Twitter ordered to reveal true user numbers

 



WILMINGTON, Del, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) needs to give Elon Musk documents from a former Twitter executive who Musk said was a key figure in calculating the amount of fake accounts on the platform, according to a Monday court order. Bot and spam accounts on Twitter have become a central issue in the legal fight over whether Musk, who is Tesla Inc's (TSLA.O) chief executive, must complete his $44 billion acquisition of the social media company. https://reut.rs/3PMDXKh

  

Musk has accused Twitter of misrepresenting their user numbers, which they claimed only made up around 5% of their total traffic. Musk asserted that the amount of bots was much higher, and noted that Twitter seemed to be stalling access to vital data while trying to rush litigation in a bid to force a sale before the company had to relinquish all the required information.

 


The horoscope for the commencement of Twitter as provided by Deborah Houlding [1] is reproduced here. I have relocated the chart to Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco, CA showing only planets relevant to our discussion. Powerfully placed on the angles is the Jupiter-Neptune - Admetus T-square. A Jupiter-Neptune square can give rise to escapism and misrepresentation that can only lead to embarrassment, loss, and disappointment. Suspicions on Twitter's user numbers have been growing for some time. Twitter changed the way it manages and calculates such numbers in 2019 as their users began to decline. 

About the Jupiter-Neptune square, Martha Wescott writes: 

People who built their castles on sand discover that the tide has changed (and that piddly little bump is where their fortress used to be.) 

It is possible that the amount of data that Musk has received is enough to support claims that the company is built on a foundation of sand and that it has a high rate of fake accounts. If true, shares in Twitter could suffer a precipitous decline. 

So what is causing Twitter’s “sand castles” to collapse? Well for one thing, Saturn has been transiting over Twitter’s Neptune on the IC. The Aug. 15 Full Moon fell on the Twitter chart meridian activating the Saturn to Neptune transit. Metaphorically, interactions between Saturn and Neptune can express on the high end as “sobering up.” Saturn brings the energies of discipline and judgment to balance Neptune’s imaginary and escapist leanings. We may find ourselves in tense moments in which our escapism is brought to our awareness in the harsh light of day. If so, our challenge is to accept this new insight, and take responsibility for the actions that brought us to this place, and start taking steps to change our behavior.


 The court order came just after the Full Moon of Aug.11. At San Francisco, CA the Full Moon Wobble Grand Cross aligned with the meridian. This was discussed extensively in previous posts with examples of how “it brings suppressed energies to the surface, erupting and disrupting”.
