Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

"Report: Average price of gas reaches all-time high in the U.S."

Remember when some on here (I won't call them out by name, that would just be rude) was espousing Biden's amazing handling of the energy crisis and how his release of strategic oil reserves was making progress?

I remember... LOL.

@Methais you rush to accept as fact that Elon Musk insists 20% of accounts are bots, while clearly overlooking the caveat in the article he doesn't substantiate that figure. Musky wants to run Twitter, give people the write to say whatever the fuck they want, which clearly he's been guilty of via an SEC charge he manipulated his stock via Twitter. Sure, Elon Musk is a subject matter expert of using bots to manipulate his own stock price, but I trust the company with the actual data. Not Elon Fucking Musk

I'm barely even paying attention to what's happening with any of that. However, it can't be denied by any reasonable person that 99.999999999999999999999999999999% of anything you say is wrong and extremely stupid, so one can pretty much never go wrong by assuming the opposite of anything you say is what the actual truth is.

Though it does sound shady that the current CEO is apparently refusing to show his so called proof that Twitter bots don't exceed 5%, especially since it would make Elon look pretty stupid after. Wouldn't you agree? If not, why not?

How and why does your writing ability continually devolve to elementary school special ed though? At this rate, you'll be spelling "cat" with a K by the weekend.

I also have one more question....what does abstinence mean, and how are republicans blocking it?

Maybe if we talk about how bots are replacing actual human eyes thus tipping the scale for Twitter, Seran will take notice.

All Musk is asking for is evidence that there is only 5% bots on Twitter, as Twitter has claimed repeatedly.

And they haven't.

Because it's probably closer to 25-40% and that would open themselves up to a lawsuit from advertisers who paid Twitter 5 BILLION dollars last year based upon the number of the people on it.

Twitter: 5% of our monetized users may be bots.
Elon: Your numbers are wrong, I don't have proof.
Twitter: We've already filed with the SEC, no.
Elon: But I really really need proof for my eventual lawsuit to avoid paying contract severance damages.
Twitter: We're not giving you free discovery based on your unsubstantiated claims.
Conservative Players Corner: Wah, Elon Musk deserves information he's not entitled to. Wah

In the future when you buy a product, remember not to expect any information about it except what is on the box.

You've got it. But Musk hasn't bought Twitter, what you mean is:

"Next time you request to buy something, demand schematics and process control details from the manufacturer."

This is closer to buying a house. They've accepted his offer, but aren't allowing in building inspectors before closing.

Is a social media company worth more with 5% bots or 20% bots or 40% bots?

Right. Not disputing that at all.

I’m just saying that he might be (pure speculation) leveraging that point for ulterior motives to either renegotiate the sale price or back out of the deal entirely. The outlook on stocks is rather bearish with rising interest rates and our current economic situation. The share price of twitter has fallen significantly since he struck the deal at $54.20 per share.

Regardless…I’m curious to learn just how many bots really are on Twitter.

He absolutely deserves that information seeing as the owners have agreed to sell it to him... Why in the world would you think he is not entitled to that?

[Tgo01]

What "proof" has Twitter provided exactly? All they have ever said is that they have conducted research and found fewer than 5% of their active users are bots.

EVERY investor deserves to know exactly how many accounts are bots, and especially the person buying the company deserves to know how many accounts are bots and how exactly the company arrived at that figure.

Seran, you don't have to be the dumbest person in every thread. You can take a break and let the other racist alt-leftists have their time in the sun for a while.
