Elon Has a New Bot Excuse – Matt Levine Column (bloomberg.com)

Musk has really done it this time. He is going to pay for Twitter way more than it's worth.

He has violated/broken several contracts with Twitter already. In the future every financial deal he wants to make will be more difficult to close and have harder conditions because he is untrustworthy to the extreme.

His financial advisors Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities and Barclays have every incentive to close the deal. They are not going to help Musk to walk out from this hole.


I think after all the drama, this is the likely outcome:

"One possibility is that Musk will keep sending nasty letters and tweets about bots, and the people — including the ones working for him — whose job it is to get the deal done will keep working to get the deal done, and one day Musk will be mid-sentence typing a nasty tweet about Twitter and find out that he owns it."
