Twitter got scammed by ponzi
Every move he makes just discredits him and shows he is not reliable.

When Twitter reaches $18, Musk will say goodbye to Twitter. Twitter is 100% fake
I think it's pretty obvious at this point Elon Musk never intended to buy Twitter......
Musk is a great american exposing thr fraudulent democrat contrilled twitter.
Twitter is democrat controlled?  is that why Trump was constantly tweeting unimpeded until Jan 2020?
It took the world's greatest industrialist a mere 1 billion to fully expose the spineless lying cheating liberal hypocrites running big tech and social media. HILARIOUS! And, when they can't prove their numbers.. it won't even cost him a dime.. AND the lying little rats will likely do time. This is a win win for all freedom loving Americans!
dirty Commie Indians Parag and Vijaya Gadde have nationalistic supporters who are quick to give thumbs down.
 maybe, maybe not.
he is angling to get twitter at a cheaper price. and if that doesn't work, he'll use any excuse to back out of the deal.
I thought he LIKED robots
Well said! LOL hard!
Well said! LOL hard!
haha u bot 🤣
He is just (extortionate?) trying to buy cheaper.
he is still committed to buy for 54 dollars per share. govt playing politics with deal.
Musk is exposing Twitter as an arm of the democrat corrupt party.
 is that why Trump was constantly tweeting unimpeded until Jan 2020?
Just another con for elon
I really don't know why anyone pays to that rat.. He's just pumping and dumping, ashe did with doge and btc.
There are plenty or conservatives on Twitter.  Don't be fooled into thinking crazy lying conspiracy wing nut jobs are conservatives.
There are more conservatives on Twitter than there are anyone on Truthiness Social.
You guys are definite not IT literate, you do not understand the challenge in spoofing these fake accounts. Why do you throw politics every time on the table??? We are talking on bots that have every sort of malicious intentions
Another pump and dump scheme from Enron Muskrat
wrong answer... bzzzzzz
He is Just playing
just pay that 1.1b penalty its better than 44.
I could personally buy twitter IF they could show that. Unlikely
Oh! I'm shocked.
tough
Why don't you admit you don't have money to buy? You already pledged tesla stocks. If you sell your stocks, not good for Tesla now.  I don't really see this deal happening.
i like it
this guy is a con master.
Twitter is the communist master and those that side with it are clearly communist.
