> The spam accounts angle seems like a convenient scapegoat, rather than a real surprise to him.
It seems apparent to this observer that the spam accounts thing and other metrics were always super inflated and perhaps now there will be a reckoning.
I also think it is very funny how there was much gnashing of teeth and literal tears at the prospect of him owning twitter but now they might end up chasing him and try to force him to buy them, thus further alienating the woke mob and sowing chaos internally. Look how the turn tables have turn tabled.
If they are greedy enough to go to court over it the question of just how fake this company is will stay in the news for the duration of the trial and the stock will tank. If they don't they might have to, you know, actually function like a real company.
No kidding Twitter has spam/fake accounts, isn't that part of why Musk wanted to buy Twitter in the first place?
He publicly stated that he wanted to buy Twitter to clear up the fake account issue, he knew about the issue before entering the deal, when signing he waived due diligence that could have given him the opportunity to investigate the issue before signing...
Musk's own tweets will work against him if he tries to use the fake accounts issue to back out.
His stated reason to buy twitter was in defense of free speech, despite the bots not because of them.
I'm guessing he saw a glimpse of just how extensive the problem really is and the unwillingness of the organization to be remotely honest about it. It would not surprise me if it was 95% bots, rather than 5%.
