One of Elon Musk’s defining characteristics is his enormous digital verbiage. However, for a week the tycoon remained silent: he went from publishing between four and five tweets a day so as not to show signs of life.

This disturbing silence is not accidental, as it occurs in full negotiations for the purchase of Twitter by the billionaire, who has offered $ 44 billion for the social network. However, the parties have not yet reached an agreement.

With over 100 million followers, Musk still ranks sixth for people with the most followers followers on the platform. Barack Obama (132.1 million), Justin Bieber (114.1 million), Katy Perry (108.8 million), Rihanna (106.9 million) and Cristiano Ronaldo (101.3 million) are the accounts with the most followers.

Twitter and Musk are synonymous with controversy. Since announcing the purchase of the social network, the tycoon has multiplied the number of daily tweets, commenting on current issues or announcing some of his business decisions without any filter.

However, for a week the tycoon kept an eerie silence. It’s unclear if it has anything to do with his recent offer to buy the microblogging service or if he’s just taking a break.

What many speculate is this of course there is a clause involvedwhich obliges you not to post or comment the social network you are about to buy.

The truth is, when he was going to get access to more than 500 million tweets published every day On the social network, the tycoon has moderated his tone towards Twitter and its shareholders.

The number of bots, the controversy that stopped the purchase of Twitter

One of its conditions is to check if the number of bots revealed by the social network is true, about 5% of users. This could be the last step for the tycoon to agree to buy the platform. Does it have anything to do with his silence on Twitter these days?

The last time he tweeted was on June 21, when he posted a photo of a fuel price billboard at a gas station in the United States. Prior to June 21, Musk commented on other current topics such as his support for Dogecoin and congratulations to the Tesla mega-factory in Berlin, as well as opinions on SpaceX and Twitter.

What is more surprising is that he has not yet spoken out on such a controversial issue as the abolition of the right to abortion in the United States.

This week Elon Musk was also in the news for the expansion of the Tesla factory in Shanghai. The tycoon’s electric car company is taking steps to increase production in Shanghai, partially suspending production capacities at various points until early August to upgrade production lines.

The US-based electric car house plans to double its originally projected annual target to 1 million cars, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the details are private.
