Repost: Elon Musk Backs Out on Buying Twitter, App to Sue

Elon Musk won't be buying Twitter after all. As reported by Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow, Musk is terminating his agreement to purchase the social media giant based on a new filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC].
Twitter was formally notified that the $44 billion deal, which would have taken the social media private amid a host of other changes, was being terminated on Friday. This follows months of speculation that Musk had gotten cold feet over the deal as he repeatedly complained about what he said was Twitter's refusal to disclose all of its data on spam bots.
Earlier this week, Musk's Twitter buyout was reported to be in "serious jeopardy" as negotiations dragged on. Now it has been canceled entirely.

In response to the deal's cancellation, Twitter is suing Musk. In a tweet shortly after the news, Twitter chairman Bret Taylor wrote, "The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement. We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery." Musk first offered to buy Twitter back on April, prompting the company's board of directors to adopt a "poison pill" plan to try and block the deal. Twitter subsequently reversed course and agreed to the $44 billion buyout, which Musk called his "best and final" offer.
In adding Twitter to holdings that also includes SpaceX and Tesla, Musk said that he would be rolling back moderation policies while unbanning controversial figured like former President Donald Trump. He also vowed to address what he called Twitter's persistent problem with spam bots and fake accounts.

After the deal was accepted, Musk continuously sparred with Twitter, claiming breach of contract over what he claimed was its unwillingness to divulge the true number of fake accounts on the platform. Twitter, for its part, moved steadily ahead with the deal, with the board unaminously recommending that shareholders vote in favor of the deal. It also began laying off employees in preparation for the completion of the merger.
Elon Musk has not yet responded to the deal termination.
The fallout from the deal is apt to be significant, though the consequences remain unclear for now. One way or another, Twitter will remain public.

After being the only Filipino artist chosen to perform at the GMA (Golden Melody Awards) in Taiwan last June 26, 2022, Paolo Sandejas has a new milestone on his music career.
The young Universal Records Philippines singer-songwriter can’t believe his eyes when Kim Tae-hyung aka V of world-renowned South Korean boyband BTS included his song “Sorry” on his DRIVE VLOG playlist, uploaded today (July 09, 2022) just in time for ARMY Day.
The video, which runs for almost one hour, is the first episode of the boyband’s vlog series for their BANGTAN TV YouTube channel. From the looks of it, V really knows the song by heart as he enthusiastically jams to Paolo’s original single while driving his car.
