That <5% spam bot claim was not true according to Elon's investigation. He is not going to pay. May get it at a greatly reduced price though.
I'm not so sure he even wants it.
Bots are worse than fake or duplicate users. Bots are an operational liability. The platform has become a cesspool and needs a massive overhaul.
At this point TWTR is trading at $36. The deal with Musk had him paying $54.
If the market believes that upwards of 20% of twitter's users are bots and that Musk is really out and justifiably so, watch the stock price drop to the low twenties.
