Financing falling through would allow him to back out without risking being sued for breach of contract, but he'd still have to pay the $1b fee, no?

If he maliciously manipulated things so the deal fell through, Twitter could try to sue him for more than the $1bln.

A new potential derailer. Musk claims tesla factories are losing billions, to try and cause share price to tank temporarily. Could result in the financing falling through because the collateral dropped in values, allowimg him to back out with no penalty
Brand new factories losing money is not news.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Why?

Seemingly due to fake accounts.

KolHaolam: CALIFORNIA: JUST IN: Elon Musk has terminated his agreement to purchase Twitter, in letter to board he cited lack of info on bot accounts.

All the people who bought in thinking it was anything more than trolling that got out of hand

Eta: the ideal response here for twitter would be to ban musk's account

First it was Musk who wanted it and the board who didn't, and the roles have turned

This is either a joke, or the writer is clueless about Elon Musk. If nothing else, this sentence is ridiculous "he sold 20,000 branded flamethrowers to make a joke about flamethrowers, and also founded Boring Co. to make a joke (???) about tunnels" he made money on the flamethrowers and the boring company is not a joke.

Elon doesn't think like most normal people, so while he has crazy ideas he is completely serious about them.
