    But without Twitter he loses a big megaphone. Even his most devoted chuds aren't willing to go to other platforms to hear him.

    ah yes, Trump famously lacks media attention

    the Reuters article on this says there’s 229 million users on twitter

    5% of users being bots might seem low, until you realize that’s still over 10 million users whose sole purpose is to inflate targeted messaging

    So basically Elon makes a bid to buy Twitter at $44 Billion ($54.20/share). He has to leverage his shares of Tesla in order to do this, but he is limited to how many shares of Tesla he can sell/leverage. Tesla stock valuation sinks due Elon being Elon, then claims he basically didn't do his DD on Twitter and says that Twitter has more than 5% bots and wants to put the sell on hold because the 5% value to him seems low and wants to prove that it is higher so he can buy the stock lower. He's also trying to offer a sell of SpaceX stock to employees at $70/share to cover the cost.

    He's being a tool but also is absolutely correct in that the price should reflect more than 5% in bots lol

    In 2017 it was estimated at 8-15% so that number has most likely grown. But even at those levels you are looking at about 47 million bots.

    The angel bots say "so true bestie" and "don't forget to call in an officer down on the other side of town from the Curves gym to by you some extra time"

    It basically turns into a 4chan thread at that point. A bunch of white knighting the incel while lambasting "Jews and Niggers" for ruining everything.

    The cool part about this is that the average viewer doesn't have to see that shit, only the idiot in question!
