Unless the contract had a clause requiring this to be demonstrated if requested. In which case it's a good way to get out of it at to he last moment: activate the clause and put Twitter in trouble if they disprove their own statements.
- that_guy_iain 5y agoNoob question, but wouldn't it be fraud if the number is higher than they're saying?
- Hedepig 5y agoThe contract explicitly states the number could be much higher than their estimate, so although IANAL, I doubt it.
- that_guy_iain 5y agoFraud isn't about the contract, it's about if someone lies to obtain money. Saying the stats are x when they're y because x sounds better seems like standard fraud to me.
- jquery 5y agoNo. It would only be fraud if they knew the methodology was likely to be extremely flawed and there are receipts with executives saying “let’s choose this because of X nefarious reason.” Twitter being wrong about the number, or using a methodology Elon doesn’t like, isn’t enough.
