what is going on here

NEW YORK (AP) — Musk lawyers say Twitter won't accept renewed $44 billion bid for the company, ask Delaware court to halt upcoming trial.

bad news: my car battery was dead this morning
good news: the CAA dude who came to boost my battery spent the 10 minutes of waiting for it to charge telling me how much Musk sucks lol

"Twitter will not take yes for an answer," said the court filing signed by Musk attorney Edward Micheletti. "Astonishingly, they have insisted on proceeding with this litigation, recklessly putting the deal at risk and gambling with their stockholders’ interests."

Whole thing is super fishy

seems like musk wants the trial called off before he gives twitter the money and twitter wants to be given the money first

xps more maneuvers and market manipulations methinks

Makes clear Musk is not doing what is necessary to obtain financing. https://t.co/F3ngBEAJ3r

That is a pretty spicy filing from Twitter.

this fuckin guy

'further mischief and delay'

Just this morning, a corporate representative for one of the lending banks testified that Mr. Musk has yet to send them a borrowing notice and has not otherwise communicated to them that he intends to close the transaction, let alone on any particular timeline. The bank further testified that the main task necessary to close the deal—memorializing the debt financing—could have happened in July but didn’t because Mr. Musk purported to terminate the deal.

it really was just a ploy my god what a lunatic

lmao

he needs that money to occupy mars

judge listen the money is on mars, its mars emeralds

ohhhhhhhh you guys

I just figured it out

this is about the Tesla selling window, innit?

seems plausible that he's buying time to sell tsla stock

if thats the case why doesnt he just tell them that

banter heuristic

Musk asks the Court to stay trial while he tries to close the deal.

Twitter won't agree. You can have trial going on and Musk can continue to close if he wants. No problem! Why should they give up the hammer of the trial when dealing with an untrustworthy partner? https://t.co/sfA55sEecc

It all has a distinct feel of Musk's lawyers flailing their arms in an effort to cause delay in the hope of concessions from Twitter. iow, it looks desperate, but the hours are billable and Musk is permitting them to flail away, so why not?

I am just imagining the billing that was going on at these firms getting ready for this trial on this time frame.

i mean justice delayed is justice denied innit homie

this is how the world ends
not with a merger but with billable hours

Bulk billing dream.

ok man

Elon Musk says his teenage daughter doesn't want to be associated with him because of what he calls 'full-on communism' taught in schools and widespread hatred of the wealthy https://t.co/MNZPabKPbD

gee Elon, maybe you should have been a more positive presence in her life and she would have learned from you how wonderful wealthy people really are.

uh, you have met her by now, rite?

"Can't win them all."

Parenting isn't about winning, you miserable troll.

tbf, who among us doesn't have at least one child that loathes us

it’s tough out here for a g

if you think about it, wealthy people are the real victims in this unfair world

iirc, Twitter should meet Elon Po Po's trick with their own involving the promise of magical ginkgo nuts

I understand they've been lost in the ocean of other stupid things he's said & done, but just wanted to note that his comments about Taiwan are stupid craven bullshit.

lot of ppl are thinking he said it to cozy up to china but i think its prob just cause he likes to talk

he said basically the same thing about russia and ukraine and whats the angle there if anything hes hurting his business by airing an unpopular opinion but he does care he just wants to talk about his dumbass theories

I'm sure there's a lot of truth to that. Everything he says creates an uproar.

Elon Musk is as fucked up as Henry Ford and that's a difficult feat.

he's going to mobilise his stans into an anti-left anti-woke anti-union death squad if we're not careful

you can only tip you cap really

worth noting that a good chunk of the most fervent musk enthusiasts you see online are being paid to do that and or have some other relevant financial interest in the situation

it's just interesting that a lot of Elon's fanbase came from leftists, in the early-going, defending some of his more boorish behavior as his "being an asshole now and then", and right wingers became his fanbase the moment they saw that leftists didn't like him anymore.

one of my best friends is a liberal New York democrat, who hates conservatives and loathed Trump. he's a feminist, he has a transgender child, has created one of the safest spaces in town for autistic children with his c@t c@fe (and both his kid are on the spectrum), and despite all this, he loves Elon Musk, and gets in angry, almost conservative-ish defenses of Elon. and he does this for no one else!

s/interesting/not interesting at fucking all

He didn’t realize murderous antisemitism was bad. Now he does.

A win for the discourse.

glad elon solved antisemitism

"you just gotta keep your feelings about the Jews, which are correct, to yourself, Kanye, or else you'll be cancelled! that's the real lesson here"

the really grating longtermism crap aside, the idea that Musk's involved in things that seem genuinely interesting and his ability to hype up the idea that there is a future where smart electric cars, ubiquitous internet access via satellite, functioning space transit, etc. exist appeals in an uncynical way to people that many other things do not

I think his deployment of these things is cynical

he just goes around saying shit

lol he got rolled

Think (in ridiculous fashion) this is the first indication of what Putin's red line for nuclear use is:

'Musk said Putin told him these goals would be accomplished “no matter what,” including the potential of a nuclear strike if Ukraine invaded Crimea'https://t.co/7aTlTEb0Pt
