If Elon Musk asked for bot account and Twitter failed to provide that, then I don't see how it's illegal or how he can be sued.
 
It's same with buying a house, a buyer want to have the house inspected and all questions answered before full purchase begins. If the seller fail to provide everything the buyer ask for, the seller has no right to sue. 

Not exactly, Musk and Twitter signed a contract and that becomes the governing document for the deal. As part of the deal Musk waived his right to due diligence. Per your apology that would be like making an offer for a house and waiving your right to have it inspected. Per the contract he did have the option to drop out of the deal for no reason but only if he paid Twitter a billion dollars. He is trying to get out of the deal without paying the billion and using bots as the reason but waiving his right to due diligence is what will potentially sink him here. 

Interesting.  Where did you find this information?

Except he’s not buying a house so your analogy falls flat on its face.

I would be shocked if Twitter hadn’t covered this exact contingency in the contract.

Occam’s Razor says this is simply a sociopathic billionaire (but I repeat myself) trying to back out of a bad deal he made.

Inspection of a house before committing money is a perfectly apt example.  I wouldn’t be too sure that Twitter management covered any contingency like this is the contract. Twitter recently lost over $1.5B within an 18 month period.  So these guys haven’t exactly been on the ball.

GOOD!

His early stuff wasn't awful.  Everything he's touched for the last 15+ years has been.

You remember that old saying that it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt?  Well, take a hint.

As a singular focal point of Apple leadership, Steve needed Jony’s inspiration and design talent to march forward with innovative new products.

By all appearance Tim Cook manages by group consensus.  Tim, and his leadership team, recognize that design is important.  But it’s not Tim’s passion like it was to Steve.

Steve was an iconoclast, a maverick, and rule breaker.  But he is gone and there’s no re-creating him.  Apple’s leadership team have no choice but to run Apple with the skills and passions that they have available to them.  The Steve and Jony show, great as it was, is a bygone era for Apple that can never return.

So, a toast to what was, and a second toast to better things to come for both Apple and Jony.

This is fantastic.  The lack of opportunities for Palestinians is has been a major burden on their ability to thrive.  American companies should play an expanding role in this effort as more local authorities seem to stifle any attempt to help.
