... It was built up over time with fake accounts owned by bots controlled agents of influence The bots would be used to generate false opinions and trends which would be used by woke Leftists in government and corporate influence positions as data to present to decision makers as real data to sway opinions and force corporate officers ( many of whom were woke themselves and needed little persuading) to move their companies leftwards. )

This is like version 2.0 of “Death by Excel”. back in the 90’s, companies could become fixated on metrics to the point of losing track of where they actually wanted the company to go. Metrics began to replace human judgment in decision making.
A classic example is Apple, under John Scully’s leadership, was driven by metrics without vision. Everything looked great on paper, for awhile, then it didn’t. What followed was a series of CEOs all metrics driven. The company was churning out dozens of variants of its computers without a focus or vision. The result was a company that was months away from financial collapse when Steve Jobs was brought back as CEO as part of Apple’s purchase of the rights to Next.
In the 2.0 version of “Death by Excel”, we have “Death by Twitter”. CEOs, again lacking both courage and vision, are easily swayed by the mob mentality of Twitter and come to believe its opinion is somehow representative of general opinion in the U.S., which it’s not. It doesn’t help when these same companies become infested with a small woke, but very vocal, cadre of employees.
most of the innerwebs is fake, but who defines fake ?
nowadays, somehow the number of clicks equate to truth ?
2. I would like to see the deal completed just to see that Indian woman lawyer, Twitter's own Minister of Truth, pounding the pavement, looking for a new job, with a very sullied resume. The same for all the other wokesters at that company.
3. Donald Trump, Jr. on the board would be a delicious outcome.
Dogcoin is going to pay for it for Elon. He has it in the bag. The CIA can’t continue to use Facebook and Twitter, or any other host of Tech companies as stock holder financed enterprises and keep them on the DNC reservation. The government never thought they could lose an intelligence program and Biden isn’t about to give up on Twitter.

I was just thinking of Rush’s Bot analysis...he was onto them years ago
Absolutely. A lot of dumb politicians rely on it to see which way the wind is going.
Hilarious example of this was the Boris Johnson victory against Jeremy Corbyn in 2019.
Corbyn and company were completely convinced they were going to have a landslide on their behalf and were flummoxed when they lost. They had be relying on tweets to gauge the volume of who was with them.
And how much of farcebook is a copy or model for that ponzi scheme?
He will never pay the breakup fee. Instead, he will rightly claim the deal was fraudulently represented and walk to let the house of cards crumble.
I doubt he ever intended to consummate the deal. He loves to screw with people’s heads and this one is a lu lu eclipsing his prior efforts. He is laughing his ass off right now while he watches the worm squirm.
This may also be vengeance to draw attention away from the SEC investigation into his late filing of significant ownership in titter. The investigation into his actions will go on but he has created a much bigger S-storm for the people who ratted on him and are trying to help out their little libtard friends.
Down stock in a down market. Could be fatal if not make them sick for a long time.
It was often worth the price of admission to get into a data room when a company was offered for sale. I’ve participated in tire kicking many times. You can learn a lot even if you don’t buy or even bid.
Opening a data room is precarious and often gets what the pump and dumpers deserve in trying to make a fast buck or polish a turd for sale.
One or both of two things will prevent his having to pay the breakup fee.
SEC will stop the deal. The libs have wanted this all along and thus the investigation into his not filing significant ownership.
Fraud
5%? More like 50%.
The ossifers better hope their D&O coverage stands up or they are going to be spending a lot of money defending themselves in civil suits.
Musk has lobbed a big bag of stinking crap into this deal. The more I think about it the less I see titter coming out well. Perhaps this was to help Trump with his Truth social media offering? Perhaps a merger or absorption or just kill titter? All Trump has to do is.... NOTHING. It would be delicious.
What about his 10 billion dollars worth of stock?
Never a single dividend in its entire history. If they made any money, they simply divided it up among the VIP folks for pay-raises/bonuses. All of this was based on advertising dollars, and fake accounts. SEC ought to walk in and ask for a full audit.
Wanna bet that once this deal fails and he walks away, within 100 days, he says ‘what about Meta/FB’? Don’t they have the same fake account problem as well?
I would like for Elon to drop out also, we now have Gettr, Truth, Rumble, Gab, we have created our own social media it will take a little time to get people off Twitter but I like you want Twitter to crash and burn!! Musk is hurting Tesla with this Twitter mess!! Not worth it Elon SCREW TWITTER!!
Their evil witch legal officer, Vijaya, was making $12 million a year! Insanity.
If you haven’t watched the Joe Rogan episode from about 3 years ago, where Tim Poole interviews Jack Dorsey and Vijaya, it’s an interesting look into Sili Valley mindset and dynamics.
