Earlier quoted context omitted.

There's another belief floated by Josh Wolfe (an investor with Lux Capital) who claimed it was a ruse to liquidate Tesla stock en masse without Tesla hodlers getting suspicious and tanking the inflated stock price. https://twitter.com/wolfejosh/status/1545387947578597376

Wolfe has being on anti Musk crusade for a long time.

But is it true?

It seems apparent to this observer that he developed cold feet pretty fast after an impetuous decision, and has been looking for any reason to back out of it since then. The spam accounts angle seems like a convenient scapegoat, rather than a real surprise to him. He's clearly eccentric in his approach to decision making: I don't think any Harvard Business School course will teach "the Musk Principles". But it's uncl…

I mean, it didn't necessarily take Josh Wolfe to see this as a viable possibility.

That's a strange way of saying he was right.

Market manipulation disguised as free speech advocacy. Pure and simple.

Including, among other things, by failing to maintain operations in the regular course of business because of, I kid you not, allowing some senior officials to resign .

Musk himself has addressed this, saying that the waiver is null and void if the data supplied to the SEC by Twitter is fraudulent. I can only assume he believes that is the case. >>First, although Twitter has consistently represented in securities filings that “fewer than 5%” of its mDAU are false or spam accounts, based on the information provided by Twitter to date, it appears that Twitter is dramatically understat…
