If course. He waived DD and signed specific performance clause. And anti-disparagement clause that says he can't terminate even for $1B if he is in breach by talking trash about them.
I think people shouldn’t underestimate how much he can escape from this through litigation but it does seem like it will cost him.

We'll see what happens. He's going to try to get Texas AG to go after Twitter to blackmail them into letting him out of the deal.

I think it’s very unlikely he will be forced into the deal he signed. I’m not sure what that other agreement will be but I don’t think it will be favorable for him.

He might be forced into it. There's case law to that extent.

Who could have seen this coming. It's like liberals are psychic or something. If he doesn't want Twitter anymore he is free to try to sell it once the deal closes.

Yeah, I suspect a very large settlement, but not the 44B takeover.

Looks like he is walking away. I suspect this is as ll about negotiating strategy.
Twitter says they're going to try to force the deal.


OR realizing this does nothing in terms of shit that actually matters to him and the praises of Joe Rogan and kin dont add up to shit.

As smart as Musk is supposed to be, I'm not buying it. He's a puppet for some South African Oligarchs. He must be.,

He is almost CONSISTANTLY wrong on EVERYTHING except the 3 things that made him money.

Maybe he's not actually behind ANY of that except in name only?

Just a guess. I have no evidence to support this except how painfully fucking stupid he is.

Just listening to him is painful.

I love how in the end, this whole parade was about a rich guy saying he was going to buy an overvalued company with no product, and everyone piling on expectations based on that before the anyone actually got paid. Hilarious microcosm of modern society.

He's a brilliant and audacious con man and a master of financial leverage.

The twitter deal was just a ruse to 1) move his idiot fanbois who think Star Trek is actual science further to the right-wing, and 2) get billions of his Tesla stock out before that overvalued shitshow implodes.
He was successful in both respects.

I'm no fancy business expert, but I believe you're supposed to negotiate terms before you sign the contract.

It wasn't just Elon financing the deal. The majority of the money for the deal came from sources other than Elon.

The majority, really?

"Musk is on the hook to pay $33.5 billion in cash"


Far from it, unless you can provide sources to back that claim. Otherwise you are just spewing BS.

Less than half would have been his own money. And he was still finding new capitol investors and bank loans.

Yes but they might not be legally bound to finance it if he tries to weasel out of a contract. Musk is the one legally bound. Whether his financiers are is to be determined.

As his ego has blown up Elon has stopped thinking things through. He demanded everyone come back to the office and people couldn't find parking spaces in the Wi-Fi barely worked for a lot of them because so many people were using it.

I can't wait to see this d-bag spiral into flames
