Isn't that something he should've done before making an offer? It's not like he just discovered that bots are a thing.

You think Twitter would be that open to let someone dig that deep into their IP before a purchase?

No, you make closing contingent on certain parameters. Twitter execs aren't going to drop their panties for inspection unless there's a good chance the deal might close.

It was pretty much a hostile take over ... quite sure they didn't let him come in and "kick the tires" on their user data.

This happens all the time. Literally. Sometimes you can kick the tires if you have a letter of intent, sometimes the offer is conditional on passing a due diligence.
