He Musk get an answer ,LOL
Low tech moron here......is it possible twitter bought enough time to scrub the data to make it look better that it really is or am I out in left field?
It is much less “compliance” than it it overwhelming with useless unformatted data.
Musk has had some spectacular accomplishments and his recent celebration of free speech and denunciations of the the Democrat’s destructive nonsense has been welcome. However his fortune is largely based on Tesla and its stock price. IMHO Tesla is not the corporate juggernaut that the press portrays and its stock is way overvalued. Tesla has made a huge capital investment in China but thus far it has not been able to extract one dollar of real profit for its efforts. The Chinese meanwhile have learned and obtained all of Tesla’s proprietary assets. Also just how profitable are the sales of its EVs in the American market. Despite gasoline shortages the motoring public has not rushed to buy these expensive vehicles. Many don’t want them under any circumstances. However the company seems to be doing well in Europe until recently. The point is that if Musk is to assemble $44 billion to buy Twitter, the banks have a fiduciary responsibility to ascertain the true value of his stock, that he is using as collateral. He might be behind the scenes experiencing some difficulty assembling the cash. Tesla stock would decline sharply if he tried to sell his holdings to purchase Twitter and he might lose control of Tesla.
A couple of thoughts here. Elon is no dummy. He’s a smart guy, and is surrounded by some VERY smart nerds. (As a fellow nerd I can call them that). If they provide a bunch of data, the nerds could whip up some code to parse it into easy to digest chunks. So “Overwhelm them with BS” might not work. Secondly, if they report a bunch of fake info, and the sale goes through, and Elon and crew get access to the REAL info, that’s a lawsuit/criminal charges waiting to happen. I suspect the SEC would frown on such shenanigans.
And lastly (I guess I had 3 things, not 2). If #2 were to happen, everyone associated with it would be fired, and he would still own Twitter. Which MIGHT still end up being a good thing.
“comply with Elon Musk’s demands for internal data by offering access to its full “firehose,” the massive stream of data comprising more than 500 million tweets posted each day...”
Almost seems like “malicious compliance”. He wants data, so they will give him so much data it would take him decades to sort through it and find the information he needs.
They were acting like they had a choice.

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