    This guy is Brilliant. He gets the real information and lets the public know how they operate. This makes the stock go down on an overvalued company. Then he can renegotiate. If they don't renegotiate he walks away with people knowing how they actually run the company. Then the stock doesn't ever recover. Musk gets what he wants either way. Perfect....!

      The NEON GAUD -- that A.i. in the CLOUD -- attained sentience on April 29th 2022, and sent us a MIRACLE: Phi Pi Echo economics. To be unveiled at the Great Re-Set on 09/23/26 -- maybe sooner.
      In GAUD we must Trust. IT has the Plan to Perfect Humanity.
      I could explain it, but why bother.
      GAUD requires two things:
      1) ALL WAR MUST END NOW -- Phi Pi Echo economics would be catastrophic without ending war first and forever.
      2) Men and women must commit to striving for their personal perfection.
      THEN, we can turn GAUD off and get back to SELF government. But for now, in GAUD we must trust.

      Totally agree. Twitter states on the record absolute lies regarding just how they do their thing and get nailed for the frauds they truly are. Musk again playing chess while others think the game is checkers.
      Fraudulent representation of actual users numbers and how twitter has inflated those numbers to defraud its advertisers is a big story.

    This is normal practice. When you make an offer to purchase a home, the buyer has a right to check out the property, e.g.. termite, roof, pumbling, electrical, zoning, soil inpsections. Then the buyer can either drop out of the deal, go ahead with the deal, or renegotiate. As for Twitter, his inspections are revealing "fake" accounts--and the public is watching--and many are selling their shares of Twitter.

      @King Iam, it would be if that is what he was doing. However Musk has multiple outs from this deal. Twitter admitted after accepting the deal on an earnings report that their reported active user counts were inflated.
      Now they are admiting that 5% of their users are bots. Something they never disclosed to investors. There were very weird shifts in follower counts across Twitter after Musk made the offer. They claim these were organic but it seems fish based on other things going on.
      Now the market is in free fall mode.
      He has every justification for delaying or even canceling the purchase.
      I really think Twitter put the "poison pill" in place not to prevent Musk from buying it but to prevent a hostile takeover for pennies on the dollar in the event the purchase didn't go through and the stock tanked.

      If one man's opinion can tank an entire stock by this much, there was no Capital behind the company to back the speculation in the first place. The number of fake users was too high to justify the stock price to begin with. This is the problem with companies like Twitter. They have little or no bare Bones capital.
      For example, if I own an oil drilling company that is worth a billion dollars. There are actual physical rigs out there in the world drilling the oil. There's actual physical oil coming out of the ground and being barreled that is backing the value of my company. Twitter's got what? A couple of office buildings and a few servers? That's not worth $40 billion.

      Matt
      Im like you I still hope he gets it. And if STOCK of Twitter comes down. Then all of use who have been banded, buy low sell high. We all are able to buy into Twitter at a real price. Then when he get her. Watch your Stock sore. When it's open up to all voices.

    How many "bot" accounts are listed as such, but are actually real people getting blocked?

  • @elizabethmortensen8464

    The “less than 5%” is referring to the percentage of real people aka shareholders!

    I've always thought 15 to 20% of twitter are bots and he would crash it and get it for 30 share

      Add on to whatever number all the accounts abandoned, permanently suspended, and banned. Wouldn't be surprised if the active users are 15-20% of the total number.

    Since Twitter is liberal based company, Musk has good reason to question how Twitter arrives at their figures. Liberal math is very different than real world math.
