> Lot's of twitter employees will suffer

This is the only part of this I am speaking to because the rest is exactly what is happening. Musk messed up and now a whole lot of people are put in a terrible situation going right into the holiday season. It's unconscionable for one of the richest people in the world to behave this way.

I was alluding to the fact that the Twitter execs deserve a great deal of the blame. There are many guilty parties in this story. Elon is just one.

The Twitter executives have been up to shenanigans for quite some time it seems. That is imo, the actual main reason this deal has been so messy.

Citations please. And don't cite Musk, he's not a neutral party to this. He's going to say anything that will make the old executives look bad.

Also, it was Musk who waive due diligence. This is ENTIRELY all on him.

EDIT: Since max depth was reach, there are _multiple_ comments about how he waived due diligence.

The bot thing was an entire hail mary to stop the purchase. It doesn't matter if Twitter lied about the bots.
