Not a coincidence. Elon is a player in this drama. This is being coordinated at the highest levels.

I kind of for once halfway believe you.
Elon wasn’t going to buy Twitter maybe.

It was foretold that these social media companies will collapse under the weight of their crimes. Twitter is right on track for that to happen. Eventually their shareholders are going to sue that company into oblivion.

They lied to their investors and their advertisers.

There's a reason they aren't rushing to prove Elon wrong.

I've said it for 2 weeks. He never intended to buy Twitter. The deal was too reliant on Tesla stock.

But I don't think it's a conspiracy. Just an ego trip.

Those who can’t see the gambit laid out by the purchase offer are playing checkers.

Elon is playing chess here and the board of dir for twitter overplayed their hand.

It makes no sense for them to lie in this situation. As if Elon can't audit the company to determine it's value before dropping 43 Billion on it.

He should have just kept his mouth shut and come clean to Elon behind the scenes.

I know the board said recently they are going to force the transaction or Elon paying the billion $ penalty, but if Elon can prove that bots make up as much more of the user base then the 5% they stated in their filing, he'll get out of that $1 billion penalty. Every one if these contracts has a material adverse change clause, and that would 100% fall under it.

I was part of a company being taken private by KKM for $6B until a few months before close one of our engineering teams in Germany spent $200m in one month unapproved on supplies and equipment. That was enough for KKM to claim a material adverse change and back out of the transaction.

Samsung bought us 5 years later for $8b

Elon is attacking their precious.

Only time will tell how this drama plays out, and where Elon Musk lands on the trust meter.

So far, he's spraying a flamethrower on on the left's bullshite. I enjoy that.

It probably never occurred to a one of them that bots could be either that numerous or a potential liability for the company.

IMO, I think he was probably either approached by Truth Social, or was in the process of making his own site before someone in the company let him know that there were X many bots and it was a massive liability.

Way more than that. More than 200 million fake accounts. False advertising dollars, Twitter is in huge trouble.

So when will Russia/Putin expose the cabal? Even if they had video evidence the USA media and politicos would say it was 'Russian propaganda."

So is Elon the new savior? What happened to Putin?

It's gonna be closer to 50M+

Their SEC filings attest less than 5% of their 330M. That's securities fraud.
