This article seems to cast doubt on the deal.
But I am sure he could do the deal if he wants to.
The question is why he would want to unless its some dick waving thing.
The amount of debt involved is eye watering and suggest he has little margin of error in making changes to the site.
Maybe he has a rabbit in his hat but I cant see where the profits are coming from.
If he starts charging folk willl abandon the site on day one.He cant take any more ads because it is maxxed out on ads. His biggest attraction aint coming back because he has his own dismal platform to promote.

Is this a good deal ?

There was a discussion about this on a podcast I was listening to the other day. Something about his being able to pull back his bid or make it to where the regulators/Twitter take the hit for the deal not going through.

Sounded far out to me.

Hope he buys it. It'll be interesting to watch.
 
If the deal falls through, I wonder if the leftists will still be calling for Govt oversite and regulation of Big Tech like they are now?
Haha... yeah... the answer is no.

How the left saw Musk before he talked about censorship by social media....

After Musk talked about buying Twitter to end censoring....

He takes over late this summer....
 
Musk would be foolish to buy Twitter and when he realizes what trash he is buying my bet he pulls from the deal and causes Twitter to lose massive value…
Bidding for it has increased his profile for sure. But I also think it would be foolish. People dont need twitter and if he makes big changes that is a risk.

Ive read that it would cost him $1bn to walk away. Its a lot for you and me but perhaps not for him.

Do me a favor and on Twitter search porn and transsexual porn and discover why I am so anti-Twitter….

I mean they could make a great argument controlling content if they didn’t allow smut and prostitution on their site and Musk is a fool if he buys that trash!

Yoiu must be joking Bruce. We have just lost a tory MP who was looking at porn in the Commons. Said he was searching for tractors and all sorts of filth popped up.
He has resigned now but the whole of the UK is now making tractor jokes.

If Musk takes over and implements his reforms and allows all speech people will flood twitter... you think its big now?.... you aint seen nothing like you will see when MAGA comes back....

Well, he was hoping to see some sort of plowing… Anyhoo, Musk would be wised to run from Twitter because it is a horrible buy!

If he allows a free for all he will lose advertisers. Corporations wont be associated with a stormfront type set up.

It's totally possible that he was searching for tractor info.
I was searching for Boxer dog info and beastiality porn popped up.
Thank God the Wife was sitting right beside me when it happened.
