Elon Musk has maintained his allegation that false and spam accounts could account for more than 20% of Twitter’s users, stating the acquisition transaction “cannot move forward” until Twitter verifies the veracity of its far lower estimate of less than 5%. Musk is currently in the midst of paying $44 billion for Twitter and its estimated 226 million monetizable daily active users.
According to reports, Musk made similar remarks at a tech conference in Miami yesterday. During the presentation, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that bots might account for at least 20% of Twitter users. “Right now, I’m being informed that there’s simply no way to know the number of bots,” Musk remarked. “It’s as enigmatic as the human soul.”
