who said there was a problem?

point is, one more time, try and keep up tired of explaining this simple fact over and over to your 20 year. legal field mind....

he did not want to buy twitter, he used it as a cover to liquidate stocks, then used the bot story to say that is why he is backing out, when he never was going to purchase it

so it's not a problem, not nefarious... he was just not being on the level about why he claimed to be interested in twitter... none of that is "nefarious intent".. he was not trying to cause harm or do damage, he was just pretending to wanna buy twitter as a reason why he was liquidating stocks he said he would not sell

so the "twitter lied about the bots" excuse is just that, an excuse to not follow through on the thing he was never gonna follow through on


1st grade level grammar,... ooh good burn....so savage.. you wanna tell me to go to bed again or maybe use a meme instead since your own burns are super devastating
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83830541


Holy shit.

So you're saying Musk sold his stock to purchase Twitter, but never really intended to purchase Twitter, and really just wanted to walk away with the profits of his stock sales, so he backed out of the contract and his non-nefarious, nobody-got-hurt, no-problem scheme worked?

You do realize that what you're claiming is fraudulent, or nefarious, intent, right? I mean, seriously?

Wtf is wrong with you? If your "Musk never really meant to buy Twitter" scheme is true, Twitter would have to prove fraudulent intent in order to win this lawsuit. They'd have to prove that Musk never intended to buy. Fraudulent intent is nefarious. What is it that you do not understand?
 Quoting: Dirck de Noorman


no it's not nefarious or criminal to say you want to buy something for a reason you don't really mean

show me where in the legal code it states that is punishable offense

if I say i wanna buy a ferrari cause i like the engine, but really I wanna buy it to get chicks, is that nefarious?

him selling his stocks, was also not a crime... you clearly are not up to speed on musk and what he has told his followers about selling his stocks

in order to win this lawsuit, all twitter has do to is say you backed out of the deal, so you owe us 1 billion in the breakup fee Musk agreed to... does not matter for what reason he wants to back out, he could say he wants to back out because twitter is run by aliens... why he wants to back out is irrelevant, all that matters is he is backing out and he will have to pay the 1 billion penalty they all agreed to

if he had no intent to buy, he should not have signed the contract and agreed to the terms

that is all that matters... his excuses for why he doesn't want it now, does not matter

what is it that you do not understand about that? oh right the simple fact that musk and twitter signed a deal in which they agreed if either party backed out there'd be a billion dollar fee to call it off

again, maybe another 20 years in the legal field for you since basic contractual agreements signed and agreed upon by both parties seems like basic legal field 101

Think about it, on sheer business principal and the possibility of future suits from advertisers you have to have accurate figures or else you become liable for fraudulently mis-representing your companies financial position to both clients , users and stock holders.
 Quoting: PINKORCHID88-Houseclearing


companies do this all the time

big name financial companies sell and trade stocks amongst one another to make it seem like their businesses are more profitable then they are

musk lies all the time about all the new products tesla and his companies will be producing and delivering, and that inflates his stock

every time he is on a stage he says "we will have auto taxis this year and they will make you X amount of money" " we will have self driving trucks and they will save and make you all money" "we will have FSD out next year" which he has siad for 8 years

musk has lied and hyped his companies and claimed they are doing much better then they are and are going to release new products every year that never seem to materialize

meanwhile tesla stock rose to being so overvalued even musk said it was overvalued

The stock market purchases in your instance were a voluntary gamble on the stock market , that's what the stock marked is all about.

Mis-representing a product, deliberate embellishment of numbers for profit in a business market and not the gambling stock exchange is fraud.

It's like telling Sony when selling your company to them , that you have 10,000 users and selling that , for Sony to then find out you only had a thousand at best.

misrepresenting a product, so like claiming you will have full AI robots in 3 months. Or a hyperloop that is just a tunnel with cars in it. Or deliberately putting up numbers about how much money investors will make and save when purchasing auto taxis or auto semis. And those misrepresentations drive stock prices up.

It's like Tesla telling customers and investors they will be able to make and save money by investing in AI taxis or semis, only to find out the semis and taxis are no where ready to roll and are just cgi graphics or models and won't be available as promised any time soon, and the stock prices go up but no products are delivered.

Re: Twitter just hired a big-name law firm to sue Elon Musk for dropping out of $44 billion takeover bid, report says
Do those who currently own the company have an interest in keeping the number of actual bots hidden from view, because the value of the company for people who are using a microblogging platform to influence political opinion and manufacture consensus has a certain unstated worth that cannot be fully disclosed in honest negotiations with an interested buyer who has no intention of using the company in that manner; and do the current owners have an interest in keeping that function of the platform viable for future use by keeping it secret from that type of buyer, in case the merger falls through?

Would the company have a different value for someone who wanted to actually use the platform for its supposed, stated reason for existence as a microblog that is dependent merely on advertising dollars for revenue, as opposed to dark money?

