FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

all right so this Elon Musk drama versus

0:01

Twitter is just getting out of hand and

0:03

it's getting very very complicated so

0:05

yesterday we had a ruling from a judge

0:07

that basically delayed the trial from

0:10

October 17th to sometime in November

0:13

that's because the judge realized hey

0:15

okay well it looks like you uh guys have

0:18

a deal that looks like it might commence

0:20

by Honor around October 28th you guys

0:22

will have your deal complete so if the

0:24

transaction doesn't happen to close by 5

0:26

PM on the 28th why don't you just email

0:29

me you know the judge here and uh we'll

0:31

set us a trial date for November 26 2022

0:35

so basically Elon Musk buying a month

0:37

you know he didn't go to his deposition

0:39

which would have probably been a pretty

0:40

ugly deposition unless he pulled a

0:41

Donald Trump you know I play the fifth

0:43

which generally is not the best thing to

0:45

do uh in in some cases although some

0:47

attorneys say no it is the best thing to

0:48

do so I'm not going to get into whether

0:49

or not that's what you should do or

0:50

shouldn't do this is going to turn

0:52

political really fast otherwise but

0:54

anyway what's interesting here is that

0:56

uh I yesterday I made a little bit of a

0:58

mistake so there's this debt financing

1:01

commitment letter that was originally

1:04

filed around April 21st on the SEC

1:06

website that shows that Elon musk's 13

1:09

billion dollars of debt financing

1:11

expires on October 20th which that was

1:14

actually really interesting in terms of

1:15

timing because the trial was set for

1:17

October 17th then got pushed to after

1:20

October 28th which that would be past

1:23

this financing commitment which would

1:24

enable basically the banks to say buy we

1:27

don't want to do this deal anymore

1:28

because we're going to lose hundreds of

1:29

millions of dollars on it and if Elon

1:32

can't get his debt financing he actually

1:34

has the right to walk away from this

1:36

transaction and uh and and pay a one

1:39

billion dollar termination fee so his

1:41

deal is contingent upon financing now

1:44

Bloomberg doesn't seem to think that's

1:45

the case Bloomberg is making the

1:47

argument that no uh he actually in the

1:50

original contract had no contingency for

1:53

financing and now all of a sudden he's

1:54

trying to weasel in this contingency for

1:56

financing and I'm like Bloomberg did

1:59

y'all read the cancellation rights

2:01

because they're literally right here

2:03

this is a I'm using my iPhone right now

2:06

because for some reason my iPad HDMI

2:08

port's not working but this is the

2:10

iPhone 14 actually works really well for

2:11

this this is the Clause here that says

2:14

the merger agreement provides that

2:16

Twitter and the parent blah blah blah

2:18

blah may cause Elon Musk basically to to

2:21

go hard in terms of his Equity financing

2:23

commitment uh but if for some reason the

2:28

debt and margin loan are not available

2:31

which are seen right here now elon's

2:33

already killed the idea of using margin

2:35

so that's gone but right here this debt

2:37

and margin loan financing if that is not

2:40

funded or not available as we see right

2:43

here then parent which is Elon Musk will

2:46

be required to pay Twitter a termination

2:48

fee of one billion now you can read the

2:50

legalese there I'm just kind of

2:51

summarizing that right now right so in

2:54

in summary looking at the termination

2:56

right it's like well it's right there

2:58

there's a contingency for debt and

2:59

margin loan so I don't know why

3:01

Bloomberg is making this argument that

3:02

oh he doesn't have a contingency for

3:04

financing and he's trying to weasel that

3:05

in that's not the case he's always had a

3:07

contingency for financing but financing

3:10

the original financing agreement had an

3:12

expiration date of October 20th however

3:15

it looks like there's a new financing

3:17

agreement that actually included a

3:19

six-month extension all the way to April

3:22

25th so this complicates things a little

3:25

bit because is Elon actually going to be

3:27

able to delay this trial to April to get

3:29

that debt financing to expire it's

3:31

possible but it would take a lot of

3:33

effort so this is not as cut and dry as

3:35

we thought it was yesterday because that

