Elon Musk says his $44 billion Twitter deal is 'temporarily on hold.' The Tesla and SpaceX mogul said he needs to make sure the fake accounts 'do indeed represent less than 5%' of Twitter's users, as the company has estimated.

Sure…that’s why. Not the fact that he bought it at 50 something a share and it’s tanked since then. I expect more from NPR.

Shocker, was never gonna happen

I'm just embarrassed for the drivers of every tesla I see nowadays. Those poor shlups.

Wizo?

More like 35%

I'm sure there are billionaire problems & stupidity going on but is this also the time for us to all create fake accounts?

This dude bought a bag of air and trying to figure a way our of the mess. 20 bucks to St Jude is a better investment

'We believe him. 🤷‍♂️' -NPR

I'm I the only one that thinks this is a really low number I would think around 10-15%

How do you tell when a CEO is lying? When their lips are moving!(old) .When they are tweeting (new)

God save us

He should know how many there are since many are his.

He thinks not that many real people can hate him 😂

sounds like he's trying to back out without penalty to me

He lyin

Oh, hey, what a surprise. He got all the free press he really wanted so I guess he can keep his $$$.

Quick, everyone, register some fake accounts....

Elon trying to affect the stock price of Twitter

Are we getting cold feet?

They are in a rush to delete the bots LOL

How long does it take to generate a bot report?

'Less than 5%?' Hahahahaha!

Again, be more than a stenographer. It's not what Musk says, go deeper. The lede is Twitter stock is tanking due to massive recalls and he doesn't have the financing--he got way ahead of himself. Do better NPR, we need the very best in journalism these days.

He was never going to buy it people

As he slow-walks to the emergency exit… “No, really…I super duper still want it…”

Bullcrap

So Musk is admitting that he's an idiot that doesn't do any preliminary research before jumping right into something? Hmmm. Explains a lot actually.

Looks like an emergency exit. He is looking for an out. He got his publicity.

😂😂

Isn’t social media mostly “fake” accounts or at the bare minimum throwaway ?

Translation: he does not have the money after tesla stock dipped so he wants out but does not want to pay the $1B penalty

5%? ya right lol

No plan is to great

Big scam.

Convenient way for him to back out of the deal since he's been losing so much money lately.

What a joke. He's going to end up killing the deal over some ridiculous made-up issue so he can have the publicity, the right-wing love, and not spend a penny.

Coincidence that Teslas stock started to rise as news of this comes out?

Sounds like he's looking for a reason to back out. But 5% does sound low.

So this has nothing to do with Tesla stock value tanking ?

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesFrom your mouth to God's ears. Nice try. 1. Abortion is NOT healthcare. 2. This is a false claim designed to gin up fear. That's the problem. Abortion is not a form of contraception. It is on another level. Women only have an abortion AFTER getting pregnant. Contraception tries to prevent it. Abortion is used after contraception fails. But far too many women and couples default to it instead. IMO

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesAgreed 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Voters need to force more whistle blowers within the Government Sector. There are laws paying private company employees to be whistle blowers but contrarily Government employees can be prosecuted for being whistleblowers. It’s crazy, discriminatory and unethical as hades.
