I do not think it is a lame excuse in the slightest.... I think it is a very pertinent question.... the most important question relating to the twitter business model full stop. Did they ever cough up solid data on it? thought the deal was contingent on that ?
I do think it's fair to say that there's a good chance that Elon went in knowing he was going to turn up some shit which would sour the deal.
Perhaps, and perhaps specifically it was to do with the bots.
Personally I do not care what happens with the deal, I would LOVE to see Twitter under the microscope on this issue though
in court, very much.
I reckon it probably does not end up in court thou
It's funny how the twitter board tried everything possible to stop Elon's purchase, but now they are taking him to court to force him to buy it.
