    If he's so damn smart, why would he have gone this far without doing his due diligence on the bot thing previously? He already owns 9% or whatever the number is.

    Elon Musk: Smartest Guy in The World or Complete Clown?

    I was with a public company owned by Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus that got acquired. I gave a facility tour to the CFO and he was fuming. “Did former CEO know this?” Yes.. too late. Deal signed. Too late Elon.

    And, he met with board for three days.

    There’s no perception. He’s made his views and actions crystal clear. It’s weird that suddenly he’s some kind of right wing hero now. Maybe he’s gonna start building trucks.

    If it costs Elon a billion but saves him 10+ on the purchase price he wins handily.
    How many times did Elon violate securities law to do the deal? He’s a bad faith lawless douchwbag shooting himself in the foot only being saved because historically totally predictable shift right is courting new Allies.

    and he’s been like Trump for years

    Questions for those following this drama (too lazy to search)
    - does the Offer to Purchase (or whatever they call the agreement between Musk and Twitter) include representations re: active (not bot) subscriber count?
    - Are there disclosures in TWTR financials re: % bots?
    - Did Musk put up collateral for the $1 billion breakup fee?

    TIA

    ^^^Thx
    I guess I don’t fault him for requiring support for representations.

    OTOH, the Board can reject a lower offer, or as noted upthread, Salesforce and the PE investors can buy a majority at lower price

    Either way I see this whole thing as a Musk flex, and now he’s looking for an exit.

    ETA - would be hilarious to learn that a large portion of Musk’s followers are bots…

    Board has already said there is no hold on the deal and they are enforcing it at full price. Period

    I’m sure there are legit bots setup to scan words and data and not just spam. It’s part of the value in social media.

    Especially if they’re bots he created.

    So really, the answer to those three questions is “no”.

    TWTR makes an estimate of fake accounts in good faith, but sez it could well be way off.
    Musk had a chance to get more info about this issue before making his offer and chose not to.

    Guessing Musk wasn’t expecting equity markets to take a shit right after he made his offer.

    Timeline:

    - Musk is contacted by the author about the sexual assault article Wednesday morning, and asked if he’d like to comment

    - Around noon on Wednesday, Musk announces on Twitter that he’s now a Republican

    - Shortly thereafter Musk says to expect hit pieces against him because of his new political views

    - Article is published Thursday afternoon

    What a douche.

    So Elon is buying Twitter so he can cancel the people who will try to cancel him?
