Another way Twitter fraudulently keeps their numbers inflated is that when they permanently ban you, you no longer have the power to delete your own account. So you are unable to participate in any way, but they retain you as a member number forever.

The tech and teslas and such don’t pay dividends. That is not their business model for some reason.

Microsoft and apple pay a paltry dividend of between 0.6 and less than 1%. Tesla is none because they are plowing it back into building but they give out lots of treasury stock.

3. SEC steps in and starts asking questions about the fake accounts, when they knew they existed, and whole deal has to be halted while they figure out if advertisers were openly lied to, and the value of the company is a lot less.

4. Plaintiffs' securities fraud lawyers are likely at this moment drafting complaints against Twitter regarding claims of 5% or less bot accounts.

It appears that it was an attempt by Musk to ferret how many accounts were fake.🤔

Agree. Which he already knew as he tweeted when he first bought the stock that there were tons of bots and fake accounts. Pretty sure this is a purposeful take down

Maybe he’ll start a shareholder lawsuit against Twitter.🤔

When they open up the folders and the bulk of bots are followers of Hillary, WaPo, NY Times, Biden....more questions will follow.
