I don't think it would be verified by somebody being given access to Twitter's internal data and redoing their process. At most both sides will trot out some expert witnesses to talk about whether the process / rating guide described in the internal docs are reasonable (what Twitter does doesn't need to be perfect, just not outright fraudulent). I look forward to finding what kind of a kook Musk finds as his expert. Maybe Musk hopes to find something in discovery to discredit the process, e.g. evidence of the process not being followed, or of the numbers being tampered with. |

Indeed. But surely they have at least internal audits. They seem like they take this stuff seriously.

Indeed! If he picks his experts like his lawyers, this could be spectacular.

Yeah, he sounds like he’s hoping to find a smoking gun where some Twitter higher-up admits fudging the numbers. To be fair, if that is true, then Twitter deserves to be raked over the coals, even though it would not be sufficient to get Musk out of this mess.
