the reason that elon musk can't get out of the deal over the bots thing is not that he "waived due diligence." it's that he SIGNED A BINDING AGREEMENT TO BUY TWITTER, and that agreement does not have any outs for "i think there are too many bots."

THREAD: There’s a lot of talk right now about crime in San Francisco. Almost everything you’ll read in the mainstream press is wrong. I live in the Tenderloin and work in the courts every day. Here’s my take on what’s happening and why.
@sama This sounds like a classic case of the Availability Heuristic. It's imperative that we follow data and not on examples that come to mind. https://t.co/zfdpSxBraY
@bibicosplays Completely agree. Words can harm and hurt individuals.
Honest question (and separate from the above). Is alopecia considered a disability?
