>The narrative that he was doing it because of the bots was created in the last two weeks.
From page 3:
>One of the chief reasons Musk cited on March 31, 2022 for wanting to buy Twitter was to rid it of the “[c]rypto spam” he viewed as a “major blight on the user experience.”
From his TED talk in Vancouver on April 14:
>"A top priority I would have is eliminating the spam and scam bots and the bot armies that are on Twitter," Musk said during the event. "They make the product much worse. If I had a Dogecoin for every crypto scam I saw, we’d have 100 billion Dogecoin."
From his twitter on April 21:
>If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!
Also from page 3:
>In his press release announcing the deal on April 25, 2022, Musk raised a clarion call to “defeat the spam bots.”

Please provide more information on the claim that this narrative was created in the last two weeks.
- mlindner 4y agoPlease don't cite the lawsuit for the information if you're going to push this narrative as the lawsuit is written to be favorable to the accusers. The bot thing was a sub narrative, not the main reason for buying Twitter.
