It is unclear whether he really wants to complete the deal, but Musk's tweet still shocked Twitter users.

You know, Musk is trapped in his lawsuit with Twitter, and the core of the lawsuit is that his acquisition of Twitter is "out".

In April this year, Musk reached an agreement with Twitter to acquire Twitter at a price of $ 54.20 per share, with a total value of $ 44 billion.

Unexpectedly, three months later, Musk suddenly stated that he wanted to withdraw from the transaction on the grounds that "Twitter concealed the real data about false accounts on the platform."

Twitter angrily brought Musk to court. It is reported that if there is a violation of the agreement between Twitter and Musk, one party will have the right to obtain a "breakup fee" of $ 1 billion in the breach of contract. Twitter accused Musk of "changing the law" to evade the acquisition agreement without punishment.

During Musk and Twitter, some fans urged Musk to "buy Manchester United instead of buying Twitter."

Manchester United is one of the most popular football clubs in the world. According to the Sky News Network, they made a record 20 times to become the top champion of England and won the Champions League three times.

However, in recent years, Manchester United's performance has continued to be sluggish. Especially after being acquired by the Graize family in 2005, fans have a strong momentum of anti -Graiz.

According to Reuters, as of Tuesday's stock market, the market value of the football club was 2.08 billion US dollars.
