Elon Musk is in “Bonkersland”?

Is bot data considered IP? Would be an interesting argument to make.

 

User data, which includes bot data, is property of the company it is given to. That's why they have mile long privacy and user agreements.

 

The bot data though could make a social media site look way more impressive (user wise) than it actually is and since it's not real users I would think that is something that should be shared and not be scared to share or hide. That's just my opinion and it's probably wrong.

 

That sounds right to me. That's why it was weird when Musk waived investigating that prior to putting in his bid, while explicitly talking about how he was going to get rid of all the bots.

 

The guy is just weird and a lot of what he does makes little to no sense but somehow he usually manages to land on his feet. I am thinking he has buyers remorse and is taking a page from the louis vuitton playbook.

 

Ya, I'm thinking he got caught up in the meme and didn't think through how long it would take to make 50 billion dollars off of twitter. It's surely not worth that much.

 

If he already owns the shares I don’t see how he can sell them without triggering an alert. It’s not remotely plausible. These things are easy to track and they’ll know if he doesn’t own it anymore.

yes all rich people are evil for evil sake and no amount of money is enough to not risk going to jail. Got it. Makes sense to me.

 

They filed that it was like 5%.

They aren't scared to share, since they've shared.

This is whether someone's PERSONAL belief should compel a private company to share MORE than they already have.

 

hard to believe it’s only 5 percent

 

Great. That's called a personal belief.

 

I think he is saying what they are sharing is inaccurate and is asking for more information to back up what they are saying. He waived basically all due diligence from what I understand so he may be wasting his time on this. I will say the firm he hired doesn't take a case they think is a total loser so maybe there is something I am not seeing here.

 

If they are lying though couldn't it be considered misleading information that could lead to a material breach of the contract?

 

Firms take cases to take 1/3rd of a judgement or settlement, or bill legal fees. It has nothing to do with win or loss, they get paid anyway.

Twitter has shared additional data with him, as he requested. That's the "more information" he asked for. He got it.

 

How would they be lying? They shared data.

He is saying he didn't. I guess a court will decide that now but I am guessing a settlement comes out of this before a court even gets to decide. Also the firm he hired will want to win this or get a good settlement. It's a huge reputation booster.

 

it’s a belief held by every Twitter analyst on Wall Street too

 

He doesn't believe they have shared everything or they manipulated things. He has to prove that in court now.

 

No way that could be true.

 

that Twitter underestimates fake accounts?

 

I'm guessing they do to some degree. I was just kidding.
