Elon Musk is Destroying Tesla Stock with Twitter Hell.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
all right so this Elon Musk drama versus
Twitter is just getting out of hand and
it's getting very very complicated so
yesterday we had a ruling from a judge
that basically delayed the trial from
October 17th to sometime in November
that's because the judge realized hey
okay well it looks like you uh guys have
a deal that looks like it might commence
by Honor around October 28th you guys
will have your deal complete so if the
transaction doesn't happen to close by 5
PM on the 28th why don't you just email
me you know the judge here and uh we'll
set us a trial date for November 26 2022
so basically Elon Musk buying a month
you know he didn't go to his deposition
which would have probably been a pretty
ugly deposition unless he pulled a
Donald Trump you know I play the fifth
which generally is not the best thing to
do uh in in some cases although some
attorneys say no it is the best thing to
do so I'm not going to get into whether
or not that's what you should do or
shouldn't do this is going to turn
political really fast otherwise but
anyway what's interesting here is that
uh I yesterday I made a little bit of a
mistake so there's this debt financing
commitment letter that was originally
filed around April 21st on the SEC
website that shows that Elon musk's 13
billion dollars of debt financing
expires on October 20th which that was
actually really interesting in terms of
timing because the trial was set for
October 17th then got pushed to after
October 28th which that would be past
this financing commitment which would
enable basically the banks to say buy we
don't want to do this deal anymore
because we're going to lose hundreds of
millions of dollars on it and if Elon
can't get his debt financing he actually
has the right to walk away from this
transaction and uh and and pay a one
billion dollar termination fee so his
deal is contingent upon financing now
Bloomberg doesn't seem to think that's
the case Bloomberg is making the
argument that no uh he actually in the
original contract had no contingency for
financing and now all of a sudden he's
trying to weasel in this contingency for
financing and I'm like Bloomberg did
y'all read the cancellation rights
because they're literally right here
this is a I'm using my iPhone right now
because for some reason my iPad HDMI
port's not working but this is the
iPhone 14 actually works really well for
this this is the Clause here that says
the merger agreement provides that
Twitter and the parent blah blah blah
blah may cause Elon Musk basically to to
go hard in terms of his Equity financing
commitment uh but if for some reason the
debt and margin loan are not available
which are seen right here now elon's
already killed the idea of using margin
so that's gone but right here this debt
and margin loan financing if that is not
funded or not available as we see right
here then parent which is Elon Musk will
be required to pay Twitter a termination
fee of one billion now you can read the
legalese there I'm just kind of
summarizing that right now right so in
in summary looking at the termination
right it's like well it's right there
there's a contingency for debt and
margin loan so I don't know why
Bloomberg is making this argument that
oh he doesn't have a contingency for
financing and he's trying to weasel that
in that's not the case he's always had a
contingency for financing but financing
the original financing agreement had an
expiration date of October 20th however
it looks like there's a new financing
agreement that actually included a
six-month extension all the way to April
25th so this complicates things a little
bit because is Elon actually going to be
able to delay this trial to April to get
that debt financing to expire it's
possible but it would take a lot of
effort so this is not as cut and dry as
we thought it was yesterday because that
debt financing is actually still going
to be around for another six months now
what is interesting though and this is a
very complicated section to read and and
I'm not an attorney so I can't even tell
you if I've read it correctly but my
understanding here is and this is in the
debt financing commitment letter my
understanding here is that there is a
minimum Equity contribution required in
this deal and it is sent at 40 percent
now I think that's really interesting
because it makes me wonder okay well if
uh if if for example uh 13 billion
dollars of debt is to represent
UH 60 at Max uh of of the financing
which would mean the rest is 40 Equity
well then if we go to a calculator and
we say all right 13 billion dollars
represents no more than 60 percent debt
then the minimum valuation of Twitter
would have to actually be about
21.6 billion dollars and that's really
simple you just 13 billion dollars
divided by 0.6 and that would mean the
minimum Equity is the difference so
minimum equity in this case would be 8.6
right uh and the valuation would be 21
bill in that case well we know that the
deal is actually being done at 44
billion so that shouldn't be an issue
right maybe so some people are now
speculating that it's possible that the
banks could say thanks to this
particular Clause here the banks might
be able to say hey hey hey you know what
the fair market value not what you're
paying but right here the fair market
value of Twitter is actually a lot lower
than what you're paying therefore we're
going to kill the financing because we
don't think the minimum Equity is in
effect
now to some extent
people believe that this is a possible
out for Elon but it would be a really
bad probably bad look for the banks to
re-nag on their debt financing
commitments and they probably lose some
clout on Wall Street unless of course
Wall Street is convinced that Elon is
