    Pretty sure Elon knows this is unwinnable. Data scraping isn’t illegal, unless you can prove that the scrapers intended to cause harm to Twitter in the process. He’s doing this to harass whoever made him make an embarrassing mistake with the rate limits. He has a history of spending a stupid amount of money to (unsuccessfully) save face.
