Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Elon Musk move not to purchase Twitter is based on the topic of how high is the percentage of bots in Twitter. Twitter has a number which Musk says is not true. There is also a sentence from Musk stating the the company Twitter is going to have a material adverse effect because of this problem. It means that credibility of Twitter as a social media company is going to be hit, and people will think of it more as bot business. And maybe he is right. For some it means Musk is not just thinking about money, but he is thinking about leaving Twitter naked in front of the world, looking for transparency. Of course, for others, it's another sign of Musk looking for attention, playing with money and investors, and living life without any worry about what he does. What do you think?
