Now what happens to Twitter's BOD, who collectively owned 77 shares, who lied to the SEC in their previous BS reports. Ya think their shareholders will sue the pukes? The fuggers forgot, the Honey Badger hits back 10 X harder. I think they are going to pay out the ass for blocking the Don.

This is the functional equivalent of shrugging and turning to leave when you're haggling with a Mexican shop operating out of a storage unit. Twitter will blink. Musk will get his deal at a good discount.
Be not weary in well doing.

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.

Yep, and who said 4 years ago Facebook and Twitter would go under, into receivership OR become public Utilities? Dont tell me I have to go back and dig up and post the Q drop that said that again, Remey. That Q is such a funny larp.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Good background read for those interested,"The only way Twitter, with 217 million users, could exist as a viable platform is if they had access to tech systems of incredible scale and performance, and those systems were essentially free or very cheap. The only entity that could possibly provide that level of capacity and scale is the United States Government – combined with a bottomless bank account. A public-private partnership. If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy. Let that sink in. The U.S. technology system, the assembled massive system of connected databases and server networks, is the operating infrastructure that offsets the cost of Twitter to run their own servers and database. The backbone of Twitter is the United States government."

Somewhat Germaine to the subject,
I heard Clay Travis comment to Jesse Waters that Musk will go through with the purchase though at a lower price. Travis based that on Musk not "pulling out" at any other occasion.
Musk has 9 kids I believe...😆

If someone can give a short answer that a high school graduate can understand, what is the original purpose of these fake accounts? Is it what I suspect here on the 24HCF where one person answers himself with 2 or more operating names?

It's to make schietty sows ears look like silk purses.

Now that millions of accounts are fake, they are being defrauded. Straight up fraud.

Not a law dog but i believe he gets out without paying.
They have hid and lied about their operation since he tendered an offer.
They did not have a good faith effort.

Musk is losing his shirt to destroy Twitter. He already paid about 9 billion dollars for the shares he already owns. He’s going to lose much if not all of that investment. The stockholders will sue and the advertisers will sue. I don’t see Twitter surviving this. The shell that’s left will be sold off for pennies. Facebook is another social media company with huge liabilities from bots and advertising.

Facebook is another social media company with huge liabilities from bots and advertising. I wouldn’t say Elon is losing his shirt. He’s worth another couple hundred billion, so he should be fine. Your point is valid though. He is making a big investment; one I would argue on our behalf!

Probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise to many as to how common fake accounts and "padding" view counts is on internet entities when number of members/followers and especially viewing activity results in increased number of advertisers = more advertising $$$... I've watched view counts jump 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 views with each mouse click.
