2022-06-08 15:56:02 Elon Musk threatens to walk away from Twitter deal

Elon Musk has threatened to walk away from his $44bn takeover of Twitter, accusing the social media company of "thwarting" his requests to learn more about its user base. The letter formalises a dispute that has simmered for weeks after Mr Musk declared the deal "on hold" pending further information.

The dispute has raised more doubts about the future of the takeover, which Twitter's board approved in April. Twitter, which has said Mr Musk waived typical rights to due diligence in his eagerness to clinch the deal, added that it intended to complete the takeover at the agreed price and terms. Mr Musk, who faces a $1bn break-up fee and possible lawsuit if he opts out, first raised the issue of the spam accounts on social media last month, saying the deal was on hold but he remained committed to the acquisition.

2022-06-07 14:34:02 Musk threatens to walk away from Twitter deal

Elon Musk is threatening to walk away from his $44 billion bid to buy Twitter, accusing the company of refusing to give him information about its spam bot and fake accounts. Lawyers for the Tesla and SpaceX CEO made the threat in a letter to Twitter dated Monday, and Twitter disclosed it in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The letter says Musk has repeatedly asked for the information since May 9, about a month after his offer to buy the company, so he could evaluate how many of the company’s 229 million accounts are fake. Shares of Twitter Inc. slid just under 3% Monday, likely incensing Twitter shareholders who filed a suit against Musk late last month for deflating the price of the stock. Shares of Twitter are down 23% in the last month.

And that’s when replies started coming in relating to how the move was in line with the same reason the app allows users to disguise the number of likes on their posts. It’s simple, some users just feel a lot more comfortable while limiting these kinds of information.But others didn’t sound convinced and they felt the app was becoming less transparent by the way and hence there just might be a day coming soon where the app would be introducing features that disguise everything.
