ELON MUSK: too many fake Twitter, I don’t buy without certain user data. But Twitter plans to oblige it
Billionaire Elon Musk tweeted Tuesday morning that he will not proceed with the $ 44 billion Twitter purchase until the social media platform can prove that 'Bot' and 'Fake' users are less than 5% of the total. , making another turn to the whole question of buying Social Media. For Twitter, he is now thinking of forcing his hand and forcing him to buy
Twitter estimated in a recent SEC filing that less than 5% of monetizable daily active users (or mDAUs) in the first quarter were bots. Musk doesn't believe that figure and said, "The Twitter CEO has publicly refused to show evidence of <5%."

20% fake / spam accounts, while 4 times what Twitter claims, could be * much * higher.
My offer was based on Twitter's SEC filings being accurate.

the number of real twitter users, not fake ones or bots managed by some Indian server farm, is essential to enhance a social media which, in the end, is valid for the number of people who frequent it. Isn't it that Elon Musk is starting to agree with Donald Trump, who easily states that Twitter is only full of bots so that, in the end, the purchase will fail?
Above all, but how many BOTs have been hired by the mainstream media and politicians to pretend they have a big hint? Social media seems to be yet another huge bubble.
But the story is not over. According to the FT , Twitter said it intends to enforce the $ 44 billion acquisition deal with Elon Musk, hours after Musk's claims. "Twitter agrees to complete the transaction at the agreed price," he said Tuesday, too. if publicly, and on his own platform, he quarrels with Musk.
