11:13 am
after locking in the agreement. he accuses the company of failing to provide information about fake accounts on the platform, and whether they make up fewer than 5 percent of users. twitters board chair says it kept its end of the contract and is planning to sue. i think twitter probably would prevail in this. i would think simply because there are, there is a deal now he must, can get out by paying a $1000000000.00 fine or $1000000000.00 bits, but sorry, fine. a $1000000000.00 penalty. and my guess is that that's what he's trying to prevent is not having to make that 1000000000 dollar payment for many. the focus now turns to stocks and whether twitter and tesla will take a hit or the investors want to see must just get back to focus on passive space acts. because twitter from the beginning just really been a distraction that's been overhang of stock mosques bid to take over twitter stuart controversy back in april. critics, we're concerned the tesla, c, e. o would promote misinformation on the popular social media site,
