Whether they inflated their numbers or not, the burden would be on Musk to prove that and it would be completely impossible to do that with a 3rd party tool. You are a monetizable user on Twitter if you just log in and read tweets. Something that no 3rd party tool could possibly track.

- eastbound 4y agoI’m surprised that someone clever enough to run a business, takes that excuse to get out of a deal. He must have been tired. Any businessman who gets into such a position, even by mistake, would have at least taken this opportunity to require Twitter’s methodology on counting bots an expose its flaws. The claim would be something tangible like “This account is a bot and your criteria falsely counts it as a user.” Not “Really there are 5% bots? Everybody, look!” He looks more like an engineer who can’t stand the fact that ballpark numbers are a decent way to do business in a lot of cases.
- lokar 4y agoNo, the burden is not on Musk to prove anything. He waived all rights to due diligence. There is nothing to prove or disprove.
