Still committed to acquisitionIt wasn't clear whether the issue could scuttle the deal. Shares of both Twitter and Tesla swung sharply in opposite directions, with Twitter's stock tumbling 17% to $37.20 before trading opened in the U.S, and Tesla, which Musk had proposed using to help fund the Twitter deal, jumping 5%. Twitter's stock price is now well below the $54.20 per share that Musk agreed to pay for the company.
Calling Musk's tweet"bizarre," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said,"The implications of this tweet will send this Twitter circus show into a Friday the 13th horror show as now the Street will view this deal as 1) likely falling apart, 2) Musk negotiating for a lower deal price, or 3) Musk simply walking away from the deal with a $1 billion breakup fee." for its first-quarter results.
Twitter added that it was possible that"the actual number of false or spam accounts could be higher than we have estimated."
