Earlier this morning, Elon tweeted a reply about his upcoming purchase of Twitter to @Teslarati: “20% fake/spam accounts, while 4 times what Twitter claims, could be *much* higher. My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate.Yesterday, Twitter’s CEO publicly refused to show proof of <5%. This deal cannot move forward until he does.”
It feels like the world’s richest troll is toying with us. He clearly has no use for Twitter’s incumbent management team. If he truly doesn’t trust the company’s SEC filings, well… I could go on and on, but I’d rather hear from you. Is this Elon’s way of bargaining for a cheaper purchase price? Is he just messing with us? Has he lost interest? Did he get cold feet?
