He's still claiming he can't verify the trolls. I don't buy it. I think someone finally sat him down and told him that he couldn't do what he said he was going to.

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa

@@@

So as a random, it was just revealed he had secret twins? At the exact same time the musician had their second baby? And the secret twins’ mom is his subordinate at a company? And he’s saying on Twitter that he’s doing his part to alleviate the birth rate decline?

He really is a disgusting pig.

[rubytue]

Of course he is 🙄

[ssmjlm]

So are there are legal ways to get him for this? I just hate him and want him to go away.

[NewOrleans]

No Twitter, don’t sue. Let him go peacefully to ruin something else.

Plus it is alleged that Amber Heard's daughter is his. If that's true that would be 11 kids.

I’ve seen the “this is the first thing he’s ever pulled out of” joke about 400 times on Twitter, and I AM HERE FOR IT EVERY TIME. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry, Not ok of me. Added the @ now. My apologies to anyone hurt by my thoughtlessness.

WAT?!

I bet his lawyers hate him. I'm positive there is some sort of fine in the contract between him and twitter, in the event the sale doesn't go through. I'd love to know what it is.

It's 1 billion dollars. I'm sure he'll try and get out of it though.

omg. I'm going to enjoy seeing him try to squirm out of it.

Did this need to become an @ thread?

Dammit people

Sorry - deleted my post.

There are some deep dive-y posts about how Elon did all of this to artificially boost his Tesla stock and he'll fight to get out of the $1B falling out part of the contract because he's gross and will make it political.

One of the guys we game with is high up with Tesla and he said it's been the sky is falling mentality for the last year and has gone into overdrive since the Twitter purchase started.

Tesla just laid off hundreds of people. And stock fell a lot too.

I know that Tesla has reached the limit of cars sold for the EV federal tax credit which diminishes the incentive to buy one, and a lot of exciting EV’s or PHEV’s have been or will be released, so maybe Tesla is past it’s prime.

This is my shocked face... 😒

I said back when this mess started that he is a troll. He uses Twitter to manipulate the stock market. He's done it multiple times now, and I really hope someone nails him with major fines (at least). It seems so obvious to me as an outside observer that's what he's doing, but I know it's hard to prove intent so I doubt he'll see any real consequences.

They should have included a permaban from Twitter if he canceled the sale. Missed opportunity.

I feel like he learned this from DT.  The only one I remember specifically was Nordstrom— they stopped carrying Ivanka’s brand or something and he went off on them and lowered their stock, if I recall correctly.

Twitter suspected his account 🤣 

Edit. Ok. Funny but false. And I will put myself in the corner for not fact checking.

I don't think this is true. The account is still there.

🤬🤬🤬 dammit Ruby. Fact check. Sorry

[aliciabella]

10 bucks he "backed out" because they couldn't valid his funds for purchase. He is such a piece of shit.

Last night, I gave my (non-lawyer) husband a quick Law 101 on suing for specific performance versus damages, and he was amazed that’s even an option. 😆