Would it constitute a materially adverse change when someone of the second category seeks to purchase a company based upon numbers that are given by those in the first category, who hide the true nature of the level of bots and the dark money that they currently dependent upon, for legal as well as potential future financial reasons, in case the merger does not go through, and the buyer finds out that the projected worth of the company is significantly less, as they plan to use the company for its actual legitimate intended purpose, because the actual amount of true users is far less; and the value of the stock begins to tank because those who hold the stock based upon their knowledge about how the company is used by the first category decides that the company may lose money because of the true difference in value between category A and category B?

Re: Twitter just hired a big-name law firm to sue Elon Musk for dropping out of $44 billion takeover bid, report says
HEY DUMB FUCKS

twitter and musk BOTH agreed if either walks, there's a billion dollar breakup fee

"Musk and Twitter agreed to a so-called reverse termination fee of $1 billion when the two sides reached a deal last month. "

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83830541


Gee, that must be the end of it then. Case closed. I am sure that is the only line of the contract and it was written up on a napkin by the likes of you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74628864


who said that was the end of it?

that was what musk and twitter agreed to if either side backed out

now they are gonna go argue about it in court, the thing they both agreed to
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83830541


Material breach and material adverse effect. You might want to familiarize yourself with those concepts.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74628864


you might want to familiarize yourself on how often judges award material adverse effect cases

"Elon Musk’s attempt to walk away from his $44 billion Twitter Inc. buyout will turn on a three-word phrase that’s sometimes asserted in busted mergers—but rarely passes muster with judges.

“Material Adverse Effect”

So far, Delaware courts have found only one case in which a clear MAE emerged—Fresenius SE’s $4.3 billion buyout bid in 2018 for rival drugmaker Akorn Inc.

There is significantly more to the agreement than you are trying to present, yet like Twitter, for some reason you want to fail to disclose those material facts to interested parties.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74628864


you think that AC has details to a contract that other people don't?

everyone has the internet
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83832096



Nope. But not everyone has common sense.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74628864


so why don't you use common sense and go look up whatever aspect of the agreement you think a random GLP AC is trying to not disclose to you ?

We're not talking about advertising a new flashy product.

We're talking about misleading advertisers about potential sales and selling advertising space based on those fake numbers.
Fraud.
 Quoting: PINKORCHID88-Houseclearing


right, or like going on stage in front of a semi truck and telling the world Tesla will have self drivinig semis in a year or self driving taxis or Full Self Driving teslas or an AI robot in 3 months... and the stock prices go up, but none of the promised products ever come out

fraud

The stock market purchases in your instance were a voluntary gamble on the stock market , that's what the stock marked is all about.

Mis-representing a product, deliberate embellishment of numbers for profit in a business market and not the gambling stock exchange is fraud.

It's like telling Sony when selling your company to them , that you have 10,000 users and selling that , for Sony to then find out you only had a thousand at best.

Fraud.
 Quoting: PINKORCHID88-Houseclearing


misrepresenting a product, so like claiming you will have full AI robots in 3 months. Or a hyperloop that is just a tunnel with cars in it. Or deliberately putting up numbers about how much money investors will make and save when purchasing auto taxis or auto semis. And those misrepresentations drive stock prices up.

It's like Tesla telling customers and investors they will be able to make and save money by investing in AI taxis or semis, only to find out the semis and taxis are no where ready to roll and are just cgi graphics or models and won't be available as promised any time soon, and the stock prices go up but no products are delivered.

Fraud.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83832096


But he didn't try to sell his company on that.

Advertisers embellish all the time for all sorts of products, but when they go to sell that company they'd better not mis-represent their stock.

Fraud.

Advertising and a Companies actual worth legally are two very different kettles of fish.

he didn't try to sell his company every time he stood on a stage promoting some future new product for his company that was gonna change the world and save and make everyone money?

every time he is on a stage pushing some new future product for his company, he is selling his company and promoting his brands, that's why it drives the stock up because people think the things he is promising to deliver will make his companies worth more and are a good investment

Promoting and selling products you know you don't have and are not ready to pump your stock value = Fraud. just ask Travis Milton and Elizabeth Holmes.

Your argument is mute anyway , we're talking about Twatter not Musk's companies actions.

Some time in the future if Musk sells his actions may be called to account.

But this case is predicated on Twatters lack of disclosing key aspects of their company as per agreement,
not some fortune telling and mind reading of Musks intent.

you don't know words... it's moot, not mute.

and not talking about selling his company like he sold it and left, but "selling" it as being successful and something to invest in, you know what marketign and advertisers do when they try and "Sell" you on a compnay

Travis Milton and Elizabeth Holmes "sold" the idea that their companies were bringing new ground breaking tech to the world.

they "sold" their companies to the public and to investors... and the public and investor bought what they were "selling" and thought the companies were good investments

And both Travis Milton and Elizabeth Holmes were found guilty of fraud for "selling" lies about their company and products to investors and the public.

and no this case is on the agreement both Musk and Twitter agreed to, that if either backed out they had to pay 1 billion in break up fee. Musk is backing out and doesn't wanna pay what he agreed to pay. No need for his intent or reasons to back out, he broke the deal they agreed to.
