There is no such thing as an ironclad contract. Delaware has intelligent judges. Not good for him

Fraud is a very high burden to prove. Nothing like layman advice

It will be very interesting to watch how this all plays out. I'm guessing that when it is all said and done, a settlement will be reached where Musk pays a few billion without ever buying it, but a bunch of attorneys - make a whole lot of money in the process. lol

Musk being sued will open the flood gates of info on the falsehoods that is being pumped into minds by fake users and bots. Through the process of legal court proceedings ie discovery he will expose the lies and deception.

Sad though... we all know the outcome will be "sealed" but God bless him for trying!

I think you hit the nail on the head. I don’t believe he ever intended to buy Twitter. He exposed them for what they truly are, propagandist. Don’t ever underestimate his intelligence.

Hmmmm, he dabbles in stuff like overpriced electric vehicles subsidized by taxpayers, space travel, social media, and crypto. Not a fan of the Muskrat.

So your a genius.

I don't think he ever had any intention of buying Twitter - he just needed a "front" to dump a bunch of Tesla stock without jeopardizing the company's image. Even with the penalty, he is still ahead and he got out of some Tesla stock.

Why would Musk buy a company that is made up of fake accounts. Twitter said 5% when in reality Musk made them expose it is over 50%. He was right in walking away, it is nothing more then an extension of radical voices trying to sway the masses into a group think that this is the majority of how people should believe. Advertising and political groups use it for brainwashing the weak who believe it is actually real. So the genius of Musk was to reveal this to the masses.

My better half was driving our Tesla on 466 when a landscaping truck, the driver of which simply did not see her, he explained afterward, pulled out literally right in front of her. Before she could move her foot from the power pedal to the brake, the car had stopped virtually instantly. People nearby couldn't believe it. We still cannot.

Call us short-sighted, but this is all we have any interest in knowing about Elon Musk.

Yes, a point many Tesla haters ignore is just how safe the Tesla is. While it is not significantly "stronger" in a collision, it goes the other route of avoid collisions people could not avoid. It can react in milliseconds to those situations while people take a second or as we get older seconds. And the cars sensors and computers never get distracted by phone calls, conversations, or anything else.

He did not confide in me on why he wanted Twitter, but $44B is pocket change, so it may have been nothing more than a political statement.

Twitters assets are its clients, that is what he was buying. He said that he had reason to believe they lied about actual numbers or real clients, and many of the accounts were bots. If the lied, that would invalidate the contract.

I have not idea if he is a business genius, but he has innovated several high tech fields more than anyone ever. He is the only viable launch system the US has right now, is offering a global internet to people that never had it before, is perfecting brain computer interfaces, has demonstrated a viable EV, is drilling tunnels faster and cheaper than anyone, has a new cell phone in development, and is preparing a personal robot for sale. If he feels like making a $44B political statement with his petty cash, I don’t see any reason I would want to figure out why…

To any detractors, I would recommend listening to some interviews (Lex Fridman on YouTube specifically.) This man is brilliant. Dozens of topics covered in the interviews, in additon to the guy's innovation as mentioned by MartinSE.

He didn't want to buy Twitter, but to expose Twitter. This was intentional, as planned.

If that is true, I really don't think that he accomplished very much.

Thank you. So you know Elon well, and he confided in you? What's that like?

The man thinks on a different level. I only hope that he is the savior of free speech. The country desperately needs it. Most people have no clue about Section 230 and how those in charge have been bought and paid for by Evil itself.
