Ya wanna fill people in on the full story?Looks like Musk doesn't want to pay for twitter anymore.
Trying to pull out without having to pay the break fee.
Very true, but also he made an offer at arguably too high a price considering the correction presently occurring that lowers Twitters price but .....more importantly his own capital including Tesla.He could be exposing the fraud and corruption in Twitter just to devalue it.
A lot of Twitter employees are hostile towards him so he might have grounds to pay less for a damaged product.
Twitter is a sick steaming cesspool pile of toxic crud.
Huge blunder or 4D chess, time will tell.Very true, but also he made an offer at arguably too high a price considering the correction presently occurring that lowers Twitters price but .....more importantly his own capital including Tesla.
But the offer he made does not let him get out of it. 1 billion break cost.
This is a better article.Apparently some 20% of "users" could be bots, which substantively lowered the value of the platform, inter alia.
They were just stalling long enough to delete the bots.
Thereby making it harder for Musk to get out of the deal
The 4d chess game is on... or does Elon really want to bail?
Just to clarify what we are looking at, is this an example supporting musk's claim of bots on twitter?
How do I know you aren't a bot??

Much like the radical 'Murican lefists eh?Of course you could just be an online creation from the Russian troll farms that essentially manufactured much of the lies and mischief that has undermined many Western societies.

Inside Russia’s Notorious ‘Internet Research Agency’ Troll Farmspyscape.com
When two South Carolina professors studied Pro-Vladimir Putin social media posts in early 2022, they noticed a pattern - the Tweets, TikTok, and Instagram posts had the hallmarks of the Internet Research Agency (IRA), the Kremlin-backed trolls accused of meddling in the 2016 US election.
During Russian holidays and on weekends, the activity dropped off, suggesting the trolls had regular work schedules. Similar or identical text, photos, and videos were found posted across various accounts and platforms. An analysis by Clemson University and ProPublica found that the posts appeared at defined times consistent with the IRA workday.
“These accounts express every indicator that we have to suggest they originate with the Internet Research Agency,” said Professor Darren Linvill, who has been studying IRA accounts for years.
So what have the IRA trolls been up to?
A Justice Department indictment filed in 2018 and other reports have described hundreds of paid Russian trolls operating disinformation campaigns with an annual budget in the millions. A management group oversees the various departments - graphics, search engine optimization, IT, and finance departments among them.
The trolls are told to watch American TV shows like House of Cards and are given grammar lessons. To hide their Russian identity, the trolls use proxy servers, communicate in English, and use fake identities to establish hundreds of accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media. Within time, those accounts gain followers and became more influential.
