Let's assume Twitter and Musk are in deed playing this game here, then people and whether or not the data provided by Twitter is enough to detect bots is not the point. Whether or not the SEC, and courts at some point, see the shared data as sufficient for Twitter to fulfill transparency requirements is important.

Correct, for the legal part of the purchase.
But there is also a “public opinion” part, and that’s about politics. I have the impression that Tw is trying to at least remain in control until the upcoming elections.

Only that public opinion so doesn't matter when it comes to the legal aspects of this.
And this has nothing to do with elections whatsoever, just with a but hurt trying to buy Twitter out of spite.

It’s not about the legal outcome, it’s about freedom of expression that many seem to be willing to sacrifice on the altar of ideologically fuelled hate.
