Republican Elon Musk has terminated his Twitter deal. What did Elon gain from this charade? Nothing. His Tesla stock plummeted, he lost every liberal customer, and he embarrassed himself on the global stage. Another MAGA conman who failed to deliver on his promise. Good riddance!

Due to Twitter’s failure to offer sufficient information regarding the number of phony accounts. Using its network, Musk claimed he was ending the largest buyout in recent memory. In April, Twitter and Musk agreed that each side would be required to pay a $1 billion fine if they decided to back out of the contract. Twitter might have pushed for the break-up fee after the CEO of SpaceX withdrew, but instead, it is getting ready for a fight to finish the deal.
