No, I don't think that simplification would apply here.
The number of bots on Twitter has always seemed like a boon of an issue to me. Twitter wants to keep it's user/engagement numbers up and bots do help them. I can 100% understand why they've taken a soft approach to it, even if I find it ethically questionable.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that anyone who's engaged with Twitter, or knows a reasonable amount about it has known about this problem for many years. I find it hard to believe that Elon wouldn't have been well aware of this upfront.

The part of your simplification that I take issue with is, "[...] that the seller had hidden." IMO - everyone in town knows that house has building code issues, but, no one really knows the exact extent. Unfortunately, these same building code issues are likely keeping the building standing.
The seller has a gray-area "issue" that is on the fence between "feature" and "bug," and the buyer is using it as leverage to pull out of a deal they're on the hook for.