3:36

debt financing is actually still going

3:38

to be around for another six months now

3:40

what is interesting though and this is a

3:43

very complicated section to read and and

3:44

I'm not an attorney so I can't even tell

3:46

you if I've read it correctly but my

3:48

understanding here is and this is in the

3:50

debt financing commitment letter my

3:52

understanding here is that there is a

3:54

minimum Equity contribution required in

3:58

this deal and it is sent at 40 percent

4:02

now I think that's really interesting

4:04

because it makes me wonder okay well if

4:07

uh if if for example uh 13 billion

4:11

dollars of debt is to represent

4:14

UH 60 at Max uh of of the financing

4:19

which would mean the rest is 40 Equity

4:21

well then if we go to a calculator and

4:23

we say all right 13 billion dollars

4:26

represents no more than 60 percent debt

4:29

then the minimum valuation of Twitter

4:32

would have to actually be about

4:35

21.6 billion dollars and that's really

4:38

simple you just 13 billion dollars

4:39

divided by 0.6 and that would mean the

4:43

minimum Equity is the difference so

4:44

minimum equity in this case would be 8.6

4:46

right uh and the valuation would be 21

4:49

bill in that case well we know that the

4:51

deal is actually being done at 44

4:52

billion so that shouldn't be an issue

4:54

right maybe so some people are now

4:56

speculating that it's possible that the

4:59

banks could say thanks to this

5:01

particular Clause here the banks might

5:03

be able to say hey hey hey you know what

5:05

the fair market value not what you're

5:08

paying but right here the fair market

5:10

value of Twitter is actually a lot lower

5:14

than what you're paying therefore we're

5:17

going to kill the financing because we

5:18

don't think the minimum Equity is in

5:20

effect

5:21

now to some extent

5:23

people believe that this is a possible

5:26

out for Elon but it would be a really

5:27

bad probably bad look for the banks to

5:30

re-nag on their debt financing

5:32

commitments and they probably lose some

5:33

clout on Wall Street unless of course

5:35

Wall Street is convinced that Elon is

5:37

overpaying by that much and people are

5:39

like yeah no we don't blame you banks

5:40

for pulling out but then again you know

5:43

Elon and and well okay I'm not gonna

5:46

make a joke here never mind

5:48

so uh it's gonna be a pulling out joke

5:50

and you know Elon doesn't generally pull

5:53

out you know so it's kind of unique you

5:55

know we we gotta help population I mean

5:57

I told you it was gonna be a bad joke

6:00

so anyway uh what's what the other

6:03

option is is that uh Elon Musk

6:06

potentially then just kicks the can down

6:08

the road until April but that would take

6:11

a lot of gamesmanship which some people

6:13

are actually saying is potentially

6:14

exactly what's happening because now

6:16

there's talk that well if Elon Musk is

6:18

supposed to close his deal in the next

6:20

two weeks or three weeks here then he

6:22

should have been already talking to

6:23

Banks to to say like hey like get ready

6:26

to send your money like it doesn't just

6:28

happen overnight to send your money like

6:29

it's going to take some effort to send

6:30

the money over and rumors are from

6:33

people not authorized to talk on this so

6:35

this is sort of as reported by The Wall

6:38

Street Journal and Bloomberg and such

6:39

rumors are that Elon Musk has not yet

6:43

contacted any of the banks to tell them

6:45

like hey get the financing ready like

6:47

I'm serious about closing so this is

6:49

sort of raising the prospect that oh

6:51

Elon is just playing games here and now

6:53

he's going to do whatever he can to milk

6:55

the clock you know apparently he delayed

6:57

his deposition for fear because uh you

6:59

know somebody on his legal staff was

7:01

potentially exposed to coven and so it

7:03

makes you wonder like okay we kicked

7:05

this into November oh well now we've got

7:06

you know the Black Friday sales events

7:08

or whatever for Tesla or whatever you

7:11

want to argue or over the holidays it's

7:13

Thanksgiving oh now it's Christmas and

7:15

then you know what are we going to say

7:16

the January problem is oh no I'm saying

7:19

I don't know I mean maybe you can kick

7:21

the can down the road but I don't think

7:22

the judge is going to play with that and

7:23

