It's relevant because if there are more they lied to Musk and he can pay less money, possibly much MUCH less.

- midislack 4y agoThat's why Twitter will be made to provide better information to Musk as this goes along. There are many ways of determining if some account is a bot for sure, Twitter likely tracks all kinds of standard things like mouse position in the window, scrolling behavior, etc. which could easily discern a bot from a human. He's clearly not falling for the 5% number, and he shouldn't. 90% sounds low.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agomusk can request however much info he wants, but no amount of bad faith requests serving as a pretext for what is clearly a deep, economic-based regret will give him control over the deal now that he's signed a contract if you ask me, "I can't tell if there are bots on twitter" seems like a really good reason to not tender an offer until you can, but then again, I'm not as impulsive as Elon in any case, didn't he claim he was doing this for free speech and not money? Why should bot counts and advertisee eyeballs matter in that case? Not that I am one of the people who believes his oft-outlandish assertions and poop tweets anyways.
- midislack 4y agoHeh, who cares if Twitter was knowingly misleading investors for years!
