Shares of Twitter traded sharply lower after Elon Musk hinted that he could seek to renegotiate the price of his Twitter takeover, saying a deal at a lower price wasn’t out of the question.  Twitter shares have also erased all of the gains since Musk disclosed his buyout. Musk said Friday that the acquisition was “on hold” while he researches the proportion of fake and spam accounts on the platform, which he believes Twitter has misstated.  Musk on Monday estimated that fake users make up at least 20% of all users. Twitter, meanwhile, has said the accounts made up fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily active users in the past quarter.

The deal, which must be reviewed by a federal judge, amounts to a legally binding agreement between the FDA and the company on steps needed to reopen the factory.
