Elon Musk accuses Twitter of ‘material breach’ of takeover deal
马斯克指责Twitter“实质性违反”收购协议
Elon Musk’s legal team has written to Twitter threatening to abort his $44bn acquisition after the social media company failed to satisfy his demands for more detailed information about spam and fake accounts.
埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)的法律团队致函Twitter,威胁要中止他发起的440亿美元收购交易,因为这家社交媒体公司未能满足他的要求,即提供有关垃圾信息和虚假账户的更详细信息。
Musk has been critical of Twitter’s claims that less than 5 per cent of its monetisable daily active users were bots or scammers, warning last month that his takeover was “on hold” while he sought further information.
马斯克一直批评Twitter有关其日活跃用户(该公司可借助这些用户获利)中只有不到5%是机器人或诈骗者的说法,并在上月警告称,在他索取进一步信息之际,他已“暂停”收购交易进程。
In a letter to Twitter’s chief legal officer that was disclosed in a regulatory filing on Monday, Musk’s lawyers claimed its failure to provide more detail on bots and other fake accounts amounted to “a clear material breach” of Musk’s takeover agreement.
根据周一披露的监管申报文件,马斯克的律师致函Twitter首席法务官,声称Twitter未能提供有关机器人和其他虚假账户的更多细节,相当于“明确实质性违反”马斯克的收购协议。
