Of all the things that could stop Elon Musk from buying Twitter, spambots may be the culprit from either direction. Musk noted yesterday that he had put the deal on hold until he could determine the percentage of Twitter accounts that were spam/fake. Now, Twitter legal is striking back with a complaint of their own.
Musk Tweeted that his team was taking samplings of 100 accounts to determine the percentage. When asked, he later revealed that the number selected to make the determination was based on the criteria Twitter itself uses. According to Twitter legal, that’s information he shouldn’t have leaked, information that is protected by their Non-Disclosure Agreement.
I could be information they use to backtrack on the deal.
Twitter legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100!
This actually happened.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 14, 2022
Yesterday: “Any sensible random sampling process is fine. If many people independently get similar results for % of fake/spam/duplicate accounts, that will be telling. I picked 100 as the sample size number, because that is what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicate.”
Today: “Twitter legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100! This actually happened.”
If the deal falls through, leftists will rejoice that their side of the political aisle will still maintain total control over the “digital town square” of the internet. Meanwhile, conservatives will lament that the best chance of ever seeing Twitter embrace free speech in a fair and balanced format will have evaporated.
Conspiracy Note: I would be remiss to not mention a conspiracy theory that I started spreading a couple of weeks ago that predicted if the deal falls through for some silly reason, then it would be because there never really was a deal in the first place. In that scenario, all of this was theater for the sake of distracting people, particularly concerned patriots, away from various topics of true importance like the Pandemic Treaty, an abundance of news further demonstrating the fatal risks from the jabs, and the New World Order’s plans in Ukraine and across the globe.
When I first broached the theory, I put its chances at around 3%. The reason for my low confidence is that at the time, Musk seemed sincerely interested in making this deal go through. With this new development, I’m willing to bump up to a 5% chance. It’s still far-fetched as it seems unlikely a breeched NDA or a known spam account problem would derail it all.
But hey, one never knows in today’s crazy world.
Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of six sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker

Covid variant BA.5 is spreading. It appears milder but much more contagious and evades natural immunity. Best to boost your immune system with new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals from our dear friend, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
I like prophecy over predictions. Christ said the generation from May 14th 1948 would not pass before his return, 74 years ago today ~ how much time is left?
Alas, prophecy tells us globalism will reign in the last 3.5 years of the Great Tribulation. Today it’s all we hear about with WHO, Gates, UN, they’ve all talked about the Great Reset leading to globalism ~ the rapture is imminent and even they know it…
Yeah Elon that information should not have been published because if stock holders knew that .00000001% of the users were used in a survey to determine actual and real users, then there would be serious questions as to why such a small survey. And the question of why each member of the Twitter board is part of that 100 user survey would be asked…it would be very embarrassing to know 99% of the users are bots
its dumb because if he buys it, and once he buys it the NDA is useless.. so using that as an excuse to back out is an obvious excuse, actually i think it should not be a permitted excuse. bot numbers should be FORCED to be made public or its fraud.
Contracts are made to me broken but a handshake is the law of God.
Contracts are made to be broken but a handshake is the Law of God.
they are looking for an exit now that their illegal and fraudulent user count is coming to light with Musk doing due diligence before handing over the cash.
It would be fitting to watch some of those commies getting perp walked.
Perhaps Musk doen’t believe in NDA’s. I don’t.

There are far more than 10%-15% bot and fake/double/triple etc accounts. Many people have multiple accounts, so many have them that twitter offers the ability to “link accounts”.
Twitter is Wells Fargo’ing their shareholders into thinking there are more accounts than there truly are. That is misleading the investors and a buyer like Elon.
