I mean, to be clear, it isn\u2019t a good <\/em>pretext. It is, for instance, very hard to imagine that Musk\u2019s banks are clamoring for detailed information about spam accounts to line up their financing; Twitter has raised debt financing in the past with its existing bot disclosure. Nor is it clear what Musk\u2019s \u201creasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transactions\u201d is. And because it is so clearly part of Musk\u2019s broader trolling operation, it is hard to imagine him winning <\/em>if this ends up in court: If he refuses to close because Twitter won\u2019t humor his bot-fishing expedition, it seems unlikely that a Delaware court will side with him. But it does raise the risk <\/em>for Twitter, which gives him a bit more leverage to try to renegotiate the price. It is all going to get so much dumber.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
