Kaltbaum Capital Management Gary Kaltbaum said 'the party is over' following Elon Musk's decision to terminate Twitter deal on 'Fox Business Tonight.'

Twitter shares tumbled Monday following news that billionaire Elon Musk planned to walk away from his deal to purchase the company for $44 billion.

Musk's attorney informed Twitter last week that the Tesla CEO was terminating the deal to purchase the social media giant. Musk alleges that Twitter appears to have "made false and misleading representations" regarding the platform, particularly how it handles spam accounts.

"For nearly two months, Mr. Musk has sought the data and information necessary to ‘make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter’s platform,'" Musk's lawyer wrote Friday.

"This information is fundamental to Twitter’s business and financial performance and is necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement because it is needed to ensure Twitter’s satisfaction of the conditions to closing, to facilitate Mr. Musk’s financing and financial planning for the transaction, and to engage in transition planning for the business," he added.

"Twitter has 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 to comply while giving Mr. Musk incomplete or unusable information," the lawyer continued.

In a series of tweets on Monday, Musk suggested Twitter will be forced to hand over the relevant information during court proceedings.

      This has nothing to do with Trump.  When Facebook is making $10M/year from Apple as an advertiser to market to a 100M user platform..... Twitter wanted in on that kind of money.  But they only had 40-50M users, so they created fake account...See more

    "Twitter shares tumble after Elon Musk ends $44B deal" --- Gonna tumble a lot more when it turns out that Twitter falsified its SEC filings to artificially inflate the value of the company in order to swindle investors and advertisers.

    It's over for Twitter. A lawsuit will trigger discovery, which will most likely result in shareholders suing Twitter, the SEC filing charges against Twitter and the entire board being forced out.

    if tweeter proceeds with a lawsuit,  they will have to open books.
  • There is a reason they refuse to open books to Mask. 
  • Tweeter just became vulnerable to FCC investigation and stockholders lawsuit.

    Twitter should be afraid of its shareholders more than Musk.  They will sue them into oblivion for not cooperating with the takeover.

    A "free" service paid for by advertisers.

We Bring You Brief Series of Sanctions Against Uganda Government Officials.

📸: Gen Abel Kandiho. On 9-December-2021, USA slapped sanctions against the then CMI Commander Gen Abel Kandiho. 📸: Gen Kale Kayihura. On 9-December-2022, UK slapped sanctions against former Police Boss Gen Kale Kayihura. 📸: Commissioner General of Prisons, Johnson Byabashaija. Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda.
