Or maybe he is trying to force them do their jobs (reduce bots/spam) even before he officially takes over

Wouldn’t it be easier to close the deal and just do that thing?

Doesn’t make sense to buy the company to do things and… not just do that.

Especially given the big pitch was that he'd clean up the bots. If there are loads of bots, that would make it easy to get a cheap win and look like a hero.

if you can get the company to do things you think are valuable before you’re making interest payments on money you borrowed to buy it, that makes a lot of sense.

wtf knows if that’s what’s going on.

If it is important wouldn’t you want to do it?

It’s not like flipping a switch, how matters, as does following up on effectiveness and so on. I would think someone planning to run the company would want to do it right…

Twitters job is to make money, so if they can monetize bots nobody has any problem with those.
