MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
WELL ELON MUSK, PUT HIS BID TO
TAKE OVER TWITTER ON HOLD
UNTIL TWITTER COMES CLEAN ON
FAKE ACCOUNTS, THE BILLIONAIRE
TWEETED 20% FAKE ACCOUNTS
WHILE FOUR TIMES WHAT TWITTER
CLAIMS COULD BE MUCH HIGHER MY
OFFER BASED ON TWITTER SEC
FILINGS BEING ACCURATE
YESTERDAY TWITTER CEO PUBLICLY
REFUSED TO SHOW PROOF LESS
THAN 5% THIS, DEAL CANNOT MOVE
FORWARD UNTIL HE DOES
YESTERDAY MUSK RESPONDED TO
TWITTER CEO SAYING HE COULD
NOT CONFIRM WHICH ACCOUNTS ARE
SPAM, RYAN THIS IS THE ASH
THAT DEVIN NUNES BROUGHT UP,
FIRST AND FOREMOST ON THIS
PROGRAM, SO MANY ACCOUNTS ARE
ACTUALLY ROBOTS ELON MUSK SAYS
HE CAN MAKE DEAL FOR LESS IS
THIS ELON’S WAY GETTING THE
PRICE DOWN?
OR DO YOU THINK HE REALLY
BELIEVES THAT MORE THAN 20% OF
THE ACCOUNTS ON TWITTER ARE
ACTUAL SAFE.
>> THIS IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
NEGOTIATING PLOY SOMETHING
THAT INTANGIBLY CAN’T FIGURE
OUT CAN’T DISCLOSE THAT I LOVE
THE FACT HIS GREATEST
NEGOTIATING PLOY YOU HAVE GOT
THE
POOPER EMOJI I LOVE THAT.
>> A I DON’T KNOW THAT YOU
CAN’T FIGURE IT OUT LOOK I
DON’T THINK IT IS IMPOSSIBLE
TO FIGURE THIS OUT TWITTER
SHOULD KNOW HOW MANY ACCOUNTS
ARE FAKE ELON MUSK SAID ONE
POINT COULD BE 90% JUST DON’T
KNOW BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT
GIVING US ACCURATE
INFORMATION, I MEAN, DEVIN
NUNES SAID THAT IT IS A LOT
MORE THAN 5%.
.
>> PROBABLY IS MARIA BUT
BOTTOM LINE MARKETS REPRISED
LAST COUPLE WEEKS TECHNOLOGY
STOCKS HAMMERED ELON KNOWS A
BETTER DEAL THAT WAS
LANGUISHING IN 30s BEFORE HIS
BID BUYING COMING IN DISCOUNT
TO 44 BILLION YOU OFFERED, YOU
ARE RIGHT SOMEWHERE IN THERE
CLEARLY NEGOTIATING PLOY, AND
ALWAYS USE EMOJIS
NEGOTIATINGING TO GET THE
PRICE DOWN.
>> THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY HE
COMES BACK WITH -- THE EMOJI,
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION HE GETS
DEAL MUCH LOWER IN 20 PLUS
BILLIONAIRE RANGE OPPOSED TO
44 BILLION LIKELY A LOT MORE
BIRDS NOT JUST ELON MUSK
TRYING TO ACQUIRE TWITTER.
GREAT POINT I SAY SEEMS AS
ELON MUSK STARTED TALKING
ABOUT THIS DON’T TELL ME THIS
HAS BEEN A PUBLICITY PLOY IS
HE SERIOUS?
ABOUT BUYING TWITTER?
BECAUSE ISN’T IT SOMETHING HE
WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT, PRETTY
EARLY ON IN IF THINKING ABOUT
APPLYING THE COMPANY?
>> CERTAINLY, SPAM ACCOUNTS,
BOTS PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS
PRETTY MUCH SINCE TWITTER
STARTED, A LITTLE PUZZLED WHY
JUST LOOKING AT IT NOW.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WOULD
LOOK AT THAT BEFORE YOU KNOW
OFFERING UP 44 BILLION.
SO, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS -- IT IS
NEGOTIATING TACTIC BUT WHAT IS
INTERESTING TO SEE ELON MUSK
SAID HE WANTED TO BUY THE
COMPANY PARTLY TO PRESERVE
FREE SPEECH, I WONDER IS THE
NUMBER OF USERS ON TWITTER
THAT MUCH OF A CONSIDERATION
FOR HIM?
>> WE WILL SEE, I MEAN AT A
MINIMUM HE IS EXPOSING TWITTER
AND EXPOSING SOMETHING THAT IS
VERY IMPORTANT THIS IS WHAT
ADVERTISERS PAY FOR THE NUMBER
OF ACTIVE USERS IF IF YOU ARE
OF ACTIVE USERS ISN’T ANYWHERE
CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
MUCH MORE THAN 5%, THIS IS
