> what did he see on Twitter that is worth spending 40 Billion dollars?

as far as I can remember all his financials (and the world's in general were way better when he put the offer in) problem with locking something like that in and then the wind changes is you can be on the hook for comparatively a lot more because the sale price does not change but the economic climate has.

It really looked like he wanted to go to court to get out of the deal, discovery started and they allowed in communications that would have meant he has to pay anyway because of what was said, so he dropped it all and paid up.
