Twitter’s legal team is accusing Elon Musk of violating a non-disclosure agreement

Over the weekend the future buyer of the social platform tweeted: “Twitter legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100″

To find out, my team will do a random sample of 100 followers of @twitter.

I invite others to repeat the same process and see what they discover …

The world’s richest man is set to acquire twitter with a $44 billion deal.

But on Friday, Musk tweeted that his cash deal to take the company private was “temporarily on hold”

I’m not suggesting malice in the algorithm, but rather that it’s trying to guess what you might want to read and, in doing so, inadvertently manipulate/amplify your viewpoints without you realizing this is happening
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 15, 2022

This comes as he waits on data regarding fake accounts on the platform.

He says his team will test “a random sample of 100 followers” on Twitter to identify the bots.

Musk added later that he is “still committed to the acquisition”.

Australia’s jobs report shapes rate forecasts, with cyclical assets favored amid market volatility and upcoming Supreme Court rulings on tariffs.

Australia’s latest jobs report is shaping market expectations and interest rate forecasts. Strong employment growth could boost confidence in the economy, while weaker data might prompt a rethink of monetary policy.

Investors are favouring cyclical assets over growth stocks, targeting sectors like industrials, materials, and energy. David Scutt from StoneX notes this reflects both caution amid market volatility and a bet on areas tied to economic cycles.

Meanwhile, the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s reciprocal tariffs could significantly impact markets, yet many are overlooking its potential effects on trade, commodity prices, and sector valuations. Investors should prepare for possible volatility and adjust strategies accordingly.
