Oh Elon – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on February 15, 2023, 9:19 am

Remember last year when Elon Musk was going around pretending that Twitter Inc. was doing a whole assortment of fraud, hoping that some of it would stick so that he could get out of his deal to buy Twitter? That was annoying. It did not go well, for him, and he eventually dropped it and […]

Elon Musk Is Busy With Twitter – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on October 31, 2022, 5:29 pm

The basic problem with Musk’s efforts to walk away from his deal to buy Twitter — beyond the transparent nonsense of his actual arguments — was that if he could walk away from this deal then no merger agreement would be binding; every buyer could change their mind and go to court and say “meh, contracts, they don’t matter.” […]

Oh Elon – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on October 13, 2022, 7:42 am

Well, look, it is a weird feature of US securities law that shareholders regularly sue companies for misleading them, and those companies regularly settle those lawsuits, and the companies pay money to the shareholders, but the money comes from the shareholders.

Elon Musk Has Three Weeks to Change His Mind – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on October 11, 2022, 8:24 am

The deep point of the stay in this case is to make the litigators go away. They have been punching each other in the face for months, because that is their job and because they enjoy it, but now they have to stop, so the deal lawyers can come back and actually close the deal. If […]

Elon’s Back – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on October 5, 2022, 9:50 am

Why? Why would you spend this much time and money trying to get out of the deal, and be this annoying about it, and then just unconditionally surrender two weeks before trial? One possibility is that it became increasingly obvious to Musk that he was going to lose the trial, and that didn’t seem fun, so he […]
