I’m not sure he has a particularly strong case for this.

and you are an idiot

the purchase agreement requires they provide the bot data with proof of real accounts vs bot accounts to verify the companies value.

they refused to do this, refusing voided the deal by their own actions, elon doesnt have to buy it or pay any penalty because they voided the terms of the agreement

if they sue, in order to sue they must prove in open court for the whole world to see, all the bot data with proof of real accounts vs bot accounts to verify the companies value. if they do this, they prove they have broken several laws and many twitter twats are going to jail. providing that info will also force them to revalue the company based on the accurate info which means twitter will be valued for sale at around $25 a share or less then have of elons original offer price.

if they dont provide the bot data with proof of real accounts vs bot accounts to verify the companies value, they lose.

there is no way elons can lose here, they are damned if they do damned if they dont. they will be going to jail over this and twitter will be revalued at less then half its worth no matter if elon buys it or not

How do you figure?

Musk made the offer based on the company information that Twitter reported. The user count is a significant portion of the value of the company, if that count includes a hefty chunk of bots rather than real users, the company has less value. Twitter has been reporting that user count to SEC (defrauding shareholders if it's false) and advertisers.




Musk is saying you can't trust their numbers...

This is how the left thinks. They work off a right now (Today) mentality rather about a tomorrow mentality.

This isn’t left vs right. This is a highly paid legal battle with very skilled lawyers protecting the interests of their clients.

If you don’t know the reason why this was suit was filed in Delaware, you might want to find a coloring book to keep you busy.

The purchase agreement was written to exclude any due diligence. This was a rash decision by Musk and he got burned. He will either buy with a minor (5%?) discount or pay $10 billion to walk away.

Indeed. But presumably Musk made his decision based on public declarations and affirmations TWTR made in it's SEC financial statements that were clearly incorrect after the offer was made. Perfectly reasonable to think those were correct, and to base the offer on those affirmations.

Not unlike putting a piece of property that was advertised as 5 acres. But on survey says it's 4.25. The misrepresentation is a problem because the subject purchase isn't what the offer was made on. That's not the same as "due diligence".

They have to file suit. What are they going to tell their investors, “hey, Musk decided to back out of his purchase at $54.20 a share and we just let him do it?”

Just remember that the lawyers get paid whether they win or lose. Do they really care?
