Pieces of shit like Musk, controlling most of the wealth on Earth, are literally destroying humans lives at this point to try to gamble and earn themselves a few more billion dollars.

Makes me sick to my stomach. Musk is the most public, but the Mercers, the Murdocks, MBS, Koch, there are plenty of these fucking vampires out there.

Elon Musk Trolls Twitter (actual headline)
Bloomberg snip

"Twitter’s monetizable daily active users — has been in Twitter’s securities filings for many years, always with a caveat that “in making this determination, we applied significant judgment, so our estimation of false or spam accounts may not accurately represent the actual number of such accounts, and the actual number of false or spam accounts could be higher than we have estimated.”
Musk had the opportunity to read these filings before offering to buy Twitter, and he had the opportunity to do due diligence on these numbers before signing the deal. (He declined.) He can’t now go to Twitter and say “actually now you need to prove that your user numbers are right.” If he wants to walk, he has to prove that they’re wrong, and also that they’re wrong in a way that has a material adverse effect on the business.

Which he obviously can’t do."

Gotta love facts.

He wants to discover whether Twitter is continuing to lie about the ratio of people to bots who hold Twitter accounts.

He made his intention to buy well before the "5%" number was released, so he obviously didn't actually care that much about it. This is a blatant excuse on Musk's part. But still, it's good to see you're consistent in defending billionaires.

you sound like a soured tesla owner

Twitter says ~5% are bots, but if it turns out to be substantially more than that are bots, not real accounts, it will affect his offer, I would think, as Twitter would be worth less. Just due diligence. I don't think he is interested in coughing up a billion and looking nutso...;)

Tesla stock crashed by about 30% since he announced, the Twitter Overthrow.
Waiting for headline, musk stupidity crashes Tesla stock by 50 billion.

If it falls through this troll cost him a billion dollars. If this is really him torpedoing this deal he'll probably try to sue to get out of the billion dollars by claiming that the 5% spambot figure is an intentionally dishonest claim by twitter putting them on the hook for a billion dollars in liability and it'll go to court for the next 10 years.
