prediction time:  dax turns on Elon for calling trump an old loser with a huge disgusting fat stomach

[sonofdaxjones]

Dax is just here to observe and enjoy the total meltdown by #blueanon at the prospect of Musk buying Twitter.

Starting with: Now the algorithms matter and moving on from there to more hilarity.

All those Federal spooks and Russian/Chinese/Ukrainian Bots on Twitter.

sd I haven’t followed this as closely as you, did musk say he’s backing out because they won’t provide him with tangible numbers around the number of bots that makeup the user base?

FOLKS!

sd I haven’t followed this as closely as you, did musk say he’s backing out because they won’t provide him with tangible numbers around the number of bots that makeup the user base?

I think his attorneys claim a few things:
1) bots higher than they had told him
2) twitter wouldn't give him required access/info to evaluate the above
3) they made changes to the business from the time he made the offer to closed that made it way worse of an offer

[wetwillie]

I will await spracnes thorough review, however I think he may have mumped up pretty big on this one.

but all of the above is 100% horseshit and he realized he mumped up bigly offering roughly 2x-3x the fair market of some company he had to personally leverage his (surprisingly) small remaining tesla shares to buy and get backing for. He couldn't afford to pay anything CLOSE to what he had offered after he:

1) made an outrageous offer to make a 420 joke
2) the market eat absolute crap immediately following cratering twitter shares (should it not be for his outrageously rich offer)
3) and having his leveraged shares also eat absolute crap

bigtime

[catastrophe]

He’s in big trouble, but he’s playing defense right now and can drag it out for a long time to try to force a settlement. Basically looking to spend like $100 million in fees to save $1 billion (or more).

[steve dave]

Spracne or someone else can correct me here but my understanding is that the DE court does NOT eff around in business dealings. It’s 100% their thing and they will 100% assure it remains their thing. Correct?

[wetwillie]

So twitter fended off a hostile takeover and will likely collect 1B in additional revenue from Elon? Someone probably deserves a raise on that one.

I started to read the Verified Complaint, but then I was ambushed by some actual billable work, so I might not be able to give you my quick and dirty soon. I am interested in reading it though, so I'll get back to it at some point.

This is 100% what the Court of Chancery exists for. These guys and gals are all experienced business litigators with bigtime credentials, and you can't just gaslight them. It may take 2 years to get through the motion to dismiss phase and discovery, but they're surprisingly efficient at whipping a case to trial even in these highly complex cases. They love trials and frequently deny requests to file motions for summary judgment (in lieu of a trial). It will be interesting to see which Vice Chancellor is assigned to the case, as some are more plaintiff-friendly than others.

Texas is exploring setting up a similar complex business litigation court, and I'm here for it, because your run-of-the-mill state court judges suck butt.

Musk won’t get a kangaroo court, but he’ll get his day in court if he wants it, which COULD still take years.

[cfbandyman]

Whatever it takes to eff him over I'm for it. He needs to brought down for his many misdeeds. I might actually consider buying another tesla if he's no longer able to do a goddamn thing anymore.

I feel like we have been over this that he was never, ever, possibly going to buy twitter.  He did it to troll magas and just looking at this thread and your posts in it, he went Aaron judge.  You were presenting to him, wallowing with your eyes squinted.
