLION short in having enough money to close this deal. rich man too broke to buy new toy. but what he has done has cost telsa and twitter investors over 200 BILLION in stock loses. just think he lost you enough money you could have paid for the ukraine war 20 times over. but why arent you worried? and why isnt this, the facts on fox news. they dont want their rich buddy looking like a teenager who cant afford his first car.

  21. Did Elon musk finally find out that Twitter has a government lawsuit against them right now the Republicans are suing and investigating Twitter for first amendment and censorship I hope Eli knows this is what’s going on I don’t think he will buy Twitter if he knows

  22. Walk away from Twitter it's a mess.

  23. This is pure stock price manipulation and nothing more. This guy should have to pay a humongous fine and compensate shareholders for losses suffered due to this fraud.

  24. Who really knowsπŸ€”???

  25. twitter is a worthless company that has few real assets and makes no $.
    if musk buys at that price it could be the greatest business disaster of all time.

  26. Drop Twitter like a hot potato πŸ₯”.

  27. Elon musk is playing the people's money by promoting crypto currency that had no commodity backing and no gold or even silver standard….

  28. Musk is a horrible poker player… The CEO of Twitter called his bluff..

  29. Elon is playing the game, and playing it very well. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

  30. So far on share price alone he is better to bail. He has a billion dollar penalty clause thats a lot less than the loss in share price.

  31. Because The Woke Government Assbags Are Attacking Him

  32. Hope Mr. Musk follows thru with being out Twitter, as us Americans' are looking forward to freedom ofspeech, and not be censored. Plus, sounds like he's for the American people. We look forward having him on-board, and hope he doesn't default on this Twitter purchase. May God bless him to make the right decision.

  33. Weird video. That’s the problem with the news they just cut off a great conversation πŸ˜’

  34. WELL. THEY CAN'T THINK EVERYBODY WANTS THEIR CO,,,,ELON. UR. BRILLANT. MAKE. UR. OWN. NEW. CO. PLEASE

  35. Why? Because he doesn't have enough money to go through with it. He is trying to sneak out of the deal.

  36. LOL, Why am I not surprised.

  37. DAY 115 BIDENS WAR ON AMERICA

  38. It seems quite obvious. His offer was too high.

  39. Mismanagement at every level of government in the USA

  40. too soon to tell or say anything. All opinions on here are premature

  41. Vote to get rid of Biden/Harris..AOC and the Squad in the next election πŸš™πŸš™πŸš™πŸš™πŸš™πŸš™πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘..Let's Go Brandon!!πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—..Vote for Trump in the next election….GOD BLESS THE MAGA KING!!!…πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
