“My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate.” Elon Musk said early Tuesday that his deal to buy Twitter will not move forward until the company proves that less than 5 percent of its accounts are fake.

until the company proves that less than 5 percent of its accounts are fake.

Musk, responding to a tweet from a Tesla-focused media company, said that some analyses had found Twitter to be as much as 20 percent fake, which would be four times what Twitter publicly claims in its filings."Yesterday, Twitter's CEO publicly refused to show proof of Musk and Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal exchanged some tweets on Monday after Agrawal wrote a Twitter thread explaining the challenges of finding and stopping fake accounts.

In a series of 13 tweets, Agrawal laid out how Twitter uses a combination of human review and automated detection to try to deal with fake accounts. Musk has called for Twitter leadership to be more transparent in how they calcuate the number of fake accounts on the platform. Agrawal said in his tweet thread that the company has to keep private some of its methodology for counting fake accounts.

freepeeper Elon engineering a way out of the deal without paying the one billion dollar fine. He’s a fool. How many billions did he lose Tesla investors with this stunt? How many potential Tesla customers did he permanently turn away from his now toxic brand?

Played?

He’s backing out! 😂😂😂

Twitter didn't solicit his bid. He gets Twitter 'as is' or not at all.

Musk about to lose a lot of his own followers lol

So by devaluing Twitter don't you also stand to lose money from the people you sell advertising to why should they spend premium money on Advertising on fake accounts.?

When they are 100-100 with the sample size. I’d say the company is WWWAAAYYYY overvalued!

Or in other words, oops!

So the richest man in the world didn't do a basic risk assessment BEFORE making the offer of $44,000,000,000?

Lol. My offer to date Gal Gadot will not move forward until she proves she has any interest in me.

He’s looking for a way out…

Sumbody didnt get the moneys they wanted!!!! Bad boi bad boi the cops are gonna catch ya bad boi bad boi LOLOL

he should firs and before all provide medical certificate showing he is capable able and understand and the consequences of what he saying otherwise better say i was high and insane when made the offer

A disguise for a dead Twitter deal. Tesla stock declines saw Musk's wealth evaporate. Hedge funds have enjoyed the ride but it's now over.

If lying is free speech, isn’t fakeness? C’mon Elon, do better. Be best.
