0:00 [Music] elon musk has called off the deal with twitter oh no no what happened to free speech he was our only hope i know guess i gotta go back to parlor i'm on truth social send me the truth wait is that the trump one yeah i send my truth what's your what was the truth you sent today no i don't know what the ████ dude is that even out yet i think it is not what's truth social like it's just where a bunch of conservatives are all there sharing the same information yeah they're just all jacking off over was it was it was it trump that started that one yeah he made his own right yeah yeah okay he's the top user yeah he's the only one using it he's the power user private twitter private

0:50 it's their little form yeah so so why did this deal get called off uh there's a lot of uh guess work going on right now but he called it off according to a filing on friday with the sec right so the u.s securities exchange commission there was a letter to twitter's chief legal officer um that says twitter has not complied with its contractual obligations which is going to be musk's angle for nearly two months the company's failed to provide much with the information about fake or spam accounts which is his big case like he's saying he thinks that like three out of every 10 users are bots wow so they fluff up the user base to be like yo look this is why we should be evaluated we look at all the users and then he's like i want a ████ good deal so clean up the bots and then i'll buy it and musk is saying like hey i think the we should be valuing this way less what i'm offering

1:41 because it's billions right yeah like 44 billion or something it should be 2 billion the news sent twitter stuck tumbling 5 and after i was trading um the stock has obviously fallen for a while now like most stocks have anyway so people like to ████ on me about luna but everything ████ fell so ████ you uh everything's dripping ████ yeah ████ you actually uh but also uh yeah it makes me sad too uh no but there's also no recovery for us yeah there's no no it's over for us so but um but hey at least i have this gold watch um it's mostly plastic but there's some gold i think on the dial if you know i think it's like i think there's like 30 dollars of gold in there so 30 whole dollars damn that's one of my lunas me too me too and ████ you me too

2:31 um so the yeah the um twitter clothes at 70 cents uh a share like recently uh like on the day of the announcement he's going to buy it but then like today it closed at 36 dollars so it's really taking a tumble and the crazy thing was when he was offering 44 billion or whatever when the price was 51 or whatever um anybody who had owned twitter a single share i think if that deal went through would have got like like 15 a share yeah in profit pretty sick so that's why it became one of those things where it's like if the twitter board were to refuse elon's deal even though he was praying paying a premium over the price it's like they would be uh in essence denying their shareholders from a profit which is why they quote unquote shouldn't or couldn't have done that but

3:21 obviously ████ is complicated kind of a win-win for him though right because on the one hand if he if he wins this and they give him the numbers that back up his claim that they're fake users then the price drops and he gets a deal on it if he loses then he gets out of this crazy ████ expensive deal and everyone looks at him like oh wow you know you're standing up for x y and z yeah it's interesting because he wasn't even he wasn't even like the only person in the deal so he had a bunch of financiers as well oh you there were other people buying it with them yeah yeah oh so so cause initially it was gonna be him and then he got some people to jump on with him because was michael jordan one of them michael jordan was not one oh okay so but that's a sick guess yeah okay if you want to keep guessing why did you think michael jordan was one of them you have 14 more guesses michael jack because what about michael j fox no because michael jordan always does cool ████ he does cool ████

4:11 he's a sick ████ he's got his fingers on the pulse that guy yep uh was joe rogan one of them because he likes free speech without kevin hart no joe organ doesn't put his money where his mouth is oh that's true without the rock yeah the rock doesn't like joe rogan the rock likes to sell s█████ tequila yeah shots fired i also realized none of them were billionaires so they probably couldn't afford it yeah gwen is paltrow she's a billionaire goop could have bought it yeah maybe no but she actually likes suppressed speech so i think i don't think she would be if jay-z rihanna tiger woods together yeah they're all billionaires they are tiger woods the billionaire yeah you just hit it what do you do you play you play golfbidder it's more it's more his endorsements like the endorsements and stuff like that the tiger woods line most athletes and celebrities all make their money off products and other impacts oh dude presents the pga tour that was a sick

