At least to some extent. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By exDefensorMilitas: Originally Posted By Geralt55: Originally Posted By fargo007: Originally Posted By kncook: Originally Posted By fargo007: Originally Posted By LurchAddams: What exactly is a "fake account" on Twitter? Using an account with a twitter handle of "HonestAbe" rather than "Abraham Lincoln" - - would that be a fake account? An account that exists and doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with a real person. A computer controlled account that trends what you tell it to trend, and represents itself outwardly as being a real opinion. Most of these are probably created and operated by twitter itself, which is the underlying problem. Sounds more like musk is trying to expose/kill Twitter than buy Twitter. It could be both. Expose them, send the wokes responsible for it to jail, and then buy it for pennies on the dollar. It really looks like, he's playing a poker game with them where he's pushing them in on what they're claiming to be/have. "Oh you have only 5% bots? Really nowww." [Pushes in pile of chips] "Oh there's no AlgorithmTM serving a left-elite agenda while killing the site? Reallllly...." [Pushes in another stack of chips] Etc. It's amazing, Twitter and the media's freakout over this, is all because he's asking Twitter if what they're claiming to be true, is actually true. They cannot handle it. What's funny is, I really do personally believe Jack told him everything. He knows what questions to ask, he knows which claims to push, he knows what the real numbers are, and he's doing a "drip drip drip" to twitter's woke executives and janitors. I'm still of the belief that Jack is a case of a Founder and CEO who's company was taken in a direction he didn't want when he brought in outside people. At least to some extent. I'm with you on that. I don' think Elon is merely taking educated guesses on where to press. Maybe Jack told him everything, maybe he's heard a lot of "open secrets" about what twitter is and how it's run. I think Jack's talked to him, and he's probably had ground level employees talk to him too. If you're a 20something year old tech kid who got his first Tesla, Elon Musk basically is Tony Stark. I look forward to seeing this all unfold, I think Musk knows where the weak points are. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By midmo: I'm a little rusty on my multi-billion dollar social media acquisition procedures  ...Why would Musk be subject to the $1B pull-out penalty if the deal was made under false pretenses? It's my understanding he's buying it as is with no due diligence. Like waiving the inspection contingency on a home purchase contract. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fargo007: The value of the company rests entirely on the quantity of real, human users. If they misrepresented that, they have committed fraud by over-inflating the value of the stock. Fraud not only in the sale of the company to Musk, but they would have also been committing fraud against the shareholders as well. and advertisers? |

I'm seeing the word "context" being used a lot more frequently these days, by the usual suspects.

Not knowing how securities laws work, what would happen if Elon:
1. Disclosed an insider sale of 70 million shares at an average price of $30/share. 2. Backed out of the deal, claiming that all the so-called users were bots, and paid the $1B breach of contract fee. 3. Disclosed an insider purchase of 200 million shares at an average price of $10/share. |

If Parag doesn't clean up the numbers, Elon will find someone that will. |

Except for video of events that are taken live as they happen very little posted on twitter that you can't just get some place else.

By Parag's own admission, Twitter is shutting down "over half a million" accounts a day for spam.
Assuming, very optimistically, that their process is 90% effective, that missed 10% means 50,000 spam accounts *A DAY* are surviving. 50,000 * 365 = 18.2MM a year |

They have SEC filings. If they knowingly lied/misrepresented the company in the SEC filings he can walk away without penalty. |

I would think Elon would have a crew from the SEC crawl up his ass with a flashlight and a map, looking to make a case of market manipulation. I think a lot would depend on the timing and how close the 70m sale and back-out were to the 200m repurchase. |
