Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition seems to have taken another turn, and now it seems less likely than ever that the Tesla CEO will go through with his bid.
Musk replied to this tweet with what appeared to be a clear ultimatum, saying that the deal wouldn’t happen unless he was shown proof of Twitter’s estimate of fake and spam accounts, which Twitter reported to the SEC as less than 5%.My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate.This deal cannot move forward until he does.
Unfortunately, we don’t believe that this specific estimation can be performed externally, given the critical need to use both public and private information . Externally, it’s not even possible to know which accounts are counted as mDAUs on any given day. Musk did reply to Agrawal’s tweets with two tweets of his own: the first which featured a single poop emoji and the second which asked a question about advertisers.
