and seventy one cents a substantial discount from the acquisition price of fifty four dollars and twenty cents per share musk the world's richest person decided to forego due diligence when he agreed to buy twitter on april 25th in an effort to get the san francisco-based firm to accept his best and last offer which might make it more difficult for him to establish the twitter misled him since musk agreed to buy twitter technology stocks have plummeted amid investor concerns about inflation and a probable economic downturn the difference between both the offer price and the value of twitter shares has increased in recent days meaning that the deal had less than a 50 percent chance of being completed as investors speculated that the slump might drive musk to walk away or seek a cheaper

followers to verify my team will conduct a random sample of 100 twitter followers musk tweeted urging others to replicate the procedure and see what they learn we can definitely crowdsource a good answer if we try to find out the bot duplicate user percentage as a group musk responded to a follower who wondered why he hadn't considered this before trying to acquire the firm by tweeting that he had relied upon the accuracy of twitter's public filings musk's contract with twitter allows him to request information about the company's activities after the agreement is signed however this is intended to assist him in preparing for his ownership of twitter not to conduct due diligence and resume discussions according to those familiar with the situation twitter has no imminent plans to take action against musk as a result of his comment according to sources the company considered the comment insulting and a violation of the terms of their deal contract but was pleased when musk later tweeted that he was dedicated to the acquisition musk visited twitter's office on may 6th for a meeting as part of the transaction planning process according to a twitter representative twitter ceo parag agrawal also stepped in stating while i expect the acquisition to close we need to be prepared for all situations aggro will declared leadership changes and a hiring freeze on thursday spam or bogus accounts are created with the intent of manipulating or artificially increasing activity on platforms such as twitter some people give the idea that something or someone is more popular than they are musk mentioned the bogus account data in a report from 10 days earlier twitter has stated that the figures are estimates and that the true number could be higher according to twitter's regulatory filings the estimated total of spam accounts on the microblogging site has remained below 5 since 2013 prompting some analysts to wonder why musk was trying to raised it now this five percent indicator has been out for some time he definitely must have seen it so it may well be more part of the plan to lower the price said an analyst musk's representatives did not respond to requests for comments reports say tesla's shares increased by 5 on friday since musk declared a stake in twitter on april 4th the shares have lost approximately a quarter of their value amid concerns that he may become preoccupied as tesla's ceo and that he may have to sell more tesla shares to fund the transaction there is more than enough precedent for a possible price renegotiation following a market slump when the pandemic broke out in 2020 causing a global economic shock several firms repriced agreed upon acquisitions for instance the french retailer lvmh threatened to pull out of an agreement with tiffany and company the jewelry retailer in the united states agreed to reduce the price by 425 million dollars to 15.8 billion dollars acquirers looking for a way out may invoke substantial adverse effect clauses in their merger agreement claiming that the target firm has been significantly harmed however the language in the twitter transaction agreement as in many previous mergers does not allow musk to walk away due to a deteriorating business climate like a decline in advertising demand or a drop in twitter's stock price musk is contractually forced to pay a 1 billion dollar breakup fee to twitter if the acquisition is not completed however the contract includes a particular performance language that a judge can invoke to compel musk to finish the transaction in general acquirers who lose a specific performance case are not really required to complete an acquisition and instead usually reach a monetary settlement with their targets musk has stated that if he purchases twitter he will destroy the spambots or die trying blaming the company's reliance on advertising for allowing spam bots to proliferate he has also criticized twitter's moderation policies and stated that he wants twitter's algorithm to prioritize public messages musk announced this week that he would lift twitter's restriction on former us when president donald trump purchases the social media site he is indicating his goal to reduce moderation trump who founded a competing social media program called truth social weighed in on friday there is no way elon musk is going to acquire twitter for such a ludicrous price especially after discovering it as a corporation mostly built on bots or spam accounts trump stated in a post adding the decide is far superior on the other hand two senior twitter executives who manage the consumer and revenue divisions will leave the social media company chief executive officer perag agrawal announced in a memo to employees on thursday in one of the most significant shake-ups at the company since billionaire elon musk revealed his 44 billion dollars purchase in the memo agarwal also stated that twitter would stop most hiring and analyze all existing job offers to decide whether any should be pulled back he blamed the decision in part on twitter's inability to meet user growth and revenue milestones in order to preserve confidence that it could meet aggressive growth ambitions set for 2020 we must be intentional about our teams hiring and costs agrawal wrote the company had planned to generate 7.5 billion in annual revenue and 315 million daily users by the end of 2023 but in its most recent earnings report it lowered those targets kavan baker who supervised twitter's consumer division and bruce falk who oversaw revenue both posted on thursday that the departures were not their choice perag requested me to depart after letting me know that he wanted to take the team in another path baker tweeted adding that he was still on twitter paternity leave i'll clarify that i too was sacked falc stated before deleting the tweet in the tweet thread falc praised his staff and changed his bio to unemployed we were able to accomplish the outcomes we did because of your work and effort quarterly revenue does not lie google it he explained jay sullivan who was in charge of the consumer division during baker's absence will become the division's permanent leader aggregal stated in the memo that he will also manage the revenue team until a new head is chosen while no layoffs are anticipated aggro stated that
