It's been fairly obvious that he's been trying to find a way out or to renegotiate the deal after the recent pullback in tech valuations, and is grasping at the bot claims as an attempted excuse to do so.

It's been speculated. What if there's nothing to read between the lines here and he's just saying what he thinks?

What he said was he wants to renegotiate the price or leave the deal. So, it's less "reading between the lines" and more "reading what he wrote"

Are you using this Tweet as your source? Because that's not what he said.

No, I'm not basing it off that tweet. I'm basing it off (summaries of) his interview on the podcast "All-In" from mid-May.

I'd be interested in reading those summaries. Would you care to link?

There's always that possibility, but his history of market manipulation should incline people to distrust his stated motivations.

By history of market manipulation do you mean that his saying things moves markets or that he's actually engaging in criminal activity?
