Elon Musk Has Been Making Memes About Twitter’s Lawsuit Threats
Last week, Elon Musk decided that he didn’t actually want to buy Twitter for $44 billion and released a statement informing everyone that Twitter had misled him, and therefore he was backing out of the deal. That’s not good, considering Elon and Twitter signed a contract with Elon agreeing his intention to follow through with the purchase, and Twitter let it be known several times that they’d happily summon their team of lawyers on Elon, should he metaphorically skip town. So no one should be surprised that Twitter is lawyering up. But according to Elon’s recent Twitter activity, he’s not bothered in the least. In fact, he’s casually making ha-ha-has and tee-hee-hees about the whole mess.
It’s Looking Like Elon Musk’s Twitter Deal Might Not Go Through (UPDATE)
UPDATE: Yup, as expected, Stunt Queen Elon has let Twitter know in a letter from his lawyer that he’s terminating the deal, and it’s probably going to get legally messy. via Market Watch:
“Mr. Musk is terminating the Merger Agreement because Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement, and is likely to suffer a Company Material Adverse Effect.”
Below is the original post:
Well, I’m starting to think that Elon Musk won’t end up being Twitter’s official cringe-based overlord after all (I really shouldn’t have pre-ordered those 200 t-shirts to sell out of my car). We’ve known for a while that Elon has been stalling on his $44 billion purchase of Twitter since he made a deal with them in April. Since then, Elon has been pulling some “Whoops, I must have left my wallet in the car!” shenanigans, by way of accusing Twitter of not being totally forthcoming about how many Twitter users are spam bots. And by all accounts, it sounds like Elon might be changing his wallet-in-the-car story to just straight-up dine-and-dashing.
Elon Musk Is Ready To Walk Away From His Twitter Deal Because Of The Alleged Spambot Issue
Elon Musk seems to be having some major buyer’s remorse over his recent announcement that he’s buying Twitter for $44 billion, and he has made it known that he is ready to back out of that deal in an instant, if Twitter is unable to provide Elon with the information he needs before he forks over all those billions. And what does Elon want? Exact numbers on just how many fake accounts a future Twitter owner might find on such a social media platform. Twitter has explicitly stated that they’re 100% committed to the sale, by any means necessary, like by bringing in a team of lawyers and enforcing a merger agreement. But Elon doesn’t care about that right now. All he wants is the details on those fake accounts.
Bette Midler Got Shit For Her Response To The Baby Formula Shortage
Bette Midler is well-known for a lot of things: singing, acting, and running her mouth online. Guess which of these talents has landed her in hot water? If you responded, “Bette, for your sake, get off Twitter,” then you’re right! The actress recently commented on the baby formula shortage hitting America and did it with the nuance and grace that you come to expect from Hollywood royalty. In other words, she said something tone-deaf on Twitter and got some heat!
In The Wake Of Elon Musk’s $43 Million Twitter Purchase, Jameela Jamil Has Quit Twitter
Some famous and non-famous people heard the news that cringey billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter for $43 billion, and they responded by threatening to pack up their 140 characters and their expertly-edited profile pictures and quit Twitter for good. Some actually went ahead and followed through with their promise. Like Jameela Jamil, who will no longer be chiming in with her unsolicited two cents on everything on Twitter, because she’s officially done with the bird app.
Elon Musk Now Wants To Buy Twitter For $43 Billion In Cash
Elon Musk might have finally bested Jeff Bezos in the billionaire race to spend their billions in the most shamelessly self-serving way. A 4-minute trip to space that wastes tons of money and burns through an obscene amount of resources and fossil fuels? Ha! That’s nothing compared to the $43 billion Elon has pulled from his dorky velcro wallet and offered up to buy Twitter outright, by purchasing all the shares he doesn’t currently own. You know, I’m proud of Elon – he’s really leaning in hard to the whole “evil rich guy desperate for everyone to love him and even more desperate to prevent anyone from making fun of him” vibe. But slow down Elon, the self-awareness is almost too much!
