The U.S. Attorney General of Texas has launched an investigation against twitter over potential deception of the state's consumers and businesses for false reporting of fake bot accounts.

In May, Elon Musk said the deal to acquire twitter was on hold over spam/fake accounts. [webmasterworld.com]

And now Musk is threatening to walk away from the deal, and is choosing to do his own investigation over spam/fake accounts. [bbc.co.uk...]

T has brought this down on themselves for not being openly transparent on the methodology employed to produce the <5% claim. If Musk does walk away, or Texas can find other proofs, that might drastically affect t's future stock value.
