There is endless posts on _ON TWITTER_ posted by Elon, the brainiac himself, proving he is a pathological liar and abuses social media to illegally manipulate stock prices. Those are both facts. Elon is effed. He most likely can't afford buying Twitter any longer without giving op control of at least one of his companies and he is doing the dumb and greedy thing, trying to ditch on the bill.

I'd say, Elon has already delivered all the evidence against himself. He's the corporate version of Dingus Con. Too dumb for his own good. Just lucky with money. For the time being.

Everything else is confidential data Elon doesn't have a flying f 's entitlement to get access to. If he wants something else, he will have to pay the 44 billion dollars.

They on... moreIt's kind of hard to make the argument that the Twitter stock price is "down" because of Musk.... Looking at the data, prior to his negotiations and announcement of buying Twitter, the stock price was 39USD/share. For the past month, the stock price has been hovering between 32.65USD (low) and 39.51USD (high).

            So, it's relatively UNCHANGED since prior to this whole saga. That won't hold up well in court, lol. Maybe they can provide some kind of data showing a drop in active users on the platform since Musk's announcements. But I doubt that. It's likely that the user count has gone up since then.

They on... moreYes, as long as Twitter can prove that the data they provided Elon is accurate and sound they can continue the litigation against him. If it is not accurate, Twitter already agreed to his departure from the agreement to buy the company.

                And so the fall of the blue birds begins...

He's been forced to step down as chair from his own company. He's been fined tens of million dollars and been warned on multiple occasions for his lies, defamation and fraudulent behaviour.

                  That is real evidence. Written by real judges in real American courts, not by some whiny influencer buddy on Twitter.

                          Anonymous, 12 Jul 2022No.Not all company acquisitions are like online purchases on Amazon to cancel an order. Twitter gets harmed financially if the contract gets canceled by Musk (which is not up to him now) and Twitter will get compensated. In fact most US sellers have a restocking fee if they agree with the return of the product, yet up to them whether the seller agrees for a return. The drama is Musk lacks cash and he try find a way to sell his stock without implications for Tesla share immediate depreciations once the word gets out that he sells his stock.

                                  I've never heard a company sue another company to buy it. Twitter is so desperate, and I'm sure that nobody will buy it in the future.

                                      Twitter is the end for Musk, 1 billion fine or 44 billion to purchase it is the same, a deadly pill to Musk, one or 44 make no difference, he does not have such large sum of money outside his stock which cannot sell and he cannot find investors to finace Twitter's acquisition after bad mouthing it.
