8. Elon is misleading, as usual.

First and foremost he literally signed a contract to buy Twitter before any of the usual due diligence stuff. All other issues aside, he made his choice.

Second, and more importantly, Elon asked for and Twitter honestly declared the number of "monetizable users". It's not the overall number of bots but rather the number of bots that are "monetizable", i.e. users, bot or human, who can click on ads. Elon's probably technically correct - it ain't 5% of Twitter that's bots. But in terms of users that can make a profit, it probably is only 5% bots and other scum, so Twitter is legally correct.

Elon has always played this "AKYUSHULLY" game, but it looks like it's gonna finally bite him the ass; ideally to the tune of $44B and serious hurt for him and Tesla.