5:01 game yeah dude lebron lebron is also a billionaire but he's like still super active in league and that's amazing obviously tiger still plays but you get it well you think lavone is good at basketball because i think he's not even close to being the goat i think it's staff step all day well i love steph too so i'm i'm not going to talk did they give us a list of who's his financier team yeah no um but here's the thing right so a lot of people on the right were feeling like elon was going to save them because a lot of people on the right have felt banned by twitter however a lot of people on the left at least not the progressive left but the liberal left have felt like they have been made by twitter as well because they question a lot of narratives that they receive through corporatist america so they're saying like hey we get banned and then the right gets banned but then like the progressive left is

5:52 like twitter's tight that's what's weird to me is like people don't know that even within the democrats there's like they're all split up too yeah they don't all look look at bernie dude he literally got ripped off by the dnc it's a fact it's actually been admitted to in court it's crazy people don't even know that and they but then you know and no one's getting punished no when you bring up rigged elections everyone just does the sneering ████ but it's like no literally bernie got ripped off yeah and he would have probably been the best competitor against trump but then that during the hillary nah they snubbed them for hillary and he had to ████ but you know what though like for him like having to endorse her and playing that game that's when i was like man you just like one of them yeah yeah son of a ████ he lays down too quick you know that uh andrew uh uh yang he's doing his own party are you used to liking i used to love you you don't like his socialist ass

6:42 anymore uh no it's not about that it's it's about how he embraces media narratives like hardcore for some ████ reason but then he questions the unit party which i like but then he like hardcore embraces like uniparty narratives so i'm like it's weird huh it's weird yeah he i just can't get right with the guy can't make up his own ████ line well i i just can't tell what he's trying to say for like for what he thinks and what he's saying because he thinks it's okay to say is he playing the game like where's his yeah what's he thinking but he had jesse ventura on his podcast recently which is very interesting really andrew yang yeah what i got to see that jessie vitter is the dude i love jesse ventura dude i'm from minnesota i tell you what what's going on with all these different parties there's so much going on people really realize i ████ love that guy i wonder

7:32 if he's still on russia today what is that still a channel dude russia today had so many so he did you watch russia today no but it's rt but but they had larry ████ um what's his name larry um elder dave no no no the interview guy the ████ oh yeah yeah yeah larry king larry king they they're all just like larry king on ████ russia today they had jesse ventura had his own show like there was hell americans that were hired to do it because their narrative was your media isn't really that free we'll ████ give you guys a show and you can say whatever the ████ look at ukraine bro no no no nom chomsky just came out and said you can't even hear in america the united states where everyone's supposed to get free information you can't even hear the russian side of the story just their

8:24 side of the story who gives a ████ if you agree with it you can't even hear it because the media blacks it out yeah so noam chomsky who is like like frankly socialist of the year one of the godfathers of the progressive left he's saying he's sounding the alarm about that and everyone's going like you probably love russia bro so that's the problem right now it's like it doesn't matter what you say they will associate you with being like some enemy provocateur when you're not even doing that you're actually just asking questions yeah like dude i love julian assange this is what woke me up to the whole thing julian assange is my ████ hero he's a traitor he's a traitor he's a russian trader and so is snowden he's a russian trader they say that to this day if he tweets anything they're like where are you in russia right now you're in moscow are you sucking on putin's dick while you're ████ writing this thing and it's like what did he do he literally

9:15 told us the surveillance state is betraying us they're spying on you watching you your every move and that's weird and sus that's all he said yeah and people are going like oh my god like you're probably a russian stooge you're helping russia and all this ████ it's wild it is wild it is wild to say hey you know the nsa is actually listening to everybody illegally on their phones confirmed through many court cases and it goes is this american and everyone's like you ████ russian ████ get out of here it's wild dude is it is it illegal what they're doing isn't it yeah it's impatient actually isn't it the whole patriot acting that's a loophole for them that works that way well the patriarch is illegal it should be it's not constitutional in my opinion well not constitutional legal or different things in america well abortion is not constitutional thank god
