Anyone that has spent any amount of time on Twitter, should notice the vast amount of bot accounts. All social media is infested. I'd say Instagram is a close second to Twitter.

Looks like twitter falsified it's financial statements and is in a big legal bru-ha-ha with Elon. Gonna be fun to see where Twitter is really getting it's money from.
Elon Musk requests records from Twitter advisers amid lawsuit
TLDR:

Counter suit from Musk. Should get interesting.
I wonder if this was the goal all along, create a bunch of turmoil and then expose Twitter and tank its stock? Or was this a legit initial offer?
I am not sure, actually, and at this point, I am too afraid to ask. Kidding, I just don't care.
I hope this leads to the fiery demise of the worst social media app ever invented.

I'm with you on the "don't care" what the goal was. But in the early days, before they started censoring the truth, Twitter had it's moments. The play by play during Benghazi was the only real information out there.
Oh I am not bemoaning the usefulness of such a platform, for sure. Quite the opposite.
Twitter (or whatever widget app we use as a worldwide open market of information) is a fantastic tool, philosophically.
But in practice, fuck Twitter. Toxic, terrible influence on society and a blight on what we consider "freedom of speech".

Not really sure where to put this...but if the White House is asking companies to de-platform individuals we have significant problems.
The White House privately demanded Twitter ban me months before the company did so

The federal government is conspiring with private business powerhouses to silence the speech of US citizens and damage the regime's political enemies? That's... terrifying.
So... I guess the deal is back on now?
He got concessions from them to avoid publicity about the bots.
He will nuke those accounts and probably nuke the legal team and managers who allow bot accounts.
I am personally super excited for this to happen quickly- like, before the mid terms.
Not that twitter has engaged in years of 1st amendment violations on behalf of the government or anything... but maybe that changes and the public square is open again.

As a non-Twitter user this continues to have no effect on me. However, as a casual observer this whole dumb saga is hilarious to watch
In the absolute circus that is this timeline, I agree. High quality distraction. I also don't have twitter, and I will maintain that I still hope both Twitter and Elon are bankrupted by this deal. Just cause chaos.

Y'all knew it wasn't going to be that simple, right?
