> Imagine Musk buying Twitter and starting open up exec emails knowing about the bot numbers being inaccurate.

There's different levels of knowing about inaccuracies.

There's knowing that your methods of determining bots are probably not optimal and the number is most likely undercounted, but it was a good faith albeit imperfect effort.

Then there's knowing that bots are actually some other specific number and suppressing that information.

I think the former is much, much more likely than the latter and wouldn't really be a huge controversy if it leaked.



Apart from that, out of 5000 employees, you can bet there is one employee disagreeing in email and that employee's opinion is discarded.

There is at least one person disagreeing on any topic.

It is a risky situation all around.

I reckon that good faith is not enough.
