What if Elon's main case is that TWTR has no real handle on bots since his verified account is actually not him. Or even worse, it's a bot he developed as a side project years ago for precisely such a scenario?

You can imagine TWTR trying to amend their plaint documents to remove mention of the Elon tweets when they're unable to prove that he's the one tweeting.

My concern is Twitter will want to avoid discovery, and will quickly settle if the lawsuit gets to that phase.

This happened very recently with a lawsuit by journalist Alex Berenson. It was a free speech lawsuit, but as soon as the judge threw out TWTR's motion to dismiss and the case went to discovery, they decided to settle and keep the terms of the settlement under wraps.

Not to sound too conspiratorial, but I suspect TWTR has made some backdoor deals with the gov't that they don't want the public to know about.
