He’d have been much smarter to just pay the billion dollar backout fee.
But ego & middle aged crisis compromised judgment.
If he was even smarter he should have bought Line instead (at a probably lower cost than Twitter) to fulfil his superapp dreams.
Like you said, he did it for the meme.
That billion dollar fee wasn’t set, though… that was if he couldn’t secure funding and could prove he rigorously tried to.
There was no cap on the liability for breaking the contract if he COULD secure the funding or it could be shown he could secure it, up to and including the sale price itself. His option had twitter pushed it was “pay twitter the full sales price and not own the company” or “pay twitter the full sales price and own the company.” Now, mind, twitter would have probably put the “backout” in a negotiated settlement at $10 - $15 billion, and not pushed for the whole thing, but once he got the funding, he couldn’t back out for just a billion.
Easily arranged.
I was really looking for dates I could plug into gocomics.
Dude can’t even grow a decent porn ‘stache.
He’s completely desperate for money.
He’s a terrible father. Directing and supporting hate towards his own daughter. Who he should love and protect.
He should be fixed.
Can we play with him first?
I like the upper cut of your jib!!!
Idk, I’d be like fuck you asshole!
