    A group of investor plaintiffs sued Musk for securities fraud alleging that Musk lied about the number of spam accounts on Twitter as part of a plan to drive down the company’s stock price and manipulate the terms of his acquisition.

    You know what I find funny in all of this.

    • How it started: Musk tweeted for Twitter to be more transparent about Twitter in general and specifically about bot accounts.
    • How it’s going: Musk suing people for showing everyone Nazi shit next to Disney ads.

    I tell you, that 180° there, life comes at some folks fast.
