FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

hey everyone me kevin here so many

0:01

people are convinced that elon musk has

0:03

to buy twitter especially the armchair

0:06

attorneys who spent 45 minutes searching

0:09

through tweets on twitter suggesting

0:11

that well elon musk has waived his due

0:13

diligence and therefore has to buy

0:15

twitter and therefore don't worry that

0:17

twitter is down another five percent

0:18

today

0:19

presenting a substantial arbitrage

0:21

opportunity between the price of where

0:23

it is now under 40 bucks a share all the

0:25

way up to 54.20 which is what elon has

0:28

agreed to pay and if elon doesn't

0:29

complete the deal well then everybody's

0:31

just going to sue elon and they'll get

0:32

their money anyway those are what the um

0:35

the arguments made of course by the

0:36

armchair attorneys but what we need to

0:38

do is talk about reality here because

0:41

armchair attorneys on twitter don't

0:44

always have all of the facts and i'm

0:46

going to try my best to provide you a

0:48

little bit more color in terms of what's

0:50

actually going on so first there are a

0:52

few things that are very helpful to know

0:54

and they have to do with timing because

0:57

the screenshots you see on twitter don't

0:59

always give you the proper timing so it

1:01

starts with the disclosure that we get

1:02

on april 14th which is actually a

1:04

disclosure from the day before april

1:07

13th let's pull that up here's what the

1:09

disclosure says on april 13th the

1:11

reporting person delivered a letter blah

1:13

blah blah basically april 13th here

1:15

right but take a look at this the

1:17

proposal

1:18

of elon buying twitter is non-buying and

1:21

structured and agreed upon conditioned

1:23

upon other things including uh

1:25

confirmatory legal business regulatory

1:28

accounting tax due diligence and uh and

1:31

obviously financing due diligence would

1:33

be included in this as well so right

1:34

here on the 14th disclosure we know okay

1:37

we've still got these contingencies

1:39

right we still got to work out details

1:41

of the transaction even though we're

1:42

talking about it there are a lot of

1:43

things that could go wrong

1:45

now on the april 21st disclosure we get

1:48

this line right here the proposal was

1:52

and remains a non-binding so we've got a

1:54

non-binding proposal here and this is

1:56

sort of an amendment to the proposal

1:58

right and it says here at the time of

2:00

delivery the proposal was subject to the

2:02

completion of financing and business due

2:05

diligence but is no longer subject to

2:09

financing and uh due diligence and is no

2:12

longer subject to business due diligence

2:14

this is that quote you keep seeing going

2:16

around on twitter that in these proposal

2:19

disclosures it says hey our proposal is

2:21

good we're no longer worried about

2:23

business due diligence but then and the

2:25

timing here is extremely important then

2:28

we get the merger agreement

2:30

that merger agreement gets disclosed on

2:33

april 25th

2:35

and what that merger agreement shows is

2:38

right here

2:39

section 6.4

2:41

of the merger agreement which comes

2:44

after this no due diligence disclosure

2:47

that everybody keeps sharing on twitter

2:49

this section here 6.4 says that upon

2:52

reasonable notice the company twitter

2:55

shall provide elon musk

2:57

property access books and records of the

3:00

company and all information concerning

3:03

the business that is reasonably

3:06

requested in other words for elon musk

3:09

to review and conduct diligence on now

3:12

that's very important because if this

3:14

information doesn't corroborate what was

3:17

previously publicly disclosed then there

3:19

could be an argument that either this is

3:23

a contingency clause which allows elon

3:25

musk to cancel the transaction or it

3:28

allows elon musk to claim that he was

3:30

fraudulently misled based on twitter's

3:34

public filings let's go back to the

3:35

board right over this side this video is

3:38

brought to you by public if you want to

3:39

get a free stock worth all the way up to

3:40

a thousand dollars make sure to go to

3:42

medkevin.com public you can follow me

3:44

there at meet kevin since it's a social

3:47

brokeraging platform you can check out

3:49

the crypto they let you buy the stocks

3:51

they let you buy and it's a great way to

3:53

invest for the long term make sure to

3:54

check out public they don't buy or sell

3:56

your information and they don't use

3:57

payment for order flow mackin.com

4:00

the sec has a rule rule 10b5

4:04

and it says that a company can be held

4:06

liable for material emissions to their

4:10

public information or material

4:13

information that is misstated and so

4:15

there are two potential arguments here

4:18

that could be made one potential

4:20

argument is that elon musk still has

4:23

contingencies for due diligence and

4:25

therefore if he wants to he could either

4:27

cancel the deal or renegotiate because

4:29

of section 6.4 of the merger agreement

4:32

which came after this original proposal

4:35

talk so in other words elon musk could

4:37

make one argument that hey we're still

4:38

contingent y'all are still required to

4:40

provide us information and if you're

4:42

refusing to provide us the information

4:44

that we want then we could potentially

4:46

cancel the deal because you're not

4:48

following the contract which we have a

4:50

merger agreement and this is why if we

4:52

pull up the ipad right now this is why

4:54

we get a letter right here saying that

4:57

the issuer or twitter is potentially in

5:00

material breach of their obligations

5:03

under the merger agreement section 6.4

5:07

so elon musk's attorneys are saying hey

5:09

look here right here we're letting you

5:11

know we are putting you on notice that

5:14

you are in material breach of your

5:16

obligations under this agreement so

5:19

let's go back to the board here and try

5:20

to wrap this up and understand this

5:23

elon musk has two potential arguments

5:26

number one twitter

5:28

still is required to provide information

5:30

if they don't provide information

5:31

they're actually breaching their

5:32

agreement so number one is just

5:35

a straight up breach of the agreement

5:38

number two so potential argument number

5:40

two is that okay fine we got information

5:44

which

5:45

was the same information we got in the

5:47

sec reports however that information was

5:51

misleading and it is material

5:53

information because if we're buying a

5:55

company that has five times as many bots

5:57

as we thought it did that is a material

6:00

misstatement even though twitter says in

6:02

their annual 10k report their annual

6:05

report that the 5 estimate of bots could

6:09

be higher than 5

6:11

will this cover your but

6:14

line actually protect twitter in an

6:17

argument that well we're not misleading

6:18

anyone we said it could be higher sure

6:21

but how much higher so all of this comes

6:23

down to judgment and ultimately will

6:26

probably result in a lot of lawsuits but

6:28

elon does have some potential ways of

6:31

escaping this number one arguing

6:33

twitter's not following the merger

6:34

agreement which again came after that

6:36

due diligence disclosure right that

6:38

merger agreement is the most recent

6:40

document which usually carries the most

6:41

weight or he can make the argument that

6:44

he had misleading material information

6:46

or both

6:47

hear me and i'm not an attorney i don't

6:49

think elon musk is necessarily in a

6:51

position where he is forced to buy

6:54

twitter so be careful with that argument
