Elon Musk who is the richest man in the world and a frequent guest on the Forbes list, has announced his desire to purchase the social media firm Twitter.Last the month of April Musk made an offer to acquire Twitter at a price of $44 billion. Musk stated then that the intention was to turn the service into a place that allows free speech.Three months after, Musk withdrew his offer because Twitter did not provide sufficient information regarding the amount of fake, or false, accounts.The agreement to buy Twitter will require Musk to pay $1 billion to the company in the event he doesn’t close the transaction. Twitter has however opened an action in court, also known as a lawsuit, in order to make it more difficult for Musk to complete deal. deal.This last week Musk said to Twitter in an email that he was looking to complete the deal in the manner they had previously agreed in April. He also demanded the end of this legal proceedings that is expected to begin within under two weeks Delaware. Delaware.Twitter said it would like to conclude this deal with $54.20 per share, after receiving Musk’s letter. The social media giant has not stated if it would close the case against Musk.
Andrew Jennings is a professor at Brooklyn Law School. He said to that the Associated Press, “I don’t think Twitter will give up its trial date on just Musk’s word — it’s going to need more certainty about closing.” Jennings pointed out that Twitter could be also concerned that Musk might be acting merely to delay legal process.
Musk has attempted, but unsuccessfully tried to delay the process two times before.
Musk’s argument for the Twitter deal
Musk declares that Twitter did not accurately measure fake accounts it lists on their site.In July Musk said he had the right to terminate the agreement without penalty since the amount of false accounts was significantly higher than the Twitter estimate that it was less than 5 per cent users. The amount of accounts that are active is crucial for advertising rates as well as the overall worth that the site provides.
However, the Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, the Delaware court’s chief judge, was likely to focus the case on the contract with Musk as well as Twitter and any possible changes that might end the agreement since it was made on April.In this same month an ex- director of security for Twitter initiated legal proceedings against the company.
Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, said the company was deceiving its employees regarding its attempts to manage fake accounts and improve its cyber security.
What made Musk alter his mind after this?
It wasn’t immediately evident why Musk decided to not pursue the court battle. However, Eric Talley, a law professor at Columbia University said he was not shocked at Musk’s choice. He added, “On the legal merits his case, it didn’t appear at all strong.”Musk will make an oath in Court on Wednesday. Also, Talley said “a number of unsettling facts would be coming out.”The Tesla and SpaceX founder could also face rising costs. If he loses in the court, the judge might not only make him shut down the deal, but might require interest payments which will increase the cost.Musk and his associates haven’t responded to inquiries from media outlets about the latest proposal to conclude this Twitter deal.A user of Twitter, Musk wrote on the social media site on the night of his death: “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.” Musk did not offer further information.
