Not at that level of business.
It isnt like taking a car for a test drive, Elon.

(26,868 posts)Why does that make Twitter execs look bad? They have a clause for specific performance and a $1 billion dollar break up fee.
Now Musk will have to pay
What else do you want?

(90 posts)They're in a deal to finance buying Twitter for about 2x what it's worth. Twitter will sue for breaking the NDA. Musk is probably closer to being right on the number of Twitter bots though. No way it's 5%
