Musk is the richest man in the world according to Forbes, although most of his wealth is Tesla stock, so his position is constantly changing based on the market value of the luxury electric vehicle company’s shares.

On August 6, Musk said the $44 billion deal to take over Twitter, which he broke in early July, could be closed if the company provided details on how it estimates the number of fake or “spam ” account.

The businessman emphasized that if, on the contrary, it is shown that the information offered by Twitter to the regulators is not true, the operation cannot be closed as agreed.

Musk notified in early July of his intention to cancel the purchase of the technology company, agreed between the two parties for 44,000 million, in which the latter responded to a lawsuit in a court specializing in commercial dispute to force him to complete the operation.

The argument of the person in charge of Tesla is that the social network did not give him the numbers on the false accounts that he needed, while Twitter assures that this is only an excuse to avoid the completion of the operation, which becomes more attractive due to the company’s downlisting and the loss of Musk’s assets as a result of the fall in the stock markets.
