He could have done this with any number of pretenses that didn't require signing a binding legal agreement to buy Twitter.

Generally, this is far too complicated and involved to be any kind of effective scheme. He has professional managers and lawyers who could have easily come up with dozens of ways to sell tsla stock without this public legal morass.

The situation most likely is as it seems: He wanted to buy twitter for personal reasons and is in the process of doing so.



I concur with everything except this part...

*** He wanted to buy twitter for personal readons [reasons] and is in the process of doing so. ***

I suppose that he wanted to buy Twitter. Perhaps it was for personal and business reasons. I simply don't know.

Also, at this point it seems like he might have decided not to purchase Twitter.

Nonetheless, the following comment which you successfully refuted...

*** Am I the only one who thinks it's obvious he was pretending to buy Twitter to try cover his cashing out of massive amounts of tesla? ***

was ridiculous.


We don't need to call names, just present the arguments and let others judge.
