LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that he knew Elon Musk would not actually acquire Twitter, despite the hype.
“I knew that Twitter had a lot of the fake accounts because I read, like everyone else does,” Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Friday night. “I knew they had a lot of the fake accounts like the bots and everything else that they had. I thought that the price was exorbitant; the price he was paying for it was exorbitant.”
Trump pointed out correctly, too, that he “called it early” that Musk would not end up buying Twitter. Trump’s interview came just hours after Musk, through a formal filing, moved to void his bid to buy Twitter, citing concerns with the volume of fake bot accounts on the platform. Twitter’s chairman, however, fired back, saying the company intends to attempt to enforce the agreement with Musk to buy the company, something Trump said he expects “a lot of litigation” over.
“I called it early and said, ‘That deal is never going to happen,’” Trump said. “We’re going to have to see what happens because they’re going to be saying, ‘You owe us $44 billion’ because I hear they have a very tight contract. It’s supposed to be ‘iron-clad,’ but I don’t know how you define ‘iron-clad.’ But it’s an ‘iron-clad’ contract, and he put up a billion-dollar deposit, so I see that ending up in a lot of litigation.”
All of this bodes well, Trump said, for his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump’s platform, which he noted this reporter joined recently, is something he said is “very successful” so far and is on the verge of eclipsing the five million user mark.

Indeed he did. He called it out and told Elon Musk to investigate the number of Fake accounts/Bots within Twitters numbers.
Those numbers are what Twitter has refused to provide to Musk.
Not sure if Musk would appreciate President Trump inserting himself as “all knowing”. Despite the fact that Trump likely considered it from the first announcement about twitter.
Pretty impressive, especially since its only in America and only has an app for the iPhone.
I will doubt very much if that would bother Musk in any way.
If Musk does acquire Twitter, which is still possible, Trump will be eating crow.
“I called it early”

That’s the same thing the Soros voting machine company and the networks said about Nov. 3, 2020.
Possible? Yes.
Likely? NOPE.
If the acquisition goes through it will be on much more favorable terms.
He said THAT deal will never happen. If a different deal happens no crow is eaten.
If Musk does acquire Twitter it will be at a much lower price.
The Art of the Deal.
What is going to be really fun is discovering how a company that has massive costs and zero profits manages to stay in business.
Could it be a US feral government/CIA subsidy to control global information?
That was a rhetorical question, because that's exactly what they are; a government psyop.
“Trump will be eating crow”
Will Musk have to eat crow too? Poor guys.. set up. They should have checked with.. someone. Maybe someone who has about zero percent of Trump’s political skills and Musk’s business savvy.
Yes, it will almost certainly be at a much lower price.
“That was a rhetorical question, because that’s exactly what they are; a government psyop”.
For sure. As was/is the “Mockingbird” operation.
Probably the idea in the first place. Suppose Twitter stock valuation drops 50%? Musk could by controlling share for much less than 20 billion or so. Or could by it outright for 25 bill or so. He did the right thing by buying on “contingency”. If they didn’t fulfill contingency requirements(full disclosure of assets)...he has a good case.
That’s what goes on all the time in real estate deals.
Sorry, but a blind squirrel could have called it. Now we wait to see which court will take the lead in allowing Twitter to sue Musk and win.
Still could happen if Twitter readjusts price based in real account numbers.
You’re kind if a pathetic sad sack.
“He said THAT deal will never happen. If a different deal happens no crow is eaten.”
Exactly.
Twatter is a fraud 🤪
Paid for with our tax dollars.
