Apparently T-Mobile CEO John Legere was holding back on his criticism of Sprint, but now that a merger between the companies is no longer in the cards, he’s letting loose — on Twitter, of course.
Here’s a sampling of his tweets within just the last few minutes.
Join T-Mobile now and jump off the Sprint bus before it crashes! #framily #unleash

News emerged last night that Sprint was giving up, for now, on its plan to acquire Bellevue-based T-Mobile in a deal that would have been worth as much as $32 billion.
Sprint, the third largest carrier in the U.S., replaced longtime CEO Dan Hesse as CEO earlier today, news that was first reported by Re/code. Sprint board member Marcelo Claure, the 43-year-old founder and CEO of Miami-based wireless distributor Brightstar, is taking the top job.
