Elon Musk recently announced that the merger agreement that would have seen him buy out Twitter would be terminated. The main reason given was the purported false and misleading claims made by Twitter on the present status quo of its business operations.
The main bone of contention is the apparent number of bots on the Twitter platform which according to the company is less than five percent. The next step would be a court process whereby Twitter will try to enforce the agreement whereas Musk would be aiming for the judge to declare the agreement null and void due to the apparent non-compliance of Twitter.
The downside for Musk is that he may have to shell out a billion dollars as part of a termination agreement if and when the judge decides in the favour of Twitter.
According to industry analysts, the fact that Musk overpaid for Twitter may be part of the reason behind his decision to withdraw from the deal he made with Twitter.
Since making an offer to all the Twitter shareholders the average share price has yet to climb up to even meet the price per share Musk agreed as part of the negotiations. In fact since Musk made the announcement the share price has actually declined in value considerably.
The potential to overpay for such an entity could have a significant impact on the financial stability of Musk despite him being one of the richest men in the world.
Since being launched in 2006, Twitter has changed the domain of expression with its platform that allows its users to post text and visual based updates and commentary using a maximum of 280 characters.