let this go until April remember Elon

7:25

Musk and Twitter and uh yeah Tesla uh

7:27

well elon's legal team originally asked

7:30

for a court date in April problem

7:31

originally like way back in the day when

7:34

they were trying to cancel this deal

7:35

they asked for a court date in April

7:36

which kind of makes you wonder like oh

7:38

you guys were trying to get that

7:39

financing expire and the judge is like

7:41

no I'm gonna go for October you know it

7:43

kind of is all lining up they're trying

7:45

to milk the clock to April here and uh

7:48

you know other people are saying hey but

7:49

what about like if what if his other

7:51

Equity Partners don't come through and

7:52

could this create selling pressure on

7:54

Tesla well that Clause is actually right

7:56

here it's actually 9.9 B I think it is

7:59

yeah 9.9 B in uh in the termination

8:02

section here of the original agreement

8:05

and section 9.9 highlighted in the

8:07

yellow here basically says the company

8:08

can force Elon to come up with all the

8:10

equity that's required in this deal

8:12

which is somewhere around 31 billion

8:14

dollars so if Elon gets Equity partners

8:16

of 20 billion dollars great then Elon

8:19

has to bring up 20 billion dollars less

8:20

but if they all bail the company Twitter

8:23

can force Elon to come up with the full

8:25

31 billion dollars but the only

8:28

contingency he has is that 13 billion

8:30

dollars of debt financing that's that's

8:31

an actual contingency that he does have

8:33

so again you know why why Bloomberg and

8:36

I'll show you what they're saying too

8:38

and I just think it's ridiculous but why

8:40

Bloomberg is uh and then I want to talk

8:43

Tesla really quick because it's just

8:44

having another terrible day in a row

8:46

again it's it's just it's I feel like

8:49

I'm melting away here

8:50

but anyway

8:52

um Bloomberg Bloomberg had the following

8:54

to say which I posted on Twitter follow

8:56

me on Twitter if you don't yet uh but

8:58

they had the following to say here on

8:59

Twitter talks between Elon Musk and

9:01

Twitter to reach an agreement blah blah

9:03

blah blah uh the okay here the

9:06

billionaires lawyers say that musk was

9:08

willing to do 54-20 pending receipt of

9:11

proceeds of debt financing and then they

9:13

write the original deal didn't contain

9:15

such a contingency and I'm thinking to

9:17

myself like what's your agenda here

9:19

Bloomberg because like I don't know

9:21

about you and again maybe because I'm

9:23

not an attorney I'm just reading it

9:24

wrong or something like that but I'm

9:27

pretty sure the cancellation right for

9:31

Elon is pretty clearly outlined in the

9:34

original agreement up top here and you

9:37

know you can pause that and read it

9:38

yourself but I'm pretty sure that top

9:39

section there basically says uh that

9:42

margin loan financing and debt financing

9:44

has to be funded or available it says it

9:47

right there so I I I don't know but what

9:50

I do know is that Tesla stock is falling

9:52

and probably honestly a lot I think has

9:56

to do with the overhang well not only

9:58

the macro overhang that rates are going

9:59

to go even oh my gosh it's a 228 now are

10:01

you serious oh we're about to get some

10:04

retail capitulation holy crap dude look

10:07

at my Weeble okay this is disgusting you

10:10

can see my Weeble cost basis which is

10:11

not everything I have on Tesla but you

10:13

can see my Weeble cost spaces

10:15

oh I'm getting effed

10:20

oh it feels so good

10:22

uh anyway so uh no it it actually is

10:25

pretty miserable uh but that's okay

10:28

so uh you got to go through the pain to

10:31

have the the gains

10:32

oh God that sounds so corny but anyway

10:35

uh some of this overhang is because of

10:37

Twitter because people know like if his

10:39

Equity financing Partners bail elon's

10:41

gonna have to come up with the rest and

10:42

he's gonna have to sell more

10:45

Tesla is his piggy bank

10:47

so to suggest that there isn't an

10:49

overhang of Twitter over Tesla

10:51

wrong is a massive massive overhang it's

10:55

terrible it's painful

10:58

and uh and of course I'm I'm at a hotel

11:01

uh traveling

11:03

and the Market's crashing

11:06

well the good news is you could still

11:08

get that lifetime access still working

11:10

on getting the Shopify store up for that

11:11

new product we're launching and then

11:13
