Musk wants Twitter trial pushed to 2023 so he has time to analyze spam data
- ProAm 4y agoI assume he's already analyzed the spam data, hence his walking away from the deal. IMHO he's not buying twitter but is going to pay more than 1B in penalty.
- metadat 4y agoThere is no walk-away-for-$1B clause, he's on the hook to complete the deal he agreed to. Interesting how he claims to need more time to analyze the data while today he is literally sitting on a superyacht relaxing. If there were real urgency and time constraints to analyze information, I imagine he'd be busy getting to it.

- vba616 4y ago"...almost everything that I see about this dispute takes place in the alternate universe, the one where Twitter and Musk are going to court to determine once and for all how many bots there are. They just aren’t. In our actual universe, Twitter has made only extremely cautious and limited representations about how it counts bots. And Musk is mad that the bot-counters didn’t count bots the way he wanted them to. He met with Twitter’s management, and they explained how they count bots, and he was horrified. He came away from their meeting thinking that he could do a better job of fighting spam at Twitter, by sprinkling some machine learning on the spam or whatever. That’s great! That’s why he wanted to buy Twitter! And why he should have to!" (Matt Levine's newsletter today)
