he says he's out out the bottom line in the letter. musk says the company twitter is just not complying with the contractual obligation to give information surrounding. >> fake accounts on the platform. okay. this all comes after the social media company held a call yesterday to discuss the matter to discuss this matter. we now welcome scene that he ensure in. >> i have to wonder, was this ever real deal in musk's mind? >> you know, that is a great question. i know for sure that it was a real deal in the board of directors to twitter's mines because their job is to make sure that the shareholders get the most value that they can. that's literally their jobs. and what elon musk offered 44 billion dollars before. by the way, the market kind of started to tank was what they believe to be the best deal that they could get. they still believe it's the best deal. and now

they have said that they're willing to take him to court to make sure that he pays for this. >> i guess you have to pay a billion dollars if. he loses that, that the deal well out. so there's a billion dollars breakup fee, which is what the to come. you know, he and twitter agreed to when this first started and those break up these existing essentially too. >> force the marriott, if you will. but there's a issue that exists, which is that twitter really has been spending the last few months being trashed by elon musk. he's gone all over twitter at that tweeting about how terrible the company is, how awful the executives are. and now also a claiming in this letter that he sent to the sec and 2. >> it's a twitter that he believes they're lying about critical data about how many users on the platform, which, by the way could be its own legal ball of wax. so it's really kind of rough situation for everybody involved. lot of

drama this is how does this bode for twitter? in the scheme of things? not that that is a key question as well. a lot of the people who are way smarter than me say that this is a catastrophic thing for them. you know, if you want us to spend so long trashing the company. >> so it be having to try and kind of limp along without him would be really rough. at the same time, there are a lot of people at twitter who are really not excited to work for elon musk. so it's kind of a lose lose for everybody which is kind of what social media feels like for everybody anyway. so here we are. >> in in the news business were all over twitter. i know you are. but the majority of the people in this country don't use twitter, instagram and facebook are much more popular. so if you're at home, you see all this brouhaha. why should ordinary people care about this deal? >> i mean, it is something great to eat some popcorn while watching. let me tell

you, i think really what's important to remember is that while twitter has a very small audience compared to facebook and instagram and tiktok, the reality is that its influence on the political world, particularly but also the world's of news is we discussed entertainment. sports are very outsized. and so while we while lot of people may not be following even roll their eyes, very rightly at the idea of the company. the truth is that it has impact and that is why we keep close eye on that. >> you talk about free speech and you know, trump was banned still is banned. you talk about stuff like that. i so. >> yeah, i mean, it's beyond that to write a lot of the political world surrounds twitter when people use twitter for campaigning, it is used for policy announcements. as you pointed out, president trump and all the stuff that happened with them. and by the way, he used the responses he got on twitter. we will use all this and some of the books that came not from people like

bob woodward is that we learned that he the reactions he got on twitter in policy literally world defining policy was happening on twitter. >> so let me go back to the first discussions because that became kind of kind of first and foremost. everybody's talk about this merger and that's what elon musk was saying. and then now he's backing up because the dollars sign. so which one was it >> well, i mean, it certainly he argues that he got involved here because he worried about free expression, any constitutional lawyer will tell you that the interpretation elon musk was giving was quite askew and that we've explained a lot of that. i've seen that. but the bottom line is now he says that, you know, we all should go in the trash bin because it he claims twitter has not been honest about how many users on its platform, which again, is a thing that he's he's claiming that this company is

doing. >> so musk is going to presumably move on either pay a billion dollars fine or not, and he can do that. clearly for people who use twitter and for the politicians who rely on it to get their messages out, etcetera. what do you think is the fallout from all of this? >> i honestly, i mean, this is one of those big shrug og moments. i really don't know what's going to end up from all of this. you know, there's a lot of sense that twitter's influence in the world may have hit its peak, but there's also a very good argument to be made that this is the one stop along a very long of twitter impacting the world. and we're just watching a crazy circus as it happens. >> all right. well, thanks for helping us with the crazy circus in and explaining it to just use a shrug emoji. get us through yeah. and think you so

much and have a good night. that's the insurer seen that. >> appreciate his time. as always. coming up, what would you do for a steph curry autograph? down and give me how many with warriors star made one of his fans do for his john hancock and bay area drivers. finally seeing a little bitfof relief. why prices the hopper? >> starting to debt.

for your

money. this friday, the price of crude oil is dropping, which means that the price of the pump >> is certainly should be following suit. according to aaa, the average price for a gallon of gas here in california is down $0.30 since hitting a record high last month. so here in the bay area, drivers may actually be seeing a decrease of up to $0.40 a gallon despite lower gas prices. drivers say they would still like to see the prices continue to drop. >> i'm not happy as i know couples do too much for in years. i was. so there's i mean, it's crazy when i moved here was like a dollar back them. so no, see this kind stuff now. so it's great for that. >> so here's how the bay area compares to the rest of california. a gallon of gas and santa rosa is $6.14 little more expensive in san francisco. but despite everything he has. >> the price does drop to $6.18 one sure. in oakland. >> it's even lower in san jose
