Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent a text message on May 8 to one of his bankers in Morgan Stanley that he was thinking of ditching his plans to buy Twitter due to the possibility of World War 3, as per a report by Ars Technica. Musk sent this message two weeks after committing to acquire Twitter for $44 billion.
“Let’s slow down just a few days. Putin’s speech tomorrow is really important. It won’t make sense to buy Twitter if we’re heading into World War III,” Musk wrote to Michael Grimes, Morgan Stanley’s head of global technology investment banking.
The next day, on May 9, Russian president Vladimir Putin defended the Ukraine invasion in a speech. he claimed that the Ukraine had been necessary because the West was “preparing for the invasion of our land, including Crimea,” as per the comments translated by Reuters. In the texts, Elon Musk has cited the coming speech from the Russian President, as per a report by Business Insider.
.The text was read out in a court hearing by Twitter lawyer Bill Savitt, according to many news reports. The full text chain may get reportedly filed on the court docket next week.
“While Twitter called the Musk text a “money quotation,” Musk lawyer Alex Spiro “said the characterization of the texts in court was “utter nonsense as the full text chain shows.” “, says the report.
Spiro also “responded by saying that any businessman would be anxious about the impact of a potential war on the stock market,” as per a report by The Wall Street Journal.
