I think all social media is a waste of time. My sisters and sister-in law think it's the best thing since sliced bread. We tell them NEVER put anything about us on there.

Do they listen? Ours don't and we have to keep telling them to take stuff down.

I’m sure I’ve made instagram once or twice picking my nose or sleeping on the couch with the cat in my lap Pretty harmless stuff the kids find funny. You can always google your name to see what comes up…hopefully you have all your clothes on

If it goes private, they get a check.

If you’re a minority shareholder, you get trampled by the herd. Check’s in the mail...this ain’t no democracy. The board voted for you.

Elon Musk ends $44bn bid to buy Twitter

Elon Musk is ending his $44bn (£36bn) bid to buy Twitter, alleging multiple breaches of the merger agreement.

The announcement brings to an end a long-running saga after the world's richest person decided to buy Twitter in April.

Mr Musk said he had backed out because Twitter failed to provide sufficient information on the number of spam and fake accounts.

He faces a $1bn (£830m) break-up fee and possible lawsuit by opting out.

In May, Musk said the deal was "temporarily on hold" as he was awaiting data on the number of fake and spam accounts on Twitter.

The billionaire businessman had asked for evidence to back the company's assertion that spam bot accounts make up less than 5% of its total users.

In a letter, Mr Musk's lawyer said Twitter had failed or refused to provide this information.

Shares in Twitter fell by 7% in extended trading after Mr Musk's announcement.

Lawsuit is highly probable,

Real question is whether he was just manipulating the stock driving it 20 points lower so that he could just buy control a lot cheaper. The SEC is going to watching this one for long time,

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. People have soured on this guy.

They love him in the Ukraine. He keeps their internet and other commutations open for them with his satellites.

Funny how the progressive liberals hate him . He’s to rich. Yet he makes environmentally friendly electric cars. I see my liberal friends on FB bashing all day long. Most of liberal friends have stopped talking to me all over Elon. They hated me saying. I believe we would be years behind in electric card if not for Musk. He laid the ground work for charging stations around the USA. I think they only hate him for one reason. He said. “ he would let trump back on twitter”
