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.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!

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.

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.
