He just needs a sampling of accounts. They provided a sampling already but it was too tiny to be accurate. 100 accounts irrc.

Would be easy enough to do 10,000 accounts and see what percentage are bots.

“the firehose will have raw data”

And that can’t be manipulated I guess?....like I said, im a low tech moron.

or maybe ClownStrike and Perkins Coie teams will be providing Elon with a “management summary” of the raw data he originally requested. All FTC and financials firms would be fully supportive of this approach. /sarc

Just anecdotally, Twatter replies have gotten quite a bit more conservative since Musk began the process. IMO.

Ask anyone who has participated in corporate M&A, it’s a game of “you bet your job” whenever you make recommendations to top management about a target company, and they are relying on YOU, not on what you have been given.

Good post. Not to mention the certainty of a long jail sentence for falsifying the data to close a transaction like this.
