社評 0711   馬斯克退出併購推特



馬斯克退出併購推特

世界首富特斯拉老闆馬斯克宣佈,他將退出併賺推特之計劃。


這項以四百四十億企圖入股推特之計劃曾經撼動美國媒體界, 馬斯克之律師在一封給推特之信中表示, 推特並未依約披露到底多少用戶之正確資料, 推特表示,他們只有百分之五的訂戶是視為廢客戶, 但是馬斯克懷疑數字之可靠性。


依據合約馬斯克可以把十億美元之訂金拿回來, 但是推特認為馬斯克對兼併並不真誠, 他們將採取法律行動進行對抗。 


推特董事會主席泰勒在聲明中表示, 他將依照董事會之決議來完成這項收購案, 目前推特之股價已經從每股五十四點二元降至每股三十六點八一元, 市值掉了三分之一。


馬斯克以四百四十億元收購推特之事, 是近年來媒體界最大之一筆交易 ,不但數字龎大 ,而且其影響力將是前所未見。


馬斯克以電動車造就他成為世界首富, 他還同時進入太空事業, 其影響力可謂從天上到地下。

今天的推特也是在近年來之社群媒體中创造了奇蹟, 政商各界更是爭先恐後利用推特表達意見, 其中也封了前總統川普之賬號, 阻止他發表激烈之言論。


老實說, 我們是生活在一個有錢能使鬼推磨之特殊時代, 這位首富舉手之間即可控制一大社群媒體平台, 更可依他的想法來改變媒體之立場和方向。



 
Musk Is Trying To Exit The Twitter Deal

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, said he is seeking to call off his proposed $44 billion deal to buy the Twitter social media platform.

His attorney contends that Twitter has not complied with its contractual obligation to provide an accurate assessment of how many fake user accounts are on its system. Twitter has claimed that only 5% of its users are spam.

A letter sent by Twitter lawyers said that Musk is officially seeking to walk away from the deal under the contractual terms so he can back out on his $1 billion deposit.  

Twitter Board Chairman Bret Taylor indicated that the company will indeed wage a legal battle against Musk forcing him to prove the company has breached the agreement. 

Twitter's market price dropped to $36.81 from $54.20 last Friday. 

This huge deal can only happen in America. It also proves that money can buy anything. As the richest man in the world, Musk can own one of the most powerful media platforms in the world. If he ever buys Twitter, he could change all the management personnel along with the entire culture of the media giant.
