Reply to comment by Spartanfred104 in Musk’s Frequent Twitter Polls Are at Risk of Bot Manipulation | New research shows votes can be easily purchased during Twitter polls by MortWellian

Like I know the internet is dumb but have we achieved a new level of stupid? Spending $45 billion on a company that’s just people arguing over nonsense that isn’t profitable while issuing polls to make policy decisions is unimaginable stupidity.

Whatever happens, just remember you aren’t Elon Stupid. In the Stupidity Hall of Fame 90% of the Hall will be dedicated to Elon. That guy is a fucking moron.

He didn't even originally intend to buy Twitter, he was just trying to manipulate the stock but was so stupid he got locked into it.

It's not a definite thing, but it matches his previous pattern of activity, especially when you factor in how he offered so much more than the actual estimated value of Twitter. He even tried to back out by claiming there were more bots than he was told but wasn't successful because the contract he signed didn't allow that as an option, I believe.

I know nothing about the law, but wasn't it because he waived due diligence or something?

Going by r/EnoughMuskSpam/comments/w19d6j/twitters_filing_in_delaware_court_shows_musk_was/ you do due diligence before signing any contracts to begin with.
