In a filing, Musk’s lawyers said Twitter had failed or refused to respond to multiple requests for information on fake or spam accounts on the platform, which is fundamental to the company’s business performance.
The Friday filing claimed that “Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions” of the buyout deal,” and that the company “appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement.”
“For nearly two months, Mr. Musk has sought the data and information necessary to “make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter’s platform,” Musk’s law firm Skadden Arps said in a letter to Twitter.
“Twitter has failed or refused to provide this information. Sometimes Twitter has ignored Mr. Musk’s requests, sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed to comply while giving Mr. Musk incomplete or unusable information.”
And in his $44bn bluff, they showed their hand.
Now we all know what we long suspected, social media is a collection of bots run by the regime, used to sway the hearts and minds of the weakest among us, creating a “zombie” horde ready to deploy whenever a crisis is needed.
Take out blatantly calling him a “far right wing nazi extremist” (instead just inferring it via their discussion) and I think you have it pretty much word-for-word.
This will not filter through to the average person. All they’ll see is Elon pulling out, and Twitter will continue to censor anything remotely right wing.
The problem with this is that MSM is in the same boat (pockets) Twitter is. Social media in general is, too.
.
So this entire exposition is gonna get shut down with the quickness and likely forgotten about sooner than any of us imagine.
But it would have gotten more attention had Elon taken over and made changes.
Elon himself would have made public announcements, and it would be a bigger news story.
Why else would the powers that be at Twitter, be so unwilling to cooperate?
