Not really relevant but sure
This reads like Paxton using his office on behalf of Musk. I’m not one for coincidences.
It's a direct result of tesla moving to texas. Musk comes out as a converted Republican and the AG allows him to use his office for personal gain.

It’s not corruption, if it’s legal.

Paxton alleges that Twitter's spam estimate may be "false, misleading, or deceptive" under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. His demand letter said the state law (specifically, section 17.61) gives his office authority to demand the documents and said that Twitter has until June 27 to comply.
"Texans rely on Twitter's public statements that nearly all its users are real people," Paxton said. "It matters not only for regular Twitter users, but also Texas businesses and advertisers who use Twitter for their livelihoods. If Twitter is misrepresenting how many accounts are fake to drive up their revenue, I have a duty to protect Texans."

I wonder if this guy has some Tesla stock, or has hand involved with one of the banks loaning money to Musk.
The # of Republicans who have won elections while under indictment is fukking insane. It should be illegal for an Attorney General of all things to serve once a grand jury has indicted him.

Did he not forego any want or need for further DD in his written offer to buy the company? Amusingly, I think that he even publicised his written offer to the board to buy the company on Twitter itself.
Pure hubris, and it’s now coming back to bite him.
Haha. c*nt.
