1.) Twitter would need to be egregiously wrong. If Musk found that 7% of mDAU were bots, he would likely still be forced to purchase
2.) I feel like the inverse; that Twitter, it’s board, manager and employees were all in on a massive conspiracy to understate the bot problem for almost a decade. The number they presented wasn’t something they just gave musk, it was a number that they have been reporting to the SEC and investors for several years. It would be a massive fraud for Twitter to have committed.
In my opinion the whole thing is a massive distraction so Elon could pull out. The amount of people who only read (but never post) likely dwarfs the number of bots elon suspects there is (if the 90-9-1 rule is anything to go by). The mDAU number is a different, much larger, number than actual tweeters
The first line is what he is trying to do right now. The answer seems to be "maybe", it's going to court because there's a chance that he can but Twitter also thinks there's a chance he cannot.
The second, maybe. I doubt that Twitter would be interested.
Then could they draft a new contract, complete with a new price and daily active users estimates?
I don't know anything, so I'm asking. If someone out there is a M&A lawyer and can shed light, that would be great.