overpaying by that much and people are
like yeah no we don't blame you banks
for pulling out but then again you know
Elon and and well okay I'm not gonna
make a joke here never mind
so uh it's gonna be a pulling out joke
and you know Elon doesn't generally pull
out you know so it's kind of unique you
know we we gotta help population I mean
I told you it was gonna be a bad joke
so anyway uh what's what the other
option is is that uh Elon Musk
potentially then just kicks the can down
the road until April but that would take
a lot of gamesmanship which some people
are actually saying is potentially
exactly what's happening because now
there's talk that well if Elon Musk is
supposed to close his deal in the next
two weeks or three weeks here then he
should have been already talking to
Banks to to say like hey like get ready
to send your money like it doesn't just
happen overnight to send your money like
it's going to take some effort to send
the money over and rumors are from
people not authorized to talk on this so
this is sort of as reported by The Wall
Street Journal and Bloomberg and such
rumors are that Elon Musk has not yet
contacted any of the banks to tell them
like hey get the financing ready like
I'm serious about closing so this is
sort of raising the prospect that oh
Elon is just playing games here and now
he's going to do whatever he can to milk
the clock you know apparently he delayed
his deposition for fear because uh you
know somebody on his legal staff was
potentially exposed to coven and so it
makes you wonder like okay we kicked
this into November oh well now we've got
you know the Black Friday sales events
or whatever for Tesla or whatever you
want to argue or over the holidays it's
Thanksgiving oh now it's Christmas and
then you know what are we going to say
the January problem is oh no I'm saying
I don't know I mean maybe you can kick
the can down the road but I don't think
the judge is going to play with that and
let this go until April remember Elon
Musk and Twitter and uh yeah Tesla uh
well elon's legal team originally asked
for a court date in April problem
originally like way back in the day when
they were trying to cancel this deal
they asked for a court date in April
which kind of makes you wonder like oh
you guys were trying to get that
financing expire and the judge is like
no I'm gonna go for October you know it
kind of is all lining up they're trying
to milk the clock to April here and uh
you know other people are saying hey but
what about like if what if his other
Equity Partners don't come through and
could this create selling pressure on
Tesla well that Clause is actually right
here it's actually 9.9 B I think it is
yeah 9.9 B in uh in the termination
section here of the original agreement
and section 9.9 highlighted in the
yellow here basically says the company
can force Elon to come up with all the
equity that's required in this deal
which is somewhere around 31 billion
dollars so if Elon gets Equity partners
of 20 billion dollars great then Elon
has to bring up 20 billion dollars less
but if they all bail the company Twitter
can force Elon to come up with the full
31 billion dollars but the only
contingency he has is that 13 billion
dollars of debt financing that's that's
an actual contingency that he does have
so again you know why why Bloomberg and
I'll show you what they're saying too
and I just think it's ridiculous but why
Bloomberg is uh and then I want to talk
Tesla really quick because it's just
having another terrible day in a row
again it's it's just it's I feel like
I'm melting away here
but anyway
um Bloomberg Bloomberg had the following
to say which I posted on Twitter follow
me on Twitter if you don't yet uh but
they had the following to say here on
Twitter talks between Elon Musk and
Twitter to reach an agreement blah blah
blah blah uh the okay here the
billionaires lawyers say that musk was
willing to do 54-20 pending receipt of
proceeds of debt financing and then they
write the original deal didn't contain
such a contingency and I'm thinking to
myself like what's your agenda here
Bloomberg because like I don't know
about you and again maybe because I'm
not an attorney I'm just reading it
wrong or something like that but I'm
pretty sure the cancellation right for
Elon is pretty clearly outlined in the
original agreement up top here and you
know you can pause that and read it
yourself but I'm pretty sure that top
section there basically says uh that
margin loan financing and debt financing
has to be funded or available it says it
right there so I I I don't know but what
I do know is that Tesla stock is falling
and probably honestly a lot I think has
to do with the overhang well not only
the macro overhang that rates are going
to go even oh my gosh it's a 228 now are
you serious oh we're about to get some
retail capitulation holy crap dude look
at my Weeble okay this is disgusting you
can see my Weeble cost basis which is
not everything I have on Tesla but you
can see my Weeble cost spaces
oh I'm getting effed
oh it feels so good
uh anyway so uh no it it actually is
pretty miserable uh but that's okay
so uh you got to go through the pain to
have the the gains
oh God that sounds so corny but anyway
uh some of this overhang is because of
Twitter because people know like if his
Equity financing Partners bail elon's
gonna have to come up with the rest and
he's gonna have to sell more
Tesla is his piggy bank
so to suggest that there isn't an
overhang of Twitter over Tesla
wrong is a massive massive overhang it's
terrible it's painful
and uh and of course I'm I'm at a hotel
uh traveling
and the Market's crashing
well the good news is you could still
get that lifetime access still working
on getting the Shopify store up for that
new product we're launching and then
lifetime access is getting stripped for
