Twitter’s board threatens a lawsuit after Musk withdraws from the purchase agreement.
This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Chainalysis, FTX US and Ava Labs.
After months of dithering, Elon Musk announced last Friday he would officially be pulling out of his deal to acquire Twitter for $44 billion. He cited as his reason a lack of transparency or clarity around the true number of bot accounts. In this episode, NLW describes what different commentators think is really going on. He also vibe-checks both crypto and TradFi as we head into what will likely be a big week in markets.
