Opinion: What Twitter needs is leadership


Musk is trying to negate the entire deal by claiming that Twitter misled him. In particular, he has needled the company on their spam and fake accounts claims. — AP

Elon Musk wants out of the US$44bil (RM196.11bil) deal he struck with Twitter, or so it seems. The easy and possibly less expensive option would be to pay the US$1bil (RM4.46bil) exit fee written into the contract. Instead, he’s letting Twitter take him to court. Pay close attention to what happens in the coming weeks because this is undoubtedly not the end of the story between Musk and Twitter.

Musk’s behaviour seems erratic, but at this juncture, he probably wants to exercise the option of time. He wants to stall.
