Spot on...the first thing I thought was 'really...he started listening to his lawyers?'.

  He was set to be deposed this week. I'm guessing his advisors finally got through to him that he's fucked and dragging out the trial will only further publicly humiliate himself and potentially open him to even more consequences. Musk finally has to face reality, for once.

    Yup, take a $44b tesla share price and/or reputation hit, or pay $44b and at least have an asset to show for it. Actually, scratch the reputation bit. That's already toast. Kudos to Twitter. Checkmate.

      More like kudos to Musk's lawyers for creating several months' worth of billable hours out of trying to poke holes in a "I agree to buy it sight unseen, no refunds" contract.

  Yeah, isn't this effectively a complete win for Twitter concerning the lawsuits? If you're Musk or an apologist, how do you spin this in a way that doesn't say "Yeah, they were completely right and I had no basis for my claim"?

    Probably something like "I no longer have time to fool around with trivial things like Twitter. Ignore it ever happened, since I'm now using my vast intellect teaching world leaders how to end their wars".

      He's already ruled out shoehorning in Dogecoin due to scalability concerns, so there is nothing else left apart from more shitposting.
