plans to assume us to compel him to make good on the $44000000000.00 deal. ah, does the world's richest person have buyer's remorse. ellen musk decision to pull the plug on buying. twitter adds yet another twist to a saga that has gripped wall street. it's wanted to. busy crazy as business stories ever, and i think it started off as a circus show and attending as a circus. sure. the story started back in march when musk announced his intention to buy twitter and loosen it's free speech rules. the 2 sides reached an agreement in april with musk using his tesla shares to fund the take over as will of course, weeks later, he announced the deal was suspended. citing concern over the number of bots and fake accounts on the platform. twitter insists that less than 5 percent of its accounts are span,
12:03 pm
but must believes that number could be as high as 20 percent. musk also says twitter failed to provide enough information for the deal to go through. the company has vowed to pursue legal redress. the now failed beard has dented masks, image as a tech titan and dash twitters hopes of transforming its shaky finances. let's get more from d. w reporter joel dall roy who has been following the story, and joins me now in the studio jolla. walk us through how this whole saga unfolded . it has been a saga from start to finish has been irrational. it's, it's been unpredictable for and who is 1st a tweeter that he was going to take over the company. well, twitter 1st resisted that, the board actually pushed back and said they didn't want him to be on the border as a shareholder valet to reverse those policies and then welcomed him in and welcomed his bid. presumably because he was offering to pay around 40 percent more for his shares and they were worth at the time. well, since then,
12:04 pm
the deal has really unraveled. in the mean time mosques tweets have been irrational, have gone from positive to negative. to bizarre. he speculated about what other companies he might purchase, but interestingly, he did not tweet this latest news. this actually came from his lawyers. now must claim said he was misled. any merit to that argument? will legal experts say that he will struggle to make the argument? because twitter actually does publicly say that around 5 percent of its uses are spam accounts, or phase accounts now must claim to that number is actually far higher and that he was misled by twitter and that it failed to provide him with full information in there for the deal can be canceled. well twitter is pushing back, it is saying that it will pursue this legally. it still says it wants him as a, as its main shareholder, which you might the question why, but perhaps they want is money more than they want is presence around. they may also try and pursue a $1000000000.00 settlement for terminating the deal early. now,
12:05 pm
there was some speculation that marks must, might actually be trying to drive the share price down here with this maneuver to try and purchase the company more cheaply, or that he might be trying to distract from problems at his other company. tesla, which is suffering supply chain issues, it recently announced that he's going to hold production at its factory here in germany. and he's also facing some kind of a professional and personal scrutiny over reports that he has had a child with an employee. so mosque has a lot of other issues going on right now as well. so let's take a step back and do it of a full 360 view on this is any of this good news for either twitter or to users or both? well that's not good use for twitter shareholders. there is some speculation that the share price might fall by as much as 30 percent when stock trading begins again on monday. there are some twitter users, however, who may be a very relieved about this. because musk has a very absolute view on freedom of speech. and he had said that he wanted to change
12:06 pm
twitter policies about what kind of tweets are allowed and reduce content moderation and for some uses. they fear that this may lead to twitter, turning into some kind of cesspool for extremism and, and a wild conspiracy theories also, let's not forget that musket said he would welcome back. donald trump as a user to the platform, trump has been banned since january 2021. and there were fears that that's a mosque would basically allow twitter to be used as a platform for trumps reelection. but this entire saga is certainly not over yet. it is now going to the lawyers and i've dare say we have not heard the end of it yet. i had is spinning and multi layered story d w.
