I'd imagine that Elon and Twitter would deliberately keep bot numbers in their reports to make it seem like the website is doing better than ever. Can Elon / Twitter straight up lie and share fake or misleading numbers? Would that be illegal and result in any kind of legal action, or are would they be allowed to lie and mislead because they're a private company? It's not like these reports would be audited by any external sources. Asking genuinely if anyone is familiarized with this legal domain.
