Via Levine, more on the insanely high standard Delaware sets for MAEs (the rule of thumb Levine gives is "a 40% decrease in long-term profitability"):

This is about Delaware finding that an MAE occurred, for the first time ever, like literally ever, in 2018.
What we have here is a case where Twitter's performance isn't even faltering (it's stock price is, but its 2022 revenues are actually up). There's not a chance in hell for the MAE argument.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I didn't realize the bar was so high. With the bar being so high, does it create an incentive to intentionally overstate value, before a sale/acquisition? I would assume that everyone would safely coast around +30%.

Keep in mind that the onus is on Elon to prove to a court that the higher bot count has a large, material impact (on the order of 50% of Twitter's revenue). It's not something that is a matter of opinion, but rather based on his ability to argue his position to the court, for which he needs strong evidence.
