Twitter and Dominion have both put themselves in a position to have to expose all of their business practices. It's hilarious!

[gabthechef]

This ‘expert’ is very wrong: the Board has an obligation to represent the shareholders (not the ‘company’) and in this case, the shareholders’ best interest is to force the sale at the price which is way above the market value.

How is it that a realtor can pull out of a deal with a potential buyer at the last minute, and you can force someone to buy something.

How about the contract stipulations? He offered to buy the company based on contract stipulations of providing data. They did not provide the platform data. Twitter did not fulfill the contract. The contract is null and void.

First they'd have to prove that the bots didn't exist at a higher number than they said. Which means Elon gets his answer.
If the number of bots are what they said (but refused to prove to Elon), all good. He'll buy it. If the number is higher, Elon had the right to pull out.
Should work to his advantage🤷🏻‍♂️

If you promise to buy a TV that the sales person said was digital & then before paying you find out it was black and white you should be able to back out of the sale.

The directors can't throw away Billions!! Henderson is absurd!!!

[sadev]

so mr law prof comes with his brilliant argument... you dont want to sell your house to someone who doesnt cut grass???? for the right price damn sure you do.
twitter is worth 33 dollar per stock. elon bid was 54. the boards duty lies withthe shareholders. so yes they have a duty to hold elon to it for that profit margin.
wether they can? i dont know. but this profs arguments proves he does not knnow

[williamandrews]

The painter analogy is ridiculous
The judge will apply the law to the facts of the case, regardless of her personal feelings about Elon.

[phillipmarlowe]

First they didn’t want him to buy it. Then limit his role. Now they want him to but it. Lmao

[mrj]

Elon Musk is a genius he's showing you how discombobulated Twitter is by just doing this.
There is no reason with this Twitter management.

[anitaitisanita]

Oh please Prof.Henderson "If you are selling your house, you want to sell to someone who will be taking care of it"?? A tear down often.

[Ibn_Abdulaziz]

Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,

فَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَاهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ ۚ بَلْ هِيَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
When harm touches man, he calls to Us (for help); then when We have (rescued him from that harm and) changed it into a favour from Us, he says: _"Only because of knowledge (that I possess) I obtained it."_ Nay, it is only a trial, but most of them know not!

قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
Verily, those before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not. [Az-Zumar 39:49-50]

كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ
Nay! Verily, man does transgress (in disbelief and evil deed).

أَن رَّآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
Because he considers himself self-sufficient. [Al-'Alaq 96:6-7]

أُولَـٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَالْعَذَابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ فَمَا أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ
Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are to the Fire. [Al-Baqarah 2:175]

إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [Al-Furqaan 25:70]

وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِن كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
And seek with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the Home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of lawful enjoyment in this world; and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupters). [Al-Qasas 28:77]

House painter analogy is just stupid. How about trying to force someone to manage your company and what next? Go to court because you don't like HOW he manages after you forced him into that position?

[aorg]

0:55 What a weird analogy about selling a house. Nobody cares what happens to the house they sold off.

[chocolatebunny]

Actually if the contract isn’t being fulfill 100% then the contract is null and void. You can’t force someone into a voided contract if you aren’t being compliant to your partner’s demands.

[morganvon]

Don't know where you found your expert. First of all, Elon Musk is on the hook for the purchase. How he set up the deal to finance it is irrelevant. Secondly, the board of directors are responsible to the shareholders, not the users of the website!

[Historyfreak-fo]

He could always buy it and close them down…..

[stillraven]

How can you force someone to buy a company when they signed an agreement with a blackout clause?
