'Chuckmate': Elon Musk responds to Twitter with two memes

As we told you on Friday, Twitter’s Chairman of the Board told Elon Musk that the company intends to enforce the agreement and use the courts to force Musk to buy the company:

“The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement. We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.”

And it appears that Musk responded in the form of a meme:

1. They said I couldn’t buy Twitter
2. Then they wouldn’t disclose bot info
3. Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court
4. Now they have to disclose bot info in court

LOL! “Judge, would like to submit the following meme for the record”:

At the very least, the trial will be entertaining:

We might as well assign this an Exhibit number now. https://t.co/mjLUTHBNos

And people are pointing out to him that disclosure works both ways:

Christ alive, surely he's not quite this stupid.

They said he couldn't buy Twitter – he's trying not to buy Twitter. They disclosed everything they reasonably needed to.

Court disclosure cuts both ways. https://t.co/9c0TdZHYTm
