Elon Musk says Donald Trump ‘should hang up his hat and sail into the sunset’

In an exclusive interview before Saturday’s rally, Trump shared his view on Musk’s Twitter buyout for Breitbart News:

“I know a lot of fake Twitter accounts because I read like everyone else,” Trump said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Friday night. “I know they have a lot of fake accounts like bots and everything else they have. I thought the price was exorbitant; The price he paid for that was too high.”

Trump also rightly stated that Musk “previously said” that he would not buy Twitter. Trump’s interview came hours after Musk canceled a bid to buy Twitter through an official filing, citing concerns about the number of fake bot accounts on the platform. But the Twitter head responded by saying that the company intends to try to implement the deal with Musk to buy the company, and Trump expects “a large number of lawsuits.”

“I called early and I said, ‘This deal is never going to go on,'” Trump said. I don’t know. But it was a solid contract and he bailed out a billion dollars, so I see it leading to a lot of lawsuits.”

When asked about his problems with the Trump presidency on Twitter, Musk described the former president as “the bull in the china shop” and said he thinks the maximum age to start a presidency should be “69”. One of Musk’s favorite tricks, including 420.

Yes, but too much drama. Do we really want an elephant in a china shop every day!?

I also believe that the legal maximum age for the presidential term to begin should be 69.

Twitter plans to sue Musk over his decision to withdraw from the deal earlier this week, according to sources familiar with the situation. Twitter’s decision to acquire law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LLP seems calculated because the move gives them access to attorneys, including William Savitt and Leo Stryn, who serve as the Delaware Chancery Chancellor to hear the case. to listen.

Musk reportedly hired Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP as his legal representative on the matter. The company previously filed a successful defamation lawsuit in 2019 and represented Musk in an ongoing shareholder lawsuit in 2018 for not privatizing Tesla.
