Elon Musk ends $44bn bid to buy Twitter
4.完整新聞內文:
Elon Musk is ending his $44bn (ꌳ6bn) bid to buy Twitter, alleging multiple br
eaches of the merger agreement.
The announcement is the latest twist in a long-running saga after the world's
richest person decided to buy Twitter in April.
Mr Musk said he had backed out because Twitter failed to provide sufficient in
formation on the number of spam and fake accounts.
Twitter says it plans to pursue legal action to enforce the agreement.
Mr Musk faces a $1bn (ꌸ30m) break-up fee and possible lawsuit by opting out.
In May, he said the deal was "temporarily on hold" as he was awaiting data on
the number of fake and spam accounts on Twitter.
The billionaire businessman had asked for evidence to back the company's asser
tion that spam and bot accounts make up less than 5% of its total users.
In a letter filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Mr Musk's la
wyer said Twitter had failed or refused to provide this information.
"Sometimes Twitter has ignored Mr. Musk's requests, sometimes it has rejected
them for reasons that appear to be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed t
o comply while giving Mr. Musk incomplete or unusable information," the letter
reads.
Spam accounts are designed to spread information to large numbers of people an
d manipulate the way they interact with the platform. On Thursday, Twitter sai
d it removed around 1 million spam accounts each day.
Mr Musk believes that bots could account for 20% or more of Twitter users.
Elon Musk has for weeks been trying to get information about how many daily ac
tive users Twitter has.
Twitter has a problem with bots. In fact only yesterday it said it removed a m
illion spam accounts a day.
In a filing, Mr Musk said he'd repeatedly been refused information about the n
umber of bot accounts on Twitter - which is why he wished to terminate the dea
l.
Elon Musk though has already put pen to paper on this deal, and it is not tota
lly clear whether he can back out at this stage. Mr Musk will need to prove th
at Twitter breached their agreement.
There are other potential reasons why Mr Musk might want to pull out of the de
al.
The stock market price for large tech companies has fallen steeply in the last
few months - did Musk offer too much?
And then there was the impact the potential merger was having on Mr Musk's oth
er companies. Tesla's share price has fallen significantly since he announced
his interest in Twitter.
His position on free speech and how Twitter might moderate in the future - bas
ed on the laws of individual countries - also at times came across as na鴳e. D
id Elon Musk ultimately decide he had bitten off more than he could chew?

Twitter chairman Bret Taylor said the company would pursue legal action to ens
ure the merger went ahead.
"The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and te
rms agreed upon with Mr. Musk," Mr Taylor wrote in a tweet.
Shares in Twitter fell by 7% in extended trading after the announcement.
Mr Musk, said to be the world's richest person, is the founder of rocket compa
ny SpaceX and electric car company Tesla.
