The agreement have a massive out; yes it doesn't matter what Elon thinks about the bots but if his financier think bots are an issue he gets an out since Twitter for some reason let a financing clause in.

You mean Musk agreed to buy Twitter contingent on financing and now is trying to torpedo his own financing after he himself agreed to the sale? There's a lot of talk of fraud in the comments here, but to me _that_ sounds like fraud on Musk's part.

In any case, I guess we'll have to see if Musk's financing really gets pulled and if that really means Musk is off the hook.

He doesn't have to torpedo anything just make enough noise that they get cold feet.

That falls under my personal definition of "torpedo".
