He spoke on stage, essentially off the record, but a source in the room told CNN's chief media correspondent Brian Stelter that Musk tripled down on his decision to try to back out of the deal and claiming it's all about the bots.
That may be part of the reason Musk has seemingly been casting doubt that his purchase offer would come to fruition — almost from the moment he made it. "He would kind of throw daggers out there and then walk away and we never quite knew what his intention was," Hirsch said. "I'm sort of fascinated by the repercussions of his announcement that it very quickly became entangled in American politics," Bump said.
One of the big questions now is what will happen to Twitter, from its employees to its advertising revenue to its share price.
