Lol if you’re the CEO of a company and you’re knowingly scamming a buyer about your bot count, you’re not being bullied.

You’re being caught.

Parag is right, it turns out people don't like the feeling of pissing in the ocean. So many don't even bother adding a pic or changing their assigned username.

What you and deluded Musk call "bots" are the same demographics which creates throwaways on Reddit and also on here just to answer a comment which enraged them.

It's logical, and also proven elsewhere. It always amazes me the logical leap that cult members are willing to go through in order to elevate the cult leader who can't do no wrong.

No this was just Parag failing to read the room. You'd think a CEO of his level would appear more strategic when talking directly to a potential private buyer.

Regarding Twitter's failure to disclose the number of bots. Musk is well within his rights to squeeze the tomato before he makes a price offer.

Right, and that time was before he signed a $44B contract, which was the price offer.

Elon’s own data scientists agreed with Twitter’s bot count.
