Twitter has previously lied to investors about user engagement and paid close to a billion in settlements for it. [1]

Seems to me that the company with a history of lying about engagement shouldn't immediately be trusted about engagement figures. Would you disagree?

No I wouldn't agree. Most of the time if you do something dumb at a company you make strong rules to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I guess that's why Boeing's MAX aircraft has had numerous safety issues after the two fatal incidents.

Tell me, do you trust BP's offshore drilling operations today?

In any case, I addressed your question. Twitter are proven liars on this exact metric.

You should have sent that to Musk back when he was talking about buying Twitter, I bet it would have helped his decision making process.
