"Musk VS Twitter" opens a new chapter?
Musk and Twitter's "Century Litigation" has undergone dramatic changes again.
Recently, a document showed that Musk proposed to continue to acquire Twitter for a price of $44 billion he originally proposed. Reuters reported that if an agreement is reached, Musk will take charge of Twitter and end the lawsuit that has lasted for several months.

It is reported that since Twitter has received support from shareholders for its sale to Musk, the transaction may be completed quickly in the coming weeks if the two parties reach an agreement on the initial terms.
As soon as Musk took action, Twitter's stock price also followed. After the news that Musk was willing to continue to acquire Twitter at the original offer leaked, Twitter's stock price soared by about 22%, setting a new closing high since November last year.
As of now, Twitter and Musk themselves have not made any official comments on the above news. But Musk tweeted on the 5th that the acquisition of Twitter is an accelerator for creating a universal application called "X".
Before this "century lawsuit" may come to an end, Musk and Twitter were almost back and forth for several months. After several reversals, both sides reached the point where they were about to go to court.
On April 25 this year, Musk reached a final agreement with the Twitter board of directors to acquire it at a price of $54.2 per share. At that time, Musk had an attitude of "doing a big fight" and claimed to further develop the potential of Twitter. At that time, his remarks that he claimed to lift the "twitter ban" of former US President Trump had caused considerable controversy.
However, the two sides broke up shortly after they signed a contract. On July 8, Musk said that he would terminate the acquisition of Twitter on the grounds that Twitter failed to deliver backend data about the "false account" as required. Twitter, who was deeply "spoken", called Musk "willful and changed his mind" and sued him.
Unexpectedly, as the trial date on October 17 is getting closer, something unexpected happens again. Therefore, some analysts believe that the reason for the 180-degree reversal of Musk's attitude is likely to be because several pretrial rulings have already predicted that he will lose the case.
proposes a "peace plan" angers Ukraine
does not play according to common sense, which is exactly Musk's usual style of conduct for many years.
, Musk, who had previously verbally said that he would provide Ukraine with "Starlink" satellite communication services, recently angered the Ukrainians because of four suggestions made on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on Twitter.
htmlOn the 14th, Musk expressed his views on mediating the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on Twitter. He suggested that in order to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine, the four places of Donetsk , Lugansk , Khlsson and Zaporoze should re-enter the referendum under the supervision of United Nations , and make Crimea officially part of Russia. In addition, Ukraine should remain neutral between NATO and Russia.

Musk also added: "These four suggestions are most likely to be the final outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but the problem is that before the result is reached, there will be many deaths and the possibility of nuclear war ."
At present, the "gunpowder smell" between Russia and Ukraine continues to spread. On the 4th, the Russian Federal Commission approved the treaty to accept Donetsk, Lugansk, Khlsson and Zaporoze into Russia. The United States will send another $625 million in military aid to Ukraine.
Against this background, Musk's remarks quickly aroused strong reaction between Russia and Ukraine.
Russia believes that Musk’s suggestions are remarkable. Russian State Duma MP Mikhail Sheremet said that Musk's suggestion is a sobering agent for Western society. Vice Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Conference Medvedev jokedly compared Musk to "Russia's secret agent."
But the Ukrainians are very angry. Ukrainian President Zelensky tweeted Musk on Twitter and launched a vote and asked, "Which Musk do you prefer?" As of 12 noon on the 5th, 78.8% of netizens chose "Musk who supports Ukraine". Former Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Melnik even swears: "Get out of here is my diplomatic reply to you." Although it has caused quite a stir, it has to admit that the timing of these two things Musk has done recently is really subtle...
