Prediction: As part of the acquisition, there’ll be a due diligence, in which Elon Musk will audit the fake users. The audit will show Twitter users and engagement numbers are inflated with bots… by a lot. That will trigger a lawsuit on Twitter manipulating numbers for higher valuation. That’s a financial crime, and the SEC will be involved. The responsible for the inflated stock price will be sued, possibly arrested, for fraud (Jack, Parag, board of directors, CFO, other top execs, tech leads responsible for the manipulation algorithms). The audit will also reveal government involvement in directing those censoring actions (1st Amendment violation), illegal surveillance (4th Amendment violation), and electoral manipulation. Twitter stock will tank, and Elon may be entitled to a discount (write off). It might be cheap enough for DWAC to buy and incorporate the assets. Mostly my speculation, but I think a write off due to inflated numbers is likely.
