After Elon Musk Bails on Twitter Deal, the billionaire is roasted on the social network

Elon Musk got a flurry of free speech from the Twitterverse after he told Twitter he wanted to cancel his $44 billion deal to buy the company.

The right-wing power user, through a letter sent by his lawyers to the social network on Friday, officially claimed that he was canceling the pact concluded in April because Twitter "appears to have made false statements and misleading", including "dramatically". underestimating the proportion of spam and fake accounts. Why he apparently did not do due diligence on this matter before entering into an acquisition agreement is unclear; Wall Street analysts have suggested that Musk was actually looking for a lower price given the stock market's sharp decline since the start of the year. Twitter said on Friday it planned to go to court to force Musk to comply with the original terms of his offer.

Understandably, Twitter users had a field day with this latest development, happily posting memes, jokes and barbed criticism of Musk's about-face.

"BREAKING: Elon Musk has announced he's stepping down from his Twitter deal to spend more time with his ego," screenwriter Randi Mayem Singer ("Mrs. Doubtfire").

Many Twitter commenters played on the recent report he co-founded with an executive at Neuralink, a neurotech company. This brings the number of children he would have fathered to 10, including his second child with musician Grimes born in December 2021 a few months after the birth of the twins.

"Elon Musk is stepping down, for the very first time," Laura Bassett, editor of Jezebel (which gave Crooked Media's "Hysteria" podcast).

"Elon Musk looks at his child support bills, realizing he can't afford a social media site anymore," tweeted , writer for "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee".

Here are some of the best reactions to Musk's decision to end the Twitter takeover:
