What fantasy world does Elon Musk live in where not paying your rent or bills is OK? He's going to get his butt sued.

And good luck finding a new CEO for Twitter.

Maybe there is some socially redeeming value in Twitterdom?

Also saw an item about a resurfaced video from the Reich-wing idiot Fucker Carlson supporting this human trafficker.

This has been a truly crazy story to follow. Between this, the Santos fake resume, the J6 report and transcripts and Trump's taxes, the last few days have been a laugh a minute.

There's no question that Tesla was overpriced, but Musk did his very best to make sure it come down.

LONDON (AP) — Twitter has dropped out of a voluntary European Union agreement to combat online disinformation, a top EU official said Friday.

European Commissioner Thierry Breton tweeted that Twitter had pulled out of the EU’s disinformation “code of practice” that other major social media platforms have pledged to support. But he added that Twitter’s “obligation” remained, referring to the EU’s tough new digital rules taking effect in August.

“You can run but you can’t hide,” Breton said.

(Reuters) - Elon Musk has sued the elite law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to recover most of a $90 million fee it received from Twitter for defeating his bid to walk away from his $44 billion buyout of the social media company.

Here's George Conway's take on this lawsuit (his practice focused on litigation involving securities, mergers and acquisitions, contracts, and antitrust):

1. Nut-job billionaire enters into imprudent merger agreement with acquisition target.

2. Nut-job billionaire breaches imprudent merger agreement with acquisition target.

3. Target company is forced to launch bet-the-company litigation to enforce imprudent merger agreement breached by nut-job billionaire.

4. Nut-job billionaire is forced in bet-the-co litigation to carry out imprudent merger agreement he entered into and breached.

5. Target company’s outgoing board pays big fee to lawyers who won bet-the-co case nut-job billionaire forced it to bring.

6. Nut-job billionaire forced to absorb cost of legal fees paid to enforce imprudent merger agreement he breached.

Seems to me the moral of the story is, don’t be a nut-job billionaire who signs and breaches imprudent merger agreements.
