I think people are way too hung up on the total % of bots. Yes, this is important from a financial perspective for Elon and advertisers.

But the scandal with Twatter isn't the number of bots, it's how those bots are used.

I would argue that the genuinely important number is the number of bots that engage in socially & politically relevant topics in order to shape opinion of the masses. And not only the #, but how they're used. That is the data that the Twatter execs really don't want seeing the light of day because if it does, it fundamentally destroys the platform as it is now.

If that data were to become public, millions will start questioning their perspectives, even more will be outraged that Twatter combined this kind of social engineering with censorship and deplatforming.
