Twitter as obviously been fiddling the books so its common sense that Musk will have second thoughts about buying it.

Everyone fiddles their books.

Can Elon still afford to do the original $54.20-share price? As it now looks like it'll "cost" him a hell of a lot now than it did.
Although i'm now question the whole endgame plan, as if there was then it doesn't appear to be going his way
Yup, he's been moaning about the deal for a while, certainly since the SEC/FTC (standard procedure i believe)/lawsuit came into play.

Is the termination fee ($1bn) clear cut in the merger agreement or would he be able to wangle out of it some how, perhaps with political pressure? Like Paxton currently "looking" into Twitter which definitely has a whiff of Elon about it considering all his business in Texas.
Is it part of the merger agreement that Elon & co have access to raw user data?

Seems Elon fiddles with a lot of stuff.

Big statement there, can you prove it?

I'm sure I can find a youtube pundit somewhere to agree with me without evidence...

I've not paid attention really, but saw some suggestion his agreement to buy actually specifically waived the due diligence requirement.

According to the documentation, twitter is legally obliged to provide musk with the information he requests in order to facilitate the consummation of the contract. The requesting of user data satisfies the agreements they have both previously agree'd to.
I recommend watching this video by a US based contract lawyer who goes over the recent letter sent to Twitter by Musk.
They can't tell themselves
Yeah, the whole point is to make it look like they're legit users. If they all signed up from a Russian IP then it would be simple to ban them.

The problem for a lot of public networks is the bots. In smaller networks they can make up more than actual users. But the network owners either don't want to remove them because their overall user count will go down, or they are held to ransom by whoever controls the bots.

Obviously? If it's so obvious, it was rather stupid of the richest guy in earth, to publicly announce, and then put in a legally binding offer, to take over twitter, without doing basic homework. Fool on Elon for that if what you say is true
Interesting you skipped Bowdons statement above

I didn't get to it yet. If they are fiddling the books and can be proven then probably nothing will happen.

It certainly hasn't put Elon in a good light at all. He had an almost cult like following, every word he said watched as it'll spike prices, make them go sky high, make everyone near him rich etc. But now he just looks like some arrogant fool that has had his time and now starting to lose it.
What type of free speech do you think people want? Do you think everyone wants the ability go type the N word to people they don't like with no repercussions? I actually think some of you believe that and I wonder what sort of world you think you occupy.
